Bad weather notice
Please note that as the ACCA Professional / MSER / DipFM / DipIFR / CAT / MBA examinations are worldwide examinations, cancellation or postponement of an examination is a very serious matter, any decision to do so will be made only when it is absolutely necessary.
If weather conditions are doubtful (such as the possible hoisting of a No. 8 Typhoon Signal or the issue of the Rainstorm Red or Black Warning), all registered students should listen to the radio or television broadcasting stations for examination scheduled by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) right up to the time they leave for the examination centre. It is important that all registered students should note the following points:
- where possible, the HKEAA's announcement of the postponement/cancellation of an examination will be made at least two hours before the commencement of the examination;
- the announcement of closure of schools due to a tropical cyclone or bad weather does not necessarily imply the postponement/cancellation of an examination scheduled to be held that day;
- if HKEAA announces that all public examinations conducted by the HKEAA for the afternoon session are cancelled, it means the ACCA Professional/MSER / DipFM / DipIFR / CAT / MBA examination will also be cancelled; and
- once an examination session has started, it will continue for the full allotted time unless physical conditions in the examination room are considered to be dangerous by the Centre Supervisor.
Please note that if an examination has to be cancelled / postponed, the Association will advise students directly regarding the possibility of rescheduling the examination.
