From Your Inbox: Midterm FAQs & Resources

This message was originally sent to DAP students by email on January 30, 2026. We’re sharing it here for easy reference.

Dear DAP Students, 

We hope you are off to a good start this term! This message includes information about your midterm schedule, academic concession policy, and academic integrity during exams. All exams follow UBC policies and regulations—make sure you are prepared and understand your responsibilities before you write your exam.        

  • When are my midterms?     
  • What should I do if I am unable to write my midterm?    
  • What do I need to know about Academic Integrity?    
  • Are there other recommendations I should follow?    
  • Where can I find mental health and wellness supports?    

When are my midterms?     
Review your course outlines for midterm times and locations. If you are unclear about the exam arrangements for your course, contact your instructor as soon as possible.     
 
What should I do if I am unable to write my midterm?     
If you are unable to write an exam due to circumstances that are included in the UBC Academic Concession policy, you may be eligible to submit a petition for an academic concession.       

  1. Consult your course syllabus for any instructions provided by your instructor.  
  2. Review information on submitting a petition for an academic concession at https://blogs.ubc.ca/myubcdap/success/responsibilities/#section-1
  3. Submit your petition to OSAS by filling out the form on https://professional.sauder.ubc.ca/dap/students/academic-concession.cfm . You are expected to submit your petition as soon as possible and within 48 hours of the missed midterm.    

What do I need to know about academic integrity?     
All DAP exams start with an Integrity Pledge. Academic integrity will be enforced in all exams. By writing a UBC exam, you agree to adhere to the University’s standards for academic honesty. It is your responsibility to review and abide by the rules described in the following sources:       

Suspected instances of academic misconduct will be thoroughly investigated and are subject to disciplinary measures. More information about the academic integrity practices, procedures, and resources to support students at UBC Sauder can be found in the Student Academic Integrity Handbook.       
    
Are there other recommendations I should follow?      

  • Get to your midterm exam early!    
  • Bring your digital or physical UBC card to your midterm.    
  • Double-check the course syllabus or ask your instructor what items are allowed in the midterm.     
  • If you are writing exams on Canvas, do the Online Exam Tech Check (https://canvas.ubc.ca/enroll/RK33KJ).    
  • Read all instructions and questions carefully.     
  • Keep track of the time and don’t forget to submit the exam when finished.     
  • If you sit your exam, you are no longer eligible to defer it or to submit a petition for academic concession for it. You will not be given another opportunity to increase your mark. Review the academic concession policy for details.    

Where can I find mental health and wellness supports?     
In addition to studying, maintaining your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing is essential to achieving success. We encourage you to take advantage of the many resources available at students.ubc.ca/health.  
      
Questions?     
If you have any questions, OSAS is here to help! Please visit Program Advising – myUBCDAP for more information on how to connect. For more in-depth planning, we encourage you to book an online appointment (virtual and in-person appointments are available). 
 
Good luck on your midterms!
