New Non-Local Students

Non-local students (NLS) admitted to full-time government-funded Bachelor's degree programmes are eligible to apply for Student Residence, with higher priority granted during their first two years of study (i.e., Academic Year 2024/25 and 2025/26). The priority given CANNOT be transferred to any subsequent years of study (i.e., 3rd year of study or thereafter).

All NLS are required to submit hall applications by the deadline defined, even if they have a conditional offer during the hall application period. Otherwise, NO bedplace will be reserved even if they have a higher priority in the first two years of study.

Under the current Hall Admission Policy, newly admitted NLS shall reside in Ma On Shan Compound during their first year of study (i.e., 2024/25) and Kowloon Tong Compound in their second year of study (i.e., 2025/26).

For subsequent years of study (i.e., 3rd year of study or thereafter), NLS will be required to secure their own housing in the market and are advised to prepare funds to cover such accommodation. Further information can be obtained from the Student Residence Office website.

Hall application is on a yearly basis. Please pay attention to the application period. Late applications will NOT be entertained.

Upon the application result announcement, students have to pay a Confirmation Fee to indicate the acceptance of the offer by a specified deadline. The confirmation fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.

NO place will be reserved if you miss the payment deadline.
