Payment Procedures
 
Upon the announcement of allocation results, students have to pay a Confirmation Fee at a time to be specified in the offer letter to indicate the acceptance of the offer. Failure to pay the Confirmation Fee within the time period will imply forfeiture of the offer.

The Confirmation Fee is set at the level approximate to 10% of a double room rental per semester (i.e. $ 500 based on the current rate of $ 4,840). The exact fee level will be determined by the Student Residence Office.

Hostel fees and associated charges will be collected and processed in a similar fashion as other student fees and charges, by:
 
incorporating into the regular fee statements (4 billing cycles per year) issued by the Finance Office;
using bank pay-in slips;
using internet HSBC payment gateway.
 
  Damage to Hostel and Properties
 
Compensation to the University for damage caused to the student residence and properties will be based on assessment by the Director of Student Residence Office in consultation with the Directors of Facilities Management and Finance, having regards to the cost of properties repaired and replaced as appropriate.
   
  Penalty Charges for Late Check-Out and Improper Check-out
 
Penalty charges will be levied to residents who fail to check out their rooms upon the completion of the assigned period. Penalty charges will also be levied to the residents who fail to properly clean up their rooms or restore the furniture upon check-out. The exact penalty charges will be determined by the Student Residence Office in consultation with Finance Office.

  Late Payment
 
The Student Handbook contains provisions which empower the University to terminate a student's study and/or to withhold his/her testimonials and academic transcripts and the conferment of awards on account of non-settlement of outstanding fees and charges which include hostel and associated charges.

In line with the principle recently adopted by the Sub-Committee on Tuition Fees, penalties for over-due hostel and associated charges may be levied at about 2% of the amounts outstanding per billing cycle, to be billed together with other outstanding student fees and charges, if any.
   
  Refund
  Confirmation Fee: Non-refundable and non-transferable on all conditions.
 
Early withdrawal from student residence initiated by the University, e.g. due to violation of regulations, or expulsion from University on account of disciplinary and/or academic grounds: Refund on a pro-rata daily rate basis for all the hall fees paid (except the confirmation fee which is non-refundable and non-transferable).
   
  Early withdrawal from hostel residence initiated by the student:
 
Withdrawal within the second week of the relevant academic year: Refund on a pro-rata daily rate basis for all the hall fees paid (except the confirmation fee which is non-refundable and non-transferable).
