Cheer up OP! Even though you probably just failed a course, at least you can sleep well at night knowing that McMaster actually taught you something. A valuable life lesson to not be a fking idiot who tries to coast through life.
Normally no, unless you had it arranged beforehand with the professor or the faculty.
Once you get your final mark, you can have it petitioned to be removed from your transcript. I believe this is very lengthy and usually doesn't work in the student's favour.
It would be best to talk to an academic advisor and see what your options are. They will know better than anyone else.
wait really? how may I go about doing this?

hey "alex", at least change your name so we won't know it was you who posted about deferring an exam.
With all due respect, I think you are taking advantage of the system.

"fever"
hmmm i hear the only cure to your fever is more cowbell.
"I am just not ready for it, don't want to risk my final mark... and I had deferred quite a lot in the past, so not sure if it's ok if I defer more"
