|
|
|
| |
Preamble |
|
|
|
|
Far
beyond a mere place to stay, hall residence is an important
component of the whole-person education offered by City University
of Hong Kong. Being exposed to a diversity of individuals,
ideas and lifestyles, residents in Jockey Club Academy Hall
have ample opportunities to gain out-of-classroom experiences
which are as valuable as academic achievements. At the same
time, they are expected to observe the "Regulations Governing
Student Residence" and the "Code of Student Conduct"
of the University in order to maintain a secure, healthy and
pleasant environment for all personnel in the Hall.
The following Hall Rules and Regulations are also set to
maintain a due standard and to state the relevant procedures.
The spirit is not to sanction but to instil a sense of responsibility
and maturity in residents of the Hall to develop a harmonious
community. Residents' understanding and cooperation
are essential to make Jockey Club Academy Hall the best place
to live in and study. |
