Yep no changing dates just because you think it's too hard. The only way you can get out of an exam due to scheduling is if you have 3 back to back exams on the same day.

I think it's more like 3 exams in 72 hours. Or 48 hours, I can't remember which one.

well you could defer one of them. but u will need to have a valid reason. A valid reason is not that I have 2 hard exams on 1 day.

It would have to be 72 if at all.
I had 4 exams in the first three days of this week |

They have to be 3 or more consecutive exams. Otherwise no.
I had three exams within 24 hours and was told I wasn't allowed to defer. That was a hellish experience.

Yeah, it sucks, but it's life. Happened to me on Monday, it was awful, left one exam close to tears. But there's nothing that can be done if it's two on one day, just gotta truck through and hope for the best.

As of last year (could be different this year), you could only get a change if you had 3 exams in 24 hours, from midnight to midnight. Meaning, you had to write all 3 on the same day. |

I think the winter term rules are slightly different, that might be why. |

Yup, this fits with what I was told when I asked about deferring one of my exams this semester.

i believe it is three exams in 24hrs.
If you have three exams in 24hrs, you can change them.
Do clarify this with university admin just to be safe.
