Except for those specified by departments,
a fixed annual tuition fee payable by two equal instalments
will be charged, with the 1st instalment to be settled before
Semester One and the 2nd instalment to be settled before Semester
Two.
If you are new students enrolled on UGC-funded
full-time degree and sub-degree programmes paying a fixed annual
tuition fee, you are required to settle a registration fee to
indicate your acceptance of offer.
The registration fee (HK$5,000 for local students
and HK$10,000 for non-local students enrolling on full-time
UGC-funded degree and sub-degree programmes) which is non-refundable
and non-transferable, will be converted to form part of the
first semester tuition fee. The remaining amount of the first
semester tuition fee must then be paid on or before the payment
deadline specified on the debit note.
Only students enrolling on full-time programmes charging credit
fee are required to settle tuition fee for subjects taken in the
Summer Term after the add/drop period.
You need to settle the tuition fee according
to the number of credits pre-assigned/taken in that semester.
You will be charged an initial fee of 3 credits
before the commencement of the semester (except Summer Term).
If you have taken more than 3 credits or have applied for exemption/credit
transfer, etc, you will be required to settle the remaining
fees after the add/drop period.
For Summer Term subjects, you will be required to settle the
tuition fee only after the add/drop period.
Subject to the availability of study places,
you may make changes to your subjects during the add/drop period
of that semester on web.
If you have taken more credits, including
those taken before or during the add/drop period or have been
approved with credit transfer/exemption, you will be notified
via e-mail to settle the remaining fees about five weeks after
the commencement of the semester.
If you fail to settle the remaining fee
on or before the specified payment deadline, the approval previously
given for your subject adjustment, credit transfer and/or exemption,
and your registration on the programme will be nullified.
If you have paid more than the required
fee, you will receive a cash refund from our Finance Office
in about four weeks after the add/drop period.
