Caution:
Applicants for the Fellowship Exams are entitled to register for one or more modules in a single registration request. In case of modification (adding/deleting a module, changing city), the previous registration request will be automatically canceled, and the last registration request will be considered. (Example: If you registered for the accounting module in Riyadh and received an SMS confirming receipt of the registration request and then added another module or changed the city, the first registration for the accounting module will be automatically deleted, and the last registration request will be considered).
   
- If the exam invoice is issued or the registration request is rejected, the applicant may not add or delete any module. If the applicant is finally accepted, they can only modify the request by (changing the city or module according to available seats for the exam during the registration period) or postpone one of the modules or the entire exam during the specified postponement period. This shall exclude any applicant whose request was accepted based on a previous exam postponement.

- The applicant shall pay the full amount due for the exam fees and the fees for all modules. In the event that fees are paid partially, and the rest are ignored, the application for registration will be rejected, not just for those that have not been paid. This excludes the deferred fees for the exam.
- SOCPA shall be entitled to transfer the applicant's exam from computer-based to paper-based exam if computer-based exam seats are unavailable, or vice versa if computer-based exam seats are available, without obtaining the applicant's consent.
