Introduction
The University
The origin of the University can be traced back to 1937 with the founding of the first
publicly-funded post-secondary technical institution in Hong Kong the Government
Trade School. The School was renamed the Hong Kong Technical College in 1947.
In August 1972, the Hong Kong Polytechnic was formally established taking over
the campus and staff of the Hong Kong Technical College. The Institution
assumed full University status in November 1994. In terms of number of students, it
is the largest tertiary institution in Hong Kong funded by the HKSAR Government
through the University Grants Committee. It has a student population of about
31,120 by headcount.

Language Requirements
The University
In addition, students admitted in or before 2010-11 are required to sit for the
Graduating Students Language Proficiency Assessment (GSLPA) in both Chinese
and English before graduation. Except for those who are given exemption from
attempting the GSLPA, students who have not taken both of the GSLPAs shall not be
eligible for graduation.
Students admitted in 2011-12 and after will be required to complete two compulsory
3-credit language subjects (English and Chinese). Details of these requirements are
either set out in the definitive programme document, which will be issued to you by
your Department at the commencement of your study, or announced by the English
Language Centre and Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies.

Academic Advising
To empower you to fulfill the academic requirements, there are two systems of
academic advising at PolyU: a) Department-based academic advising; and b)
academic advising at the institutional level operated by the Office of General
University Requirements (OGUR). While the former system is primarily related to
advising on your Major study and Minor/Free Elective study (via Academic Advisor in
the Department/Faculty), the latter system attempts to help students to fulfill the
The University
GUR via OGUR Academic Counsellors. Please visit the Academic Advising page of
the website of the OGUR to understand more about academic advising at
PolyU http://www.polyu.edu.hk/ous/ogur.html. You may also visit the Academic
Advising website of the department offering your programme for arrangements
related to your programme. Information of the departmental websites can be found
in Appendix 5.
GUR is applicable to students admitted to 4-year curriculum undergraduate degree programmes and Higher
Diploma programmes starting from 2012/13 academic year.

Access to Information/Services
Access to Information/Services
A.
A PolyU Connect account based on the student number is provided to students for
access to the PolyU Connect system which provides e-mail, communication and
collaboration services to users. Information concerning your study may be sent to
you by lecturers and offices of the University, such as Academic Secretariat notices
on your registration or study related arrangements and Library notices on book
loans through PolyU Connect. Therefore, you are advised to check for messages in
your PolyU Connect account regularly.
At the PolyU Web page (http://www.polyu.edu.hk) and its University Portal
(https://portal.polyu.edu.hk), you can obtain general information about the
University as well as useful information relating to your studies and the facilities
available on campus. Different offices of the University including the Academic
Secretariat will put up important notices concerning your study under the News
channel of the University Portal from time to time (e.g. re-enrolment and subject
registration schedule, fee payment notification). In addition to checking emails at
your PolyU Connect account, it is necessary for you to check notices regularly on the
University Portal in order not to miss any important or up-to-date information.
All full-time and part-time students are assigned a Network Identity (NetID) to
access the Universitys central IT facilities and services. For the first access, students
have to register their assigned NetID and select their Network Password
(NetPassword) online by clicking the NetID Registration button on the University
Portal Login Page (https://portal.polyu.edu.hk) and then entering some personal
data including the PolyU Student Number. Your NetID is the same as your Student
Number, but with the last alphabetic character in lower case. For example, a student
with Student Number 13123456D will have NetID of 13123456d. With your
NetID and NetPassword, you can have free access to the Universitys central IT
facilities and services including eStudent, University Portal, Learning Management
System, Academic Computing Services, wired and wireless Internet connection,
network storage etc. Since most of your PolyU activities (e.g. subject registration,
web teaching and learning, and personal data amendment) are transacted on web,
you are strongly advised not to divulge your NetPassword or any other personal
identification numbers (PINs) to anybody.
For security reason, you should also change your account password/PIN from time
to time. Students will be held responsible for the actions done through their own
accounts which are controlled by their own account password/PIN.
Access to Information/Services
You can visit the Student Computer Centre on campus where full access to the
Universitys complete range of central IT facilities is available.

