A student who enrols in the University incurs a financial obligation to the University. Starting from Semester A, 2006-07, students studying programmes will charge tuition fees according to the number of credit units taken are normally required to pay a minimum tuition fee of two credit units before the start of Semesters A and B. The balance of the tuition fee chargeable for the semester will be collected after the close of the course add/drop period.
A statement of accounts will be issued to students with a specified due date at the appropriate time. It is the student’s responsibility to observe the due date for fee payment, and to notify SGS if he or she has not received any statement of account by two weeks before the semester starts.
Student can check their fee payment account balance through the Web by following the procedures given below:
- Select "CityU Portal" from the CityU homepage
- Enter your electronic ID and password
- Click "AIMS" on left hand side, and select "Student Record", then "My Account Summary"
If you have financial difficulties and are unable to settle the tuition by the deadline, you should submit an application for deferment of tuition payment to the Chow Yei Ching School of Graduate Studies at least five working days before the payment deadline.
The Finance Office will issue reminder(s) to students who have outstanding fees in their student account. A late charge (equivalent to 2% of the outstanding fee) will be added to the account for every reminder issued. Students who still have not settled their accounts after being given two reminders by the Finance Office will have their study terminated by the University and all of their course registrations will be cancelled. Once study has been terminated, the student is not allowed to use any University facilities and is not permitted to attend any examination.
