Failure to Write an Examination
A student who misses a scheduled examination must
meet the conditions of the Medical or Personal Emergency Policy to be considered
eligible for rescheduling. The request for rescheduling must include supporting
documentation, for example, medical documentation, and it must be submitted
within five business days
of the missed exam.
Medical or Personal Emergency Policy
HRPA considers an emergency to be an unplanned
medical or personal event that arises within 48 hours of the scheduled exam and
prevents the candidate from taking the exam. If you encounter a medical or
personal emergency and choose to write the exam anyway; even if you do not
complete the exam, you will be deemed to have written the exam. In other words,
if you are present during the examination when the exam begins, you will be
deemed to have written the exam. No exam rewrite can be offered.
A medical or personal emergency may apply to
candidates themselves or to a member of the candidate's immediate family
(spouse, child or parent). Candidates are expected to request to reschedule
their exam if they are aware of a medical or personal event that can be
anticipated will occur on or near the exam date. Medical and personal events
that can be anticipated are not considered emergencies. Inability to take the
exam due to work load or work conflicts, or inability to properly prepare for
the exam, is not considered an emergency. Medical or personal emergency requests
must be made by e-mail to Thomas Callitsis at
TCallitsis@hrpa.ca within five business days of the missed exam and must
include a description of the situation as well as documentation of the emergency
or extenuating circumstance. Requests to reschedule because of a medical or
personal emergency are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Candidates will be
notified by e-mail of the outcome of their request.
Special Accommodation Requests for
Examinations
Accommodations for disabilities
It is HRPA's policy to provide reasonable testing accommodations for candidates
with documented disabilities. Reasonable accommodation refers to any adjustment
to the examination materials or testing environment that permits a qualified
applicant with a disability to perform, without undue hardship to the
institution providing accommodation. Documented disabilities are those for which
there is a diagnosis by a qualified professional.
The purpose of accommodations is to provide equity,
not advantage. Any requested modification that would substantially alter
essential elements of the examination will not be granted. As a general
principle, it is desirable to retain as much of the original examination
materials and testing environment as possible, and make the accommodations
specific to the disability or disabilities in question.
HRPA's Accommodation Policy is available on HRPA website, in the Regulation
and HR Designations section.
The request for accommodation must be made by e-mail
to Thomas Callitsis at
TCallitsis@hrpa.ca at
least 20 days prior to the beginning of the final examination period.
Technical Difficulties During Final
Examination
Loss of Internet connection during a final exam
resulting in the non-completion of the exam can be remedied by allowing
additional time subsequently to complete the exam or, in the case of relatively
little of the exam being written, by providing an alternate exam to be written
promptly.