C.
You will be issued a copy of the definitive programme document for your
programme of study by the Department offering the programme at the
commencement of your study. You are required to check this document for the
details of the graduation requirements.
This document contains all information on the credit requirement, curriculum,
programme-specific assessment regulations, grading system and award
classification. This is subject to review and changes which the programme offering
department can decide to make from time to time. You will be informed of the
changes as and when appropriate. A copy of this definitive programme document
can also be found in the Library.

Confirmation of Enrolment
You need to confirm enrolment on your programme on a semester basis. You will
receive from the Finance Office an e-mail advising you to settle the relevant tuition
fee and other fees (including fees for students associations, credit transfer and
exemption etc.) in late August (for Semester 1) and in the following January (for
Semester 2). You can check on web at http://www.polyu.edu.hk/fo/internet/student
regarding the fee debit notes issued to you by the University and your payment
status.
To confirm your enrolment on a programme, normally you are only required to
settle the fees and register subject for the semester concerned before the specified
deadline. Tuition Fee Payment Schedule and details are available on web
at http://www.polyu.edu.hk/as/reginfo/paymentschedule.pdf under Registration
Information > Fee Payment or http://www.polyu.edu.hk/fo/internet/student under
Information > Tuition Fee and Payment Deadline. It is not necessary for you to
come in person to confirm your enrolment.
B.
As students under 18 do not have the full legal capacity to enter into contracts or
give valid consent, consent from their parents/guardians will be sought, upon the
students' acceptance of our offers, for them to select programmes, enroll in
subjects, reside in Student Halls of Residence, participate in the University's
academic or non-academic activities such as internships, placements, community
services, the student ambassador or helper scheme, offshore exchanges, study tours
or visits, sporting events and experiential camps held locally, on the Chinese
mainland or overseas, and make any related decisions.
Parents should note that, unlike secondary schools, university students have no
regular, fixed class timetable. Instead, students attend classes according to the
subjects in which they have enrolled, and they are free to leave the campus any
time they have no classes to attend. The University keeps no central records of
students' attendance or activities. Additionally, there is no special zone for students
under 18 in the University's Student Halls of Residence and they will share rooms
and facilities with other students. Parents are advised to discuss with their children
the behavior that is appropriate outside the University and the suitability of their
staying in the Student Halls, if applicable. Please visit http://www.polyu.edu.hk/sao/
services/studentsunder18 for more guidelines on student life.
As with all students, those under 18 must abide by the regulations stipulated in the
Student Handbook. The University has the right to inform parents of their children's

C.
Upon your first registration on the study programme, a student identity card will be
issued to you. You are entitled to the rights and privileges of a full-time or part-time
student, as appropriate, upon fulfilling the criteria for progression for the period
you have duly paid the tuition and other fees (including caution money, fees for
students associations etc.) and have completed the subject registration procedures.
You should carry your student identity card at all times while in the University
premises as it enables you to gain access to various facilities of the University.
Student identity cards will normally expire at end of semester one or end of an
academic year. If you are eligible to continue with your study after the expiry date
of your student identity card, please collect the renewed student identity card at the
Academic Secretariat Service Centre during office hours in the last week of August
(for student cards expiring at end of an academic year) or in the last week of
January (for student cards expiring at end of semester one). This is also applicable
to students who have transferred to another programme of a different mode (i.e.
from full-time to part-time or vice versa).
For transfer of study which requires the issuance of a new student identity card, you
will be charged a fee for the new student identity card.
i.
The student identity card is the property of the University and is not transferable.
It should be returned to the University upon withdrawal or termination of your
student status at PolyU, whichever is earlier.
As different administrative units have their own service provisions and effective
service periods for different types of students, in particular new students and
graduates who have completed their studies and eligible for award, their
entitlements to access services and facilities on campus will be determined by the
relevant units. Students can contact individual offices for information.
13
Registration
You are advised to return the card in person to the Academic Secretariat, if required.
If you prefer to return the student identity card by post, you are urged to cut the card
into halves (by cutting across the magnetic tape). Otherwise, you are at your risk of
any abuse in the use of your card when it is lost in post.
You are also reminded to clear all the money value stored in the student identity
card before returning it to the Academic Secretariat. The University shall not be
liable for any subsequent claims for unspent balance after the card has been
cancelled.
If you fail to return the student identity card within the specified period, the caution
money you have paid shall be confiscated, and you may not be eligible for any
certification of your study at the University. Subsequent request for refund of caution
money will not be entertained.
ii.
Abuse of Use
You should take good care of your student identity card to prevent any possible
abuse by other persons.
You are liable to disciplinary action, which may include temporary deprivation of
student rights, suspension or expulsion of studies, if you lend your student identity
card to another person to enable the latter to gain access to University facilities or
for other purposes.
iii.
In case your student identity card is lost or damaged, or you have amended your
name, you should submit an application for a replacement via Form AS2. A
replacement fee will be charged for the new student identity card. If the original
student identity card is found eventually, you should immediately return the original
student identity card to the Academic Secretariat for cancellation. It is an offence to
possess more than one student identity card for the same programme at the same
time and you shall be subject to disciplinary action if found committing this offence.
Application for Replacement of Student Identity Card (Form AS2)
Return it to:
http://www.polyu.edu.hk/as/web/
dir/student_form.html
If you cannot submit the application in person, you should attach a photocopy of your
HKID card to the application. Such copy will be destroyed after processing the
application.

