Last year, APUS launched the “Don’t Invoice Our Illness”, calling on faculties and academic units at U of T to remove barriers to deferred examinations in the case of student illness. At present, students across the university are regularly charged substantial sums, and required to wait many months, simply to be eligible to retake an exam that they missed due to illness. Since then, our research has shown that charging fees for deferred exams is both unfair and unsafe.
We’ve just published our lobby document detailing the case for the removal of deferred exam fees, and will be presenting this document to UofT decision-makers, as we prepare to propose a policy change to faculties. Read our lobby document here.
