Allocation Criteria & Scoring System
If the demand is greater than the total number of bed spaces, the allocation of bed spaces will be based on the Scoring System. Lot drawing will be used for applicants who have the same scores above the threshold.
75% of available bed spaces for local students without hall experience or staying in the hall less than 120 days are need-based, according to the ranking of the combined scores of "Home Environment and Commuting Time" (Score A) and the ranking of the combined scores of "Leadership Qualities and Potential Contribution to Residence Life" (Score B).
Those students failing to get the hall offer via Score A & B will join a lottery automatically (25% of available bed spaces for local students without hall experience or staying in the hall less than 120 days).
Students on waiting list will be topped up based on their Scores A & B.
If places are available for inviting applications for Semester B of the academic year, priority will be given to Final Year Students who have never stayed in the Student Residence.
