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. If you cannot write the special examination at either campus, one of the following approved Canadian examination locations below may be chosen as an alternate location. However, Lakehead reserves the right to require that the exam be written at one of our campuses.
