Students and colleagues are reminded of the following arrangements of classes and examinations when Tropical Storm Warning Signal No. 8 (or a higher number) or the Black Rainstorm Warning Signal is hoisted (Source: Academic Support and Admissions Section of the Registry):

(a)  If either of the warnings is hoisted or in force AT OR AFTER 
6:00 a.m., all morning classes and examinations commencing 
BEFORE 2:00 p.m. will be CANCELLED automatically.

Thus, today's morning classes and examinations commencing 
BEFORE 2:00 p.m. have been CANCELLED

(b)  If either of the warnings is hoisted or in force AT OR AFTER 
11:00 a.m., all afternoon classes and examinations commencing at 
any time FROM 2:00 p.m. AND BEFORE 6:00 p.m. will be 
CANCELLED automatically.

Thus, this remains to be determined.

(c)  If either of the warnings is hoisted or in force AT or AFTER 
3:00 p.m., all evening classes and examinations commencing 
FROM 6:00 p.m. onward will be CANCELLED automatically.

Thus, this remains to be determined.

(2)  For classes and examinations already started

(a)  When Tropical Storm Warning Signal No. 8 or above is hoisted, 

- All classes will be suspended immediately.
- All examinations will continue until the end of that examination 
session.

(b)  When Black Rainstorm Warning Signal is hoisted,

- All classes and examinations, except those held outdoors, will 
continue.
- For outdoor classes and examinations, the responsible staff 
members on the spot should suspend the activities immediately, 
ensure that all students are taken to a safe place, and remain there 
until it is safe for them to return home.