The personal particulars you provided in your application form at the time of
admission will be used for setting up a permanent record at the University. Such
information (including your photo image collected for the student identity card) will
be used in activities in support of your study at the University including the activities
and services, provided by the units of the University, and conducted by the
Students Union. The information may also be used in support of alumni activities
after your graduation. It is particularly necessary for you to keep your contact
information updated.
Besides the information collected at the time of application, your registration details
and assessment results are also kept in your permanent records for monitoring your
progress during your study and for reference when certification is required.
In addition, names of graduates, together with information on the award title and
classification of award (for students with First Class Honours and Distinction only),
will be published in a Graduates List for Congregations use.
Your programme offering departments may also keep records related to your study.
If you have requested/used services provided by the University Health Service, the
University Library, the Student Affairs Office, the Information Technology Services
Office and the Facility Management Office or any other offices in the University,
appropriate records will also be kept by these offices.
Only authorised departments/staff of the University will have access to student data.
Student data will be deleted when they are no longer required according to laiddown rules. Retention policies will be reviewed regularly by the respective offices to
ensure that data are kept no longer than necessary.
The University may send you from time to time information relating to the
University, the Department or programmes that is not related to your study. This
intends to keep you abreast of the development of the University as well as
providing you with information that may be useful reference for further study. We
will, therefore, urge you to give your consent to us via the eStudent platform at
http://www.polyu.edu.hk/student immediately after programme registration. If you
wish to change your mind subsequently after giving the consent, you can do the
updating via eStudent too.

identity card by the deadline, the approval on your application will be withdrawn.
It is necessary for you to settle all the outstanding tuition fee and/or other fees in
order to have your application for deferment processed if the application is
submitted after the start of a semester. However, if you submit the application
before the commencement of the relevant semester, the tuition fee paid after
deducting a fee of HK$5,000 (for local students) or HK$15,000 (for non-local
students) will be refunded to you in cash. If the tuition fee paid is equal to or less
than the above amount, no refund will be arranged. The deduction of such fee will
however be waived for current students. Alternatively, you may apply for zero
subject enrolment to reserve your study place (please also refer to the section on
Zero Subject Enrolment and Retention of Study Place below).
Upon expiry of the approved period of deferred study, you will be advised to settle
the tuition fee and complete the subject registration procedures. If you do not
receive such notification one week before the commencement of the Semester, you
should enquire at the Academic Secretariat.
J.
If you do not wish to take any subject in a semester (including the summer term for
those programmes having compulsory summer term as specified in the definitive
programme document), you must seek approval from your Department to retain
your study place by submitting Form AS112 before the start of the semester and in
any case not later than the end of the add/drop period. Otherwise, your registration
and student status with the University will be removed. Please also refer to the
section on Discontinuation of Study on page 25 for further details. The semesters
during which you are allowed to take zero subject will be counted towards the
maximum period of registration for the programme concerned (please also refer to
the section on Maximum Period of Registration on page 17).
You will receive notification from the Department normally within 2 weeks if your
application is successful. Students who have been approved for zero subject
enrolment are allowed to retain their student status and continue using campus
facilities and library facilities. A fee of HK$2,105 per semester for retention of study
place will be charged.

