(D) Absence from Examinations

In case you need to apply for absence from examination of a course due to extenuating circumstances, please

submit your application to the College Office in writing by filling in the form Absence from Examination(s),

which can be downloaded from Learner Portal under the tab “My resources”, together with relevant

supporting documents within 5 working days after the examination date of that course (excluding

Saturdays, Sundays, Public Holidays and School Holidays. Please refer to Appendix II for the application

deadline). Late applications will not be considered. A non-refundable application fee of HK$300 per

course will be charged. In case of sickness, the College will ONLY accept medical certificates issued by

registered doctors (註冊西醫) or Chinese medicine practitioners (註冊中醫)2. The date(s) of sick leave

granted should include the examination date(s) of the course(s) concerned. Your application of make-up

examinations will be considered by the College’s Board of Examiners whose decision is final. For courses

offered by the HKU Faculty of Science (“the Faculty”), your application for make-up examinations will be

considered by both the College’s Board of Examiners and the Faculty. If your application is approved, you

will be notified of the make-up examination arrangement in due course. Otherwise, you may receive a "Fail"

grade for the course.

Please note that with effect from Semester 1, 2016/17 academic year, students will only be permitted to

take the make-up examination of the same course ONCE during the registration of their respective

programmes. No further arrangement would be made for students who are absent from the approved

make-up examinations of the same course for twice. They would receive a “Fail” grade for the course

concerned and be required to repeat the failed course as appropriate in the next available semester.

2 Medical certificate issued by listed Chinese medicine practitioners (表列中醫) will NOT be accepted. The list of registered

Chinese medicine practitioners can be obtained from the website of Chinese Medicine Council of Hong Kong

(http://www.cmchk.org.hk/). According to the Reference Guide on Issuance of Sick Leave Certificate by Registered Chinese

Medicine Practitioners (http://www.cmchk.org.hk/cmp/eng/#main_public05.htm), the medical certificates should include the full

name and the HKID number of the patient as well as the name and registration number of the attending practitioner. Thus, when you

submit a medical certificate issued by a registered Chinese medicine practitioner, please ensure that your HKID number is printed on

the certificate.
