Please submit the form together with a photocopy of their academic transcript(s) for previous academic qualifications obtained, to the coordinating offices of their home institutions for endorsement. Applications without the home institution's endorsement would not be processed.
If an applicant has outstanding fees/payments with CityUHK, he/she should settle the outstanding fees/payments in full before being allowed to enrol in the course(s).
Applications for courses NOT on the above lists will NOT be accepted for processing.

Students will be officially registered for the course and are required to participate fully in the course, which includes completion of coursework and an examination, if applicable. Students should observe the rules and regulations prescribed by CityUHK during course registration.
