Saturday Exam
I have a final exam on a Saturday but I live in St.Catharines and take the GO bus in each day. The GO bus does not run on Saturday, and I have no other way of getting here.
Who do I contact to get my exam moved (email address preferred)?

im pretty sure coach canada runs daily from st. catherines --> hamilton, does it not? unfortunately that would be tough luck because i doubt they would move the exam for you for this reason. your best option would be to bunk with a friend or make some other arrangements.

Pretty unlikely they'll move it for something so trivial. You'll need to find a carpool, have someone drive you, etc. It sucks.

Welcome to Commerce. Imagine having this happen ALL the time.

This question comes up every year, and sadly, they are not obliged to do anything about it :(. Your best bet is to set up your accommodation for the night, stay with a friend maybe?

One of my friends had a Saturday exam from 7-10pm, ending after the last bus to take her home would leave...she just had to stay with a friend for the night. Commuting/buses aren't a valid excuse...by making the choice to come to McMaster, you assume responsibility for getting yourself to and from campus.

The GO bus goes to St Catharines and back from Hamilton?

Please explain, since I thought it was only Coach Canada that did so...

I think he probably takes it to Hamilton Go, and then an HSR bus. There's no Go bus that comes from St.Cat directly to campus.

It's brutal with the Commerce Friday night Saturday morning combo. It basically adds 40 minutes onto the commute each way since you have to take the 51 from Hamilton GO.

Atleast there is an awesome breakfast place at Hamilton GO I eat at everytime I have a saturday exam.

What do people taking the 47 GO do to get to Saturday exams? Is it just the same as everyone else? Or do they stay on-campus until Sunday morning?

Go take a shower in one of the gym's locker rooms, and then sleep in the student centre.

Be grateful though that you do not have a Sunday exam (ex. York U).