Transfer of Study
It is the Universitys policy that new students will only be considered for transfer
to another programme offered in the same mode of study starting from their
second semester of registration.
If you are studying a UGC-funded programme and wish to transfer to other PolyU
UGC-funded programme of the same level of award, you should submit an application
for transfer of study instead of a new application in the non-JUPAS application
period. Current Higher Diploma students who have chosen to submit an application
via JUPAS are not allowed to submit a further application for transfer of study to fulltime programmes within PolyU.
Before you apply for transfer of study, you need to check the maximum
registration period of the programme concerned as the University will only consider
your application if your total period of registration does not exceed the maximum
period of registration of the programme with the longer duration.
If you are only eligible for transfer to the initial stage of a new programme, your
application will be considered together with the new applications for the programme.
Applications for transfer of study can only be considered subject to availability of
places. Applications for transfer of study should be made via Form AS25.

pay credit fees. If students wish to exercise such option, they have to inform
Departments before the end of the add/drop period of that semester.
If you wish to take less than 9 credits in a semester, you are required to seek
permission from your Department by submitting an application via Form AS121
before the end of the add/drop period. If your application is approved, you may
maintain your full-time student status. For students on UGC-funded programmes,
once you are approved to take less than 9 credits and pay credit fee, it is necessary
for you to pay tuition fee for subject(s) you will be taking in the summer term of
that academic year. You need to submit another application if you wish to continue
with the part-time study load in the next semester. Since you have been approved
to take less than 9 credits in a semester, there is no need for you to apply for
changing to self-paced status separately.
Student enrolling on mixed-mode programme with a study load of 9 credits or more
in a semester are classified as full-time students in that semester. Such students will
be classified as part-time students if they take less than 9 credits in the following
semester unless otherwise approved by the relevant department.

Self-paced Students
Self-paced students are those who have been given approval by their Department

approval from the Department by completing Form AS114 before the
commencement of the semester concerned. Once you are approved to become selfpaced, you will remain as a self-paced student throughout your entire study. A selfpaced student will be classified as a full-time or part-time student with reference to
the requirements stipulated above in this section.

Registration
Discontinuation of Study
If you discontinue your study without following the proper procedures for official
withdrawal, you will be regarded as having given up your study at the University. In
such cases, you will not be eligible for the refund of caution money and shall not be
considered for re-admission to the same programme/stream in the following
academic year.
iii.
De-registration
If you are de-registered on grounds of academic failure, you must return your
student identity card to the Academic Secretariat within 3 weeks upon the official
release of assessment result. Failure to return the student identity card may render
you not eligible for any certification of your study nor for admission in subsequent
years. The caution money paid will also be confiscated. Any subsequent request for
the refund of caution money by returning the student identity card after the original
deadline will not be entertained.
Students who have been de-registered shall not be considered for re-admission to
the same programme/stream in the following academic year.
N.
i.
Major/Minor Study
Eligible students will be invited to indicate an option within the first three weeks of
Semester 2 in their first year of registration. Students admitted on the basis of
advanced qualifications can approach their Department to arrange for making an
early option in Semester 1 of their first year of registration.
ii.
Students intending to follow a double degree study route should follow the schedule
specified by their Department in taking the option. Students following the double
degree study route need to take extra credits of 30 or more to complete the dual
award.

