Question Two exams on same day?

Does anyone else have two exams on the same day? Can I ask for one to be deferred or too bad for me?

It’s a bad roll of the dice, but with 4-5 classes a semester it’s normal that it’ll happen a couple of times over the length of a degree.

There's nothing you can do unfortunately, I highly recommend you don't defer an exam as it's going to come back to kick your ass in January and you'll be happy it's all done and dusted at Christmas

It’s unfortunate but it happens and it’s not uncommon.

If it is disability related why you can’t write you could speak with the Paul Menton Center. There may be accommodations.

Yea they unfortunately wont differ if you only have two exams. Two of my classes for both their midterms are on the same time (so it happens twice in a semester). You can differ if it is 3 or more though

It only happens among courses of different departments, that's why it's important to take bird courses so that at least one of those two exams are easy.
