Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding. We know the exam period is already a challenging time for students, and that many students and instructors have experienced disruption due to the rescheduling of exams this week. Our decisions have been aimed at minimizing disruption while taking into account access and safety concerns. We appreciate our students making the needed adjustments. Thank you also to the staff working diligently to clear pathways, parking lots and Ring Road."
