Examinations are normally held at the end of a semester/term. RPg students should refer to the Academic Calendar available at https://www.polyu.edu.hk/ar/students/AC.pdf for the examination periods.
- Examination timetable
The examination timetable will normally be available about six weeks before the examination period.
The examination timetable of individual students will be accessible via eStudent (for students admitted from the 2018/19 cohort onwards) or the Research Student Portal (for students admitted in or before the 2017/18 cohort).
If any examination that an RPg student should take is not included in the examination timetable, he/she should contact his/her respective department immediately to rectify his/her record. - Absent from examination
If an RPg student has been absent from an examination because of illness, injury or other unforeseeable reasons, he/she may apply for a late assessment. Permission is subject to the approval of the SARP. Application in writing accompanied by any supporting documents such as a medical certificate should be submitted to the HoD/DoS offering the subject within five days of the date of the examination.
In case the RPg student is permitted to take a late assessment, that examination or other forms of assessment as decided by the SARP will be regarded as a first assessment and the actual grade attained will be awarded. - Announcement of examination results
After the finalisation of the examination results by the authorities, RPg students may check their semester examination results via eStudent (for students admitted from the 2018/19 cohort onwards) or the Research Student Portal (for students admitted in or before the 2017/18 cohort).
