Notes to applicants

(I) Course Selection Each course has been assigned a "level" to indicate the degree of academic difficulty associated with the course. Levels B2, B3 and B4 are undergraduate courses while P5 and P6 are postgraduate courses. Requests for registration of postgraduate courses will be scrutinized case by case. Normally, exchange students with less than 3 years of university education are not encouraged to select P5 and P6 courses. Exchange students hosted by the SYE department are required to select at least half of their courses offered by the respective department. At CityUHK, an exchange student must be a full-time student. The minimum and maximum study loads for a full-time student are respectively 12 and 18 credits in a semester. (II) Assessment Exchange students should observe important dates published on the University's academic calendar within their study period. Requests for special assessment arrangement / schedule are normally not considered. Please refer to the University's Academic Regulations for Undergraduate Degrees for more information. (III) Off-campus Accommodation Students are strongly advised to arrive Hong Kong at least two or three weeks before the semester begins in order to seek off-campus accommodation. Details about off-campus accommodation are available at the SRO website. Enquiry: sro.offcampus@cityu.edu.hk (Email)