Students interested in a Minor must submit their application to and obtain approval
from the Minor-offering department, at the start of their second year of study during
the designated application period. No late application will be considered. To be
eligible for enrolment on a Minor, a student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or
above at the time of application for Minor enrolment. The Minor-offering Department
26
Registration
may set a quota and additional admission requirements apart from the above GPA
requirement. Also, students are required to obtain a GPA of at least 2.0 for both
Major and Minor programmes, and an overall GPA of at least 2.0 in order to satisfy
the requirement for graduation with a Major plus a Minor.
Students who have enrolled on a Minor are expected to complete their approved
Minor as part of their graduation requirements. Students who wish to withdraw from
a Minor need to apply for approval officially from the Minor-offering department,
prior to the end of the add/drop period of the last Semester of study.
A student is required to graduate as soon as he/she satisfies the graduation
requirements. The student concerned is required to apply for graduation, in the
semester in which he is able to fulfill all his graduation requirements, and after the
add/drop period for that semester has ended.
ii.
Students intending to complete a double major typically requires more than the
normative study period of 4/5 years and extra credits on self-financed basis (i.e.,
higher tuition fee). The actual number of credits required for getting a double major
depends on the level of commonality between the first major and the second major.
Students interested in taking a second major should first obtain approval to take a
second major from the programme offering department. They can then submit their
applications to the second major-offering department from their second year of
study. Only students with GPA of 3.0 or above can be considered for second major
study enrolment. Departments can, however, stipulate a higher GPA requirement for
entry to the second major.
Once enrolled, students are expected to complete the second major as part of their
graduation requirements. Students are required to obtain an overall of GPA at least
2.0 for the first degree as well as a GPA of at least 2.0 for the second major in order
to satisfy the requirement for graduation with double majors.
Students who wish to withdraw from a second major programme need to apply for
approval officially from the major-offering department before the end of the first
week of the semester in which they anticipate that they will become eligible for
award.
P.
Subject Registration
You can select elective subjects on a semester basis through the online subject
registration system via eStudent according to the schedule announced by the
Academic Secretariat.
The University has a limit on the maximum study load that a student can take in a
27
Registration
28
Q.
Registration
i.
Subject Exemption
You may be granted exemption from taking certain subjects if you have
successfully completed similar subjects in another programme. The credits
associated with the exempted subject will not be counted for satisfying the credit
requirements of your programme. You should consult your Department and take
another subject in its place. For students whose tuition fees are charged by
credits, an exemption fee will be charged.
ii.
Credit Transfer
You should submit an application for credit transfer upon your initial enrolment on
the programme or before the end of the add/drop period of the first semester of your
first year of study. Late applications may not be considered. For students whose
tuition fees are charged by credits, a credit transfer fee will be charged.
The validity period of subject credits earned is eight years from the year of
attainment, i.e. the year in which the subject is completed, unless otherwise
specified by the department responsible for the content of the subject (e.g. the
credit was earned in 1998-99, then the validity period should count from 1999 for
eight years). Credits earned from previous studies should remain valid at the time
when the student applies for transfer of credits. There is a limit on the maximum
number of credits that could be transferred. If the credits attained from previous
study are from PolyU, the total credits transferred should not exceed 67% of the
required credits for the award. If the credits gained are from other institutions, the
total credits transferred should not exceed 50%. In cases where both types of credits
are transferred, not more than 50% of the required number of credits for the
academic award may be transferred. Grades may or may not be given for the
transferred credits.
All credits transferred will be counted for satisfying the award requirements.
Transferred credits may be counted for meeting the requirements of more than one
award.
Some programmes may accept applicants holding advanced qualification. If you
have an advanced qualification relevant to the programme enrolled, you may be
allowed to take fewer credits than the programme normally requires. However, when
29
Registration
you apply for credit transfer, the credits that you are not required to study will also
be counted towards the maximum number of transferred credits. For example, a
student holding an advanced qualification earned outside PolyU is only required to
take 60 credits, i.e. 30 credits less of the credit requirement of 90 credits. The
number of credits that the student can further apply for transfer is only 15 credits, as
the 30 credits that he is not required to study will be counted into the limit of the
credit transfer he can earn (i.e. 45 credits, which is 50% of the credit requirement of
90 credits).
Application for Subject Exemption/Credit Transfer (Form AS41c)
Get the form from:
Return it to:
http://www.polyu.edu.hk/as/web/dir/
student_form.html
Academic Secretariat Service Centre
Application period:
Preferably before the start of the first semester, or before the end of add/drop
period of each semester.
You will receive notification from the Department concerned normally within 14
working days if your application for the subject exemption/credit transfer is
successful. If you are a credit fee paying student, you will receive a debit note
for settlement of the subject exemption/credit transfer fee, the non-payment of
which will nullify the approved subject exemption/credit transfer. A reinstatement
fee of HK$400 will be charged if you wish to reinstate the approval for the subject
exemption/credit transfer fee.
You can also earn credits through studying at an exchange institution. Before you
decide on which subjects to take at the exchange institution, you should seek
provisional approval from your programme offering department on the study plan
and the possibility for credit transfer for fulfilling the award requirement of your
programme by completing Form AS41a. Upon successful completion of the
exchange programme/activity, you need to submit a formal application for credit
transfer by completing Form AS41c. Students who received transferred credits
from an approved exchange programme can exceed the 50% limit of total credits
transferred.

