Hello Western Students,

If you, like me, are a student with a disability and you received the email from Accommodated Exams (copied below) saying that accommodated exams may start earlier than regular exams, and are concerned by the fact that your start time could change on the day of your exam, please let us know how you feel so we can elevate your voices to administration about this important issue. We, the Accessibility Committee, are here to advocate for you.

Please take this quick survey to let the administration know how you feel about this important issue: https://uwo.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bPptlfJI6RZmkUS

Dear student,

Please see below for important reminders and information regarding in-person December finals with Accommodated Exams.

There is a high likelihood you will be scheduled to start writing earlier than the class start time.

- Morning and afternoon exams may be booked up to an hour earlier
- Evening exams are scheduled to finish by 10:00pm (22:00)
- Start times are listed in 24-hour time
