The University of Victoria says it will no longer be holding in-person exams this year to reduce COVID-19 risks.
School officials issued a statement asking teachers to adjust their exam plans to offer assessments online or in another format starting today.
They are also asking students to avoid campus if they feel sick or test positive for the virus, saying ``timely academic consideration'' will be given if a student becomes too sick to complete their schoolwork.
The university says the decision was made after consulting with public health experts at Island Health.
