Exams
Final exams are held at the end of each academic term in December, April, and August. Make sure that you're familiar with dates and policies before exams start.
- View start and end dates for the official exam periods in the academic calendar.
- Make sure you're up to date on UVic's exam policies and the policy on academic integrity.
Detailed schedules are published in advance of each exam period, indicating the dates, times and locations of your exams.
Reviewing your exams
Due to COVID-19, exam viewing is closed until further notice. Please contact your course instructors if you have questions about your marked exams from Spring 2020, Summer 2020, Fall 2020 and Spring 2021.
Grades
Instructors are required to submit grades within seven (7) days of the last activity of the course:
- the last day of classes (if there are no final assignments or exams)
- the due date for your last assignment (if it is due after the last day of classes)
- the date of your final exam
Contact your instructor if this time period has passed and your grade has not yet appeared on your academic record.
You can find the percentage grade, the corresponding letter grade and comparative grading information on your official and administrative transcripts.
Requesting a grade review
If you don't agree with your grade, discuss it with your instructor first. If you still believe you should receive a higher grade, you may request a formal grade review. This is only a review. It does not guarantee that your grade will improve.
To request a formal grade review, you need to fill out a Request for Review of Assigned Final Grade form. There is a $25.00 per course charge for a formal review. If the grade goes up, you'll receive a refund.
Grade point average (GPA)
Your grade point average (GPA) is an average of points you've achieved based on your performance in your courses. We calculate it for:
- one session
- your whole degree
- for graduation
Each GPA calculation is used for different decisions.
