CPA Program professional level exams are conducted at the end of the semester. Refer to Exam format for further details of the duration and structure of the exams.
Enrolment in a professional level segment includes automatic enrolment in the exam conducted in the semester of enrolment, with the exception of enrolments for reference purposes.
Exam dates are advertised on the fees and important dates page in advance of the semester. Alternative exam dates are not available. This is due to the secure nature of the exam process and the large number of exams that are conducted throughout the world each semester.
If the advertised dates are unsuitable, you should delay your enrolment to a future semester. If your personal circumstances change after you have enrolled in a segment due to a medical ailment, business trip, heavy workload, clash with another exam, or misreading the exam information supplied, you may be eligible to defer the exam, cancel your enrolment in the segment, or sit the exam and apply for special consideration.
Each semester, personalised exam notification letters are mailed to candidates to confirm the location and time of the professional level exams.
Enclosed with the letter is information about exam regulations and the structure of the exam papers.
You should receive your exam notification letter by the date shown in the important dates.
If you have not received notification by the appropriate date, contact the Business Services Group, Deakin University.
Exam venues are liable to change from semester to semester, so it is vital that you check your exam notification letter for details of your current semester exam venue.
If you receive written confirmation of an exam deferral or cancellation of enrolment, you should disregard the relevant exam details included in the exam notification letter.
