Senate eliminates Exam Period; approves extension of semester

PRINCE GEORGE – The motion was made and approved to eliminate the Exam Period for the fall semester at UNBC following three weeks of the Faculty Association being on strike.

A special meeting of UNBC’s Senate got underway on campus Monday afternoon as they looked to address concerns associated with the remaining time in the semester.

The initial final day of the semester was set to be Dec. 3rd but after over three weeks of picketing by the UNBC Faculty, the extension has been approved to have the semester go until December 13th.

The motion also allows flexibility to finalize the courses needing to be completed.
