When completing courses online, it is important we have an up-to-date mailing address on file. This information is vital so we can coordinate your exams and ensure you receive relevant correspondence by mail.

If you update your online learning or permanent address after the first week of classes, you must also submit the Examination Site Change Form. The fee will only apply if your exam information has been released in Memorial Self-Service.

If you have not already done so, please update your mailing address as soon as possible by logging on to Memorial Self Service. (Note: first-time users may be required to set up a PIN.)

Steps after logging into Self-Service:

1. The Student Main Menu is typically at the bottom of the screen beneath the Self-Service notifications. Click on Personal Information.
2. Under the Personal Information menu, click Update Addresses and Phones.
3. Under Update Addresses and Phones, you may see a list of several addresses, e.g. Permanent or Next of Kin. You will need to update or create a listing for your Online Learning address. You can update by clicking on the existing address and updating the form. If an entry does not already exist, you will need to add it at the bottom, next to Type of Address to Insert.

Please note that we are not responsible for any issued related to incorrect addresses.

All students with a disability are encouraged to contact the Glenn Roy Blundon Centre. This includes online students.

The Blundon Centre assists students with disabilities who seek academic accommodation (e.g. extended time for tests and exams). Students are encouraged to contact the Blundon Centre at least six weeks prior to the start of a course to discuss your needs.

Assistive Technologies

The Commons in the QEII Library on the St. John's Campus also offers a variety of assistive technology software, hardware and support services that aim to help students achieve their full academic potential.

Four designated assistive technology stations are available in the Assistive Technology Room (L-2001), the Digital Media Centre and the Commons Classroom. One-on-one tutorials with peer assistive technology tutors are also available.

All students at Memorial, including online students, have a responsibility to know which actions are considered academic offences.

Please review the university's procedures and penalities for academic misconduct as outlined in the university calendar. Students may also access this academic integrity resource for further information.

Students living outside Newfoundland and Labrador:

• Must complete an Examination Supervisor Form every semester
• Deadline: before the end of the first week of lectures.

Students living in Newfoundland and Labrador who are not doing a course on any of Memorial's campuses (St. John's Campus, Marine Institute, Grenfell Campus):

• Will be set up to write exams at one of the established provincial exam sites based on the Online Learning address you completed in Memorial Self-Service.
• Please ensure your postal code is formatted correctly (i.e. A0A 0A0) and updated in Self-Service. You are assigned to your exam site based on this information.

If you are unable to write an exam at your regularly scheduled exam site:

• Apply to write it at an alternate site by completing the Change of Exam Site Form.

Notes:

• The above information applies only to exams. Many assignments may be submitted directly to your instructor via Brightspace (D2L) throughout the semester.
• All students require a Campus Card to write an exam. To request a Campus Card, go to my.mun.ca and log in with your MUN login credentials. Submit your request through the Campus Card Request item found on the Student Services tab. Please ensure to include your mailing address so your card can be sent in the mail.
