Apply to Write a Special Exam

If you decide to apply to write a Special Exam, you are encouraged to thoroughly review the criteria for Special Exams and the regulations to see if you may qualify.

How to Apply

To apply for a Special Exam, complete the Special Exam Request Form and return it to studentcentral@lakeheadu.ca on or before the deadline. Please ensure you are adhering to the deadline dates to ensure you will be considered.

You will be notified by your Lakehead email if you are approved to write a Special Exam for the course(s) in which you meet the criteria and regulations for your program/faculty.  

Special Exam Location

As part of your request, you will also need to indicate where you plan to write the Special Exam should you be approved. The exam locations are either the Thunder Bay or Orillia campus (Barrie Campus is only for joint Lakehead University/Georgian College programming).  Lakehead reserves the right to require that the exam be written at the campus location of the original course.
