Hi everybody,
I would like to ask, if anyone have some experience with cancelling the exam because of illness? I got boreliosis and I eat antibiotics every day since last Friday. I am not able to learn anything, so I would like to cancel the exam. Of course I have confirmation about it from my doctor. Would I lose the paid money or can I somehow apologise from the exam? Thank you.June 10, 2010 at 5:38 am #63708Fees is not refundable due to any reason of students.
June 10, 2010 at 7:07 am #63709You will not get your money back,
But if you send to the ACCA notice from the doctor, your exam fee will be transferred to next examination session (December)June 10, 2010 at 10:20 am #63710Yep I’ve had experience of this last sitting. The doctor was going to charge me £30 for the note but I explained to him that the purpose of the note is so I don’t have to lose money on the exams and he let me have it for free 🙂
This is the reply I got back from ACCA
Thank you for your recent correspondence and documentary evidence relating to your entry for the December examinations.
I am sorry to hear of the exceptional circumstances resulting in your absence from the above examinations. Although it is not current ACCA policy to permit a student to withdraw an examination entry once it has been submitted, on this occasion, I have arranged to have the entry fees paid for this session credited to your account for your future use.
Please note that you will not automatically be entered for the June examinations. Examination entry forms will be sent to all eligible students in February and should be returned prior to the closing date for receipt of applications in order to be considered.
I trust this meets with your approval.
Yours sincerely
June 10, 2010 at 10:26 am #63711He wanted to charge you for the note!!!???
astonishing!
is not it part of his job!?June 10, 2010 at 4:41 pm #63712Yes very shocking. But apparently a lot of general practioners charge for a note in the UK these days. All he did was print out a template, write my name, date and my condition and signed it. I wasn’t going to pay for that!
May 29, 2012 at 6:55 pm #63713Is there anybody who can tell me that where can I send the medical certificate for not attaining the exam???
December 5, 2013 at 6:08 pm #150758can i send medicical certificate for not attending my last exam because i have a road accident therefor i can not reach for exam..can i get a support form acca to transfer my fee to next session and what certification will b needed to send acca?
December 13, 2013 at 9:27 am #152811I dont think a road accident on the way to the exam is going to do it. If your accident had been b4 the exam and you were in hospitle or had a broken arm then you may b lucky
i think!
June 4, 2014 at 5:57 pm #173862when do i have to send the medical certificate after the exams or before the date of exams i am going to sit?

June 9, 2014 at 6:43 pm #175514Good Afternoon,
Today I have missed my ACCA exam because M4 was partly closed due to double fatality accident near Chippenham, Wiltshire. Was stuck there for 3 hours.
Is it any chance I can resit it free of charge in December ?
Many ThanksJune 15, 2014 at 5:51 pm #176659What did the doctor write in the letter?
What were the words?
November 6, 2014 at 3:26 pm #208010Hi opentuition! My friend got chicken pox two days back and she is planning on not writing the exam(F5) this december. Would the myacca account be credited with the amount paid for F5 to the next june session?
If so, would she be able to attempt any other paper for the june session, say F7?? or should she write F5 itself?
Kindly respond, ASAP if possible. Thankyou so much.June 6, 2015 at 9:43 am #254418acca wouldnt do any refunds unless it’s serious illnesses. so even if you give them some mc or some doctors’ letters, if it’s not serious illnesses, they wouldnt refund you the fees no matter what. pretty strict on that.
suggest you try to take the paper no matter what, or just forfeit the fees.
June 6, 2015 at 4:08 pm #254535For all of the above, we cannot really give advice – the only way to find out is to email the ACCA on students@accaglobal.com
As others have said, they never refund fees but under certain circumstances they will carry forward to money to the next exam session.
September 12, 2015 at 8:41 am #271457Hello. Please can i get a refund of my exam fees once the exam has already taken place. I was down with a severe malaria two days to the exam and i was hospitalised and so i was unable to write the exam.

They are not unreasonable and will take all your information in to account.
The reply from acca that you can read above is a standard reply to any request if they accept your reason is validDecember 6, 2015 at 11:23 am #288177Hello everybody!

I was out for a week and submitted my medical certificates from the doctor and corresponded with ACCA, but all for nothing. They did not accept my medical reason so I had to pay again…
