About Examination and Course Expiry Date

A student must pass examination within 6 months after course enrollment. Please be aware of the “Expiry Date” as shown in LOMA’s learning management system.

Due to the time difference between Hong Kong and the United States, students should not wait until and attempt examination in the last few days prior to the Expiry Date. For example, if LOMA’s learning management system shows the 24th of May 2019 as Expiry Date, it means that access to examination shall be barred at 00:00am on the 24th May 2019 (Eastern Standard Time (EST)).
