applications within half an hour after interview and proceed to register successful
applicants. (Schools should do their best to inform the applicants beforehand the
approximate time required to wait for an interview so that students may decide whether to

Generally speaking, if Typhoon Signal No.8 or Black Rainstorm warning is issued early in the
morning, the Procedure will be postponed and 11:00 a.m. will be used as a cut-off time for
postponement of the Procedure either by half day or a full day. In brief,
If Typhoon Signal No.8 / Black Rainstorm warning is cancelled at or before 11:00 a.m., the
stage affected will be postponed to the afternoon of the same day. The other stages will be
postponed accordingly.
If Typhoon Signal No.8 / Black Rainstorm warning is cancelled after 11:00 a.m., all the
remaining stages will be deferred by one day.
