At the beginning of each term, ISG hold exam viewing sessions for ISG-supported courseswhere students may view their exams from the previous term.
If your course is not supported by ISG, you must contact the course instructor directly to view your exam.
Our final exams are primarily diagnostic tools for evaluating how well the course material was learned and understood. Final exams are not intended as learning tools. As such,solutions are not providedfor exam viewing.
Exam viewing rules
- Bring your WatCard (preferable) or other photo ID.
- There is no registration required for exam viewing; it is done on a first-come first-serve basis.
- Only a few studentswill be allowed to view their exam at a time; you may have to wait.
- The viewing time may be limited to up to 15 minutes for each student if necessary for accommodating the volume of requests.
- You may view your own exam(s) only. You may not discuss your exam grade or solutions with another student during the exam viewing.
- You may not reference course materials or notes during the exam viewing.
- You may not copy/take pictures of the exam or any parts thereof, including your solutions during the viewing.
- Scrap paper may be provided upon request but this paper must not leave the room.

Accommodation for co-op students
If you are unable to view your exam the term right after it was written (e.g. are out of the KW regionfor co-op), you are able to view your exam in the next two terms (within a year of writing the exam).
To do so, you must contact the appropriateInstructional Support Coordinator (ISC)within a month of the final exam with the following information:
- your student information (student ID number, WATIAM, etc.)
- why you are unable to attend exam viewing at the beginning of the next term
- which future term you intendto view your exam
If you do not contact the ISC within a month of the exam as above, you can view your exam within a year but cannot submit a remark request; your grade will not be changed. When you attend the exam viewing session, indicate to the proctor that you will be viewing a course from a different term.
Exam remark requests
Remark request forms are provided at the viewing for the purposes of appealing the marking of questions. When submitting a remark request, you are agreeing to the following conditions.
- Specific questions and reasoning for the request must be given on the form – stating “I want this question re-marked” is insufficient for your request to be considered.
- As mentioned in the rules, you may not reference course notes or online materials during the viewing.Arguments to support your remark request must come from yourknowledge of the course content.
- The instructor/marker may examine questions other than those reported to make sure there are no other marking errors.
- A remarked exam may result in a higher grade, a lower grade, or have no overall change.
Note that it may take anywhere between a few days and a few weeks to process a remark request. The ISC/instructor will contact you directly when changes are made to your grade.If you have additional questions after receiving the re-mark result please refer to Policy 70.
