 Make-up Examinations

 

A student who misses an examination because of extenuating circumstances such as illness, injury or other personal emergencies may apply in writing to the Taught Postgraduate Studies Section for a make-up examination by using the Application Form for Make-up Examination. Applications should be supported by relevant proofs and made within five working days after the missed examination.

 

If the absence is due to illness or injury, the application should include the Form of a Medical Certificate completed by a qualified medical practitioner certifying that the student is unfit for the examination and a medical certificate recommending the student to take sick leave on the date of the missed examination.

 

When students apply to the Taught Postgraduate Studies Section for make-up examinations, the following situations would normally not be considered:

 

  1. elective surgery scheduled to be held on the examination day; or
  2. attending public examinations such as TOEFL, SAT, GRE, GMAT, etc. held on the examination day; or
  3. having forgotten or misread the examination schedule.

If the application is approved, a make-up examination will be arranged by the Academic Registry within six weeks after the examination period. The course instructor will set a new examination question paper for the make-up examination. The relevant Department/Programme will decide if the grades for the make-up examinations should be downgraded.

 

A student who is absent from an examination and does not apply for a make-up examination or whose application is disapproved, will receive zero mark for that examination.
No further arrangements would be made for students who are absent from the approved make-up examinations.

 

Remarks

  • The procedures and arrangements shown below are only applicable to face-to-face examinations arranged by the Academic Registry. 
  • For examinations arranged by academic departments and online examinations, if students wish to apply for make-up examination(s), please contact the course instructor and/or programme office directly.
