Admission offers are mostly made from January to May. The selection process is normally completed by the end of July for local applicants. Offers will continue when vacancies arise, until the start of Semester A. You can access your application account using the electronic ID and password created at the time of application to check the outcome of your application. If your application is successful, we will notify you by email, and you will be able to retrieve your admission offer letter via your application account.
To accept an admission offer, you must pay a deposit of HKD5,000 (not refundable or transferrable) and accept the offer via your application account by the acceptance deadline (usually 2 weeks).
If you receive more than one admission offer from the University, the acceptance of a later offer will supersede and cancel the previous acceptance of any other offer(s). Note that at any one time, you can accept one admission offer only. Upon enrolment, the non-refundable acceptance fee paid at the time of admission will be credited towards your tuition fee. The balance of the fee required for the first semester of study will be collected following the University's fee payment schedule.
- when the applicant subsequently accepts another offer of an award programme of the University in the same semester of admission and has paid the acceptance fee;
- when the applicant fails to meet the condition(s) of the admission offer, resulting in a withdrawal of the offer by the University (a refund request should be submitted in writing to the Admissions Office before the commencement of your entry term, along with the documentary proof that the condition(s) cannot be met.); or
- when the programme for which an offer is made is subsequently cancelled by the University.
If requested by the University, you should present the ORIGINAL certificate / official certification of your qualifications as stated in your application (e.g. transcripts, award certificates, English test results and an officially certified English translation where applicable) for verification before starting your study.
Applicants who receive a conditional offer should also supply the documentation certifying the fulfilment of conditions before the deadline indicated in the admission offer letter.
The University reserves the right to decide whether the submitted documents are acceptable. If you fail to provide the documentation acceptable to the University for verification, your admission offer will be withdrawn and your enrolment at the University will also be rescinded. Any fees paid will not be refunded.
After you have accepted the admission offer and paid the acceptance fee, the Academic Regulations and Records Office will contact you from July onwards regarding the arrangements for enrolment, student ID card, class schedule and course registration. If you fail to complete the enrolment procedure by the specified date, you will be considered as having given up the place for admission, and any fees paid will not be refunded.
