General ACCAsickness - not attending the exam

Fees is not refundable due to any reason of students.

You 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)

Yep 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

He wanted to charge you for the note!!!???
astonishing!
is not it part of his job!?

Yes 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!

Is there anybody who can tell me that where can I send the medical certificate for not attaining the exam???

can 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?

I 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!

when do i have to send the medical certificate after the exams or before the date of exams i am going to sit?

I am having diahorea on d day of my exam not able to attend. Anyone knows can I send my medical certificate to acca and ask for trf to next exam sitting? Does acca accept if I send in d request on d date of d exam?

Good 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 Thanks

What did the doctor write in the letter? What were the words?

Hi 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.

acca 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.

For all of the above, we cannot really give advice - the only way to find out is to email the ACCA on [email protected] As others have said, they never refund fees but under certain circumstances they will carry forward to money to the next exam session.

Hello. 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.

You should send an email to students@accaglobal.com with all your supporting evidence. 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 valid

Hello everybody! Could you please advise if virus infection with a temperature 39 is a reasanoble circumstance and fees can be credited to my account in this case? I am not happy to take an exam with a temperature 39... I will be so happy if anybody will reply in the nearest days so I will know what decision to take!

I had acute sinusitis and upper respiratory tract infection for the June 2015 sitting. 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...

Only hospitalization is acceptible...

What reason did dey give for not refunding you the money?

I am ill and dnt think will be able to give exam. Will bed rest be considered by ACCA

Will acca accept if we have viral fever and not able to attend the exam?

Hi will ACCA accept on canceling my sept session as I have tested positive for corona? if so what are the supporting documents required

@nisarga.sujay - See the section "What happens if I enter an exam and then can no longer take it?" on this page https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/help/exam-sessions.html

Hi, could you tell me the reason which was specified in your medical note?
