I am planning on using an MSAF for an assignment that is due during exams. On the MSAF website it says that MSAFs cannot be used during exams, so I just wanted to see if anyone could clarify whether that means that MSAFs cannot be used for exams, or that no MSAFs can be filled out during the exam period? Is the form taken down from the website during exams? Any information is appreciated seeing as how I have never used an MSAF before. Thank you, in advance!

If the assignment is worth less than 30% then you can use the MSAF on the assignment. Also, on McMaster's website it states that "The MSAF on-line, self-reporting tool cannot be used to apply for relief for any final examination or its equivalent." So, I assume you should be able to use the MSAF as it can still be filled out during the exam period, just not on exams. Just google MSAF and fill out the form. Never mind, guess I was wrong.

I remember last year I got sick right before exams and wanted to MSAF some stupid 5% assignment that was due in the technical "exam period". That way I could recover and focus on exams. I was unable to MSAF it so I took a zero.
