Flooding leads to exam exemptions at Bishop's University

The end of the school year means many students are itching to get away from the books. Many already have travel plans or jobs waiting for them to help them pay for the year ahead. But this year, many final exams at Bishop's University were postponed last week due to flooding, causing concern for students. (Photo left shows flooding on April 16th, from Bishop's Facebook page)

An online petition was launched asking the university to allow students to opt-out of final exams altogether. Our Townships reporter Alison Brunette has been speaking with students at Bishop's.
