CTV
The University of Victoria is cancelling in-person exams amid rising COVID-19 cases on campus.
The university announced in a statement Sunday that it would be "adjusting" its examinations for the remainder of the December 2021 exam period, effective Monday.
"To reduce the frequency and number of students sitting together for extended periods of time in examination gyms and rooms, we will not be holding further in-person exams and we are asking instructors to offer their assessments online or in another format," the statement reads.
"We know this is short notice for those with exams scheduled for Monday, and we are reaching out to instructors with guidance to make this transition as smooth as possible."
