Currently during this covid-19 outbreak many students are uncertain and scared as to what is going to occur academic wise this term. Given this, UTSG decided to implement a policy aligned with the Faculty’s response in 2015 to the CUPE 3902 strike, which prevented the continuation of in-person exams, similar to the current cov-19 situation. During this cov-19 situation, UTSG has decided to extend the CR/NCR deadline to after final grades have been released. 

UTM students are also going through these same struggles UTSG students are going through, and it is fair to say that these changes should apply to all students undergoing these hard times.

Currently, UTM students only have an extension until April 22th. While they appreciate this change, they believe it is unfair to allow utsg to CR/NCR all courses even after they receive their marks and for this not to also apply to utm students. 

UTM students are petitioning for UTM to follow these changes that have been implemented for utsg students and apply them to utm students as well. They are asking for the following:

1) Extend the CR/NCR deadline until after we receive our marks
