MSAF Help
Ok so my problem is i want to MSAF one of my midterms on Tuesday but i WANT to write the midterm i have on Wednesday, and since the MSAF lasts for a 5 day period, i was thinking of starting my MSAF date on last Friday so the 5 day period would end before my midterm on Wednesday. But the problem behind that is i already written a midterm on last Saturday so if i used the MSAF starting on Friday would the Saturday midterm be disregarded..which is don't want happening.

How should i go about this?

You're over thinking this too much. The MSAF doesn't necessarily last 5 days, and no one will go and check up on your other midterms. Fill it out whenever you want (and state the time range to be only that day), and follow up with the prof/TA for the course to make sure it went through. Your Saturday and Wednesday profs won't know about the MSAF. Let me know if you have more questions

Anyone know if I can Msaf my Pol Sci 1GO6 paper and just get an extended deadline? It's worth 40% for this term but it's a full year course.

No. It has to be worth less than 30% to MSAF (it's irrelevant whether it's a full year course or not), and you don't get to choose what happens to your marks if you MSAF, it's up to the prof. He/She could choose to give you an extended deadline, a makeup assignment, move the marks to the exam, etc. You don't have any control over that.

The course outline and the first class is usually where the prof discusses how they deal with MSAFs and how the mark reallocation works when you submit an MSAF.

Confirmation on that. Nothing above 30% for an MSAF. If you get a doctor's note you might be able to get accommodation through the associate dean's office, even still it depends on the prof where the marks go.
