Our Exam Centre provides a distraction and barrier free space to registered SAS students who are in need of testing accommodations. If you have test accommodations approved for the current semester, and you want to apply them to an in-person quiz, test or exam, you must book with the Exam Centre. Please review all booking deadlines.
During final exams, some exams may be administered in alternative locations. Students should monitor their UofG email for details close to the exam date.

Important Test Centre Information
- Students are responsible for booking all tests and exams before the deadline
- In order to write in the Exam Centre on campus, students must make a booking request at least 10 days in advance, and no later than March 1 (Winter), July 1 (Summer) or November 1 (Fall)
- Students must also make requests for every test/exam by requesting accommodations. Students who do not request test/exam dates before the deadline, will be asked to write with the class.
- To make a booking, you’ll need to know the date and start time, as per your course outline.
- Please remember to bring everything you need: pen, pencil, eraser, calculator, headphones (if approved as an accommodation)
- The Exam Centre follows the Undergraduate Degree/Diploma Regulations and Procedures for Examinations as outlined in the Diploma Calendar.
- Students will be requested to present their student card and sign-in each time they write a test/exam.
- Students will be asked to leave all personal belongings outside the Exam Centre (please bring a lock to secure your items in the lockers). No unauthorized material will be granted in the room.
- Please arrive early for your scheduled test/exam. At no time will a student be granted to start their test before the scheduled time.
- If a student arrives late for their scheduled test/exam, the time will not be extended. As a result, the student will forfeit that time.
- If you are sick or unable to attend your scheduled test/exam, you are required to notify your course instructor and RCSAS@uoguelph.ca.
- If you do not show up to your scheduled test/exam and do not notify RCSAS@uoguelph.ca, there will be a $20.00 fee charged to your student account.
In the case of inclement weather, all tests booked in the SAS Exam Centre will be rescheduled to a later date and in consultation with the course instructor. Watch for an email from RCSAS@uoguelph.ca for updates.
Under what circumstances can I change the time of my exam?
If you require a change in the exam time due to disability, contact your advisor (rcsas@uoguelph.ca) early in the semester. Changes to exam times must be supported by disability documentation and must be approved by your instructor by the exam booking deadline. It is a student’s responsibility to make this request to their SAS advisor and instructor in time to meet the deadline.
How do I know that I’ve booked my exam properly?
When you’ve booked a test, you can view it in the SAS portal under "Quizzes, Tests and Exams". Check that the date and time are correct prior to the booking deadline. You can also modify or cancel your booking via the portal.
When will I be writing?
You can check the "Quizzes, Tests and Exams" tab in the SAS portal for the time and date of all tests you have booked with the Exam Centre. Students are expected to write at the same start time as the class, and extra time is usually added to the end of your writing time.
If adding time would extend your exam past 4:30PM, your extra time will be added to the beginning of your writing time, and you will start writing earlier than the rest of your class. The SAS Portal automatically recognizes your additional time accommodation at booking, therefore if you have a 4:00PM test, you will need to book it for 2:00PM.
What if my extra time conflicts with a lab or another midterm?
You need your instructor’s permission by the test booking deadline to write at a different start time or different day than the class.
