a) not a conflict
b) if it *was* a conflict, you were supposed to have dealt with it long before now
c) write it.

If your Thursday night exam happened in the afternoon (so you had wed night, thurs morning/afternoon) then this is a conflict as this is basically 3 consecutive times slots of exams. Otherwise I don't think it is a conflict

If the registrar said it'a not a conflict, they really mean it.
The only way you can miss that exam without penalty is by submitting a doctor's note.
But be very careful -- it might appear very suspicious if you write one but miss the other one on the same day.
If it's water then the exam is really easy so i recommend that you just write it |

Tentative Exam timetables were released back in early November. The fact that you didnt schedule your time to plan for these two days is completely on you. No sympathy from me, and likewise im glad the registrar didnt show any either. Instead of looking for ways out of a completely reasonable situation, why not plan accordingly for it? Good luck failing your exam tonight |

That was a bit uncalled for.
OP, it's okay, just learn a lesson from this.
For future reference, the main things that are considered conflicts are either having 2 exams scheduled at the exact same time, or 3 exams within a 24-hour period.
Hopefully you have better luck with the exam timetable next semester.

Maybe OP did plan for those two days, but things just didn't fall into place, that's a tough situation to be in, and it wouldn't be easy to pull off for the majority of students.
And wishing OP good luck to fail their exam is a bit much, they just wanted to know whether they could defer it or not, the answer is no, no need to bring up a comment of OP failing his exam and being a douche about it.
To the OP: I believe that you can pass all of them, just try your best and do not be discouraged, best of luck! |
