Upon the announcement of allocation results, students have to pay a Confirmation Fee to indicate the acceptance of the offer by a specified deadline. Failure to pay the Confirmation Fee within the time period will imply forteiture of the offer. The confirmation fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.
The residence period for exchange students is confirmed to the exchange term as agreed by City University of Hong Kong and the home university. For non-local students, they can reside for an academic year. Successful applicants can check in one week before the commencement of the academic year and their residence period lasts till one week after the examination ends.
Student Residence offers shared double rooms and a limited number of single roms/ disabled rooms and three-person rooms. Students will be normally assigned to share double or three-person rooms with students who have expressed an interest in sharing a room with a non-local roommate. This will enhance cultural exchange and immersion into local student life. The small number of single rooms will be firstly assigned to those who have medical reasons or special needs with supporting documents enclosed in the completed application.
