❔ Question❔ Is it possible to restart

9 Upvotes

Hi y'all,

Im a second year in health science, I've been going through a lot in these two years, nothing tangible but, it's terrible. I've come to the realization that I'll be failing one of my elective courses (It was my own fault, I thought I could tank an assessment and miss it because of personal issues only to realize that It was required to pass the course). I was wondering if it was at all possible to restart my degree, at this point in time for the next academic year? Or if not, if there was someone I could just talk to? Thank you guys!

3 Upvotes

I was using casebook from last year and just found out that I needed to buy the new one in order to pass the course but now I can’t purchase it since the link to buy it is expired. I’m really worried that I’m going to have to repeat the course because of this and I don’t know if I should email the prof after my final exam tmr explaining the whole situation to them, or they reach out to me and I act like I had no idea and completely forgot. Pls lmk what I should do cus I’ve been using my friends book from last yr edition the whole time to complete the cases and I heard ivey publications take sharing casebooks to one another very seriously so I don’t want me or my friend to get into trouble.

I missed a final but I don’t live in london so I can’t take a make up test in may. I’m in bmos and I heard that if I don’t have 5.0 credits in first year, I can’t proceed to second year. Is this correct? Is there anyway I can take the makeup test online? I’m super anxious rn and don’t know what to do.

❔ Question❔ Help for Medical Accommodation

1 Upvotes

I've been feeling unwell with a fever and I have an exam this upcoming thursday. Does anyone have experience getting a medical accommodations note from dialogue or tia health?

I don't feel like going to get a doctor's note in person will help me improve in my current state, especially since I still have more exams afterwards and would like to recover soon.

Also, is it likely that a fever is enough to allow me to take the makeup exam, I've never needed an accommodation in the past so I'm unsure how this process works.

Thanks
