What happens if there is a "snowday" on an exam day? I know most people have exams this week and apparently Hamilton is supposed to be part of some snow/ice storm from Colorado with 10-15cm but lots of ice.

Just curious because I don't remember there being one last year so I am unfamiliar with the protocol.

Thanks!

It's a good question... this is my fourth year and I haven't had this problem. What I believe would happen is the exam would be deferred...meaning you would write the exam in feburary or whenever they hold deferred exams.

Yes, they're written during reading week - specifically between Deb 16 - Feb 19 this year.
