- Non-local undergraduate students admitted from 2023/24 onwards will, subject to the availability of residential places, normally be given an opportunity to stay in University-managed Accommodation (UMA - including the Student Halls and off-campus housing), for their first year of study (including the period of joining work-integrated-education/internship and/or outbound exchange programme, if any). Non-local undergraduate students are reminded to arrange their own accommodation outside the Student Halls from their second year of study onwards.
- To address the imbalance between male and female hall places, a cluster of 8 rooms on every female floors of co-ed UG halls in Hung Hom Halls is set aside for male students. A typical floor plan shows the change here.
