Inclement Weather/Exam Cancellations
In the event of inclement weather, students should refer to myTrent for updates.
Q: (student) If exams are not cancelled, but I cannot safely drive to campus, or I am late due to transportation delays, what should I do?
A: Contact your instructor to make alternative arrangements. Students are advised to leave plenty of extra time to drive to campus for exams, especially during inclement weather.
Q: (student) Will cancelled exams be rescheduled?
A: Cancelled exams will be rescheduled to the last day of the exam period. Students should not plan to travel prior to the end of the exam period.
Q: (employee) If exams are cancelled, do I have to come to/stay at work?
A: Yes, unless advised otherwise by your supervisor due to safety considerations. It is your responsibility to contact your supervisor.
Q: (invigilator/instructor) What are my responsibilities if exams are cancelled or the university is closed during an exam?
A: If the university is closed due to inclement weather that results in buses being cancelled and travel advisories issued by the OPP while an exam is underway, instructors or invigilators are responsible to bring to the attention of students the location of emergency transportation and/or accommodations provided by the university, which will be broadcast via the Emergency Communication System. If the university is closed due to any other reason, instructors or invigilators are to follow the directions broadcast via the Emergency Communication System and provide that information to their students.