Registration

student_form.html
Academic Secretariat Service Centre
Application period:
Before the start of an exchange activity or during the approved exchange
activity, if the subjects to be taken can only be finalised by then.
You may also seek approval from your Department for exemption or credit transfer
for language and general education subjects attained in previous study. Subject to
the approval of the subject offering department, exemption from compulsory
language subjects may be possible for special cases, e.g. students who have not
taken Chinese since Secondary 5 may be exempted from compulsory Chinese
subjects. Students seeking exemption or credit transfer for compulsory language
subjects may be required to take a suitable test to demonstrate their level of
proficiency.
In case of extenuating circumstances (such as claiming credits for study on an
exchange programme) where the application of credit transfer can only be
submitted after the first semester of the first year of study, all credit transfers
approved will take effect only in the semester for which they are approved. Such
students will only be eligible for graduation at the end of that semester, even if the
granting of the credit transfer will immediately enable the student to satisfy the
total credit requirement for the award.

Retaking of Subjects
31
Registration
S.
Unqualified Subjects
Upon the finalisation of the semester subject results, if you have failed a subject
which is a pre-requisite of the follow-on subject(s) in the next semester, the follow-on
subject(s) which you enrolled earlier will be marked as unqualified subjects in your
subject registration record and you will not be qualified for attending classes of these
subjects.
You are therefore advised to check your Subject Registration History at the
eStudent (http://www.polyu.edu.hk/student > Subject Registration > Subject
Registration History) to find out whether you have any unqualified subjects after the
finalisation of the overall result of the last semester. Normally, your programme
offering department will let you know if you have been waived from the pre-requisite
requirement and are allowed to take the unqualified subject. However, in case the
Department concerned does not grant you the waiver but you still wish to take the
unqualified subject, you should approach your Department to seek special approval.
Alternatively you can take other subjects in place of the unqualified subjects. You
should complete these actions before the end of the add/drop period of the semester
concerned.
T.
If you wish to change the subjects enrolled, you may do so through the online
add/drop system during the 2-week add/drop period (one week for summer term).
You are advised not to make any changes to the subjects pre-assigned to you by the
Department without consulting your Department/Academic Advisor. In case you
wish to drop all subjects for a semester, you must first seek approval from your
Department for zero subject enrolment (please refer to the section on Zero Subject
Enrolment and Retention of Study Place on page 19). Otherwise, you may be
considered as having decided to withdraw from study on the programme concerned.
Dropping of subjects after the add/drop period is not allowed. If you have a genuine
need to do so, it will be handled as withdrawal of subject (please refer to the
section on Withdrawal of Subject on page 33).
32
U.
Registration
Subject to not exceeding the maximum credits allowed, students can take additional
subjects before graduation to broaden their perspective. The selection of additional
subjects will be done during the last 2 days of add/drop period. Any requests for
dropping the additional subjects after the add/drop period will be treated as subject
withdrawal. All subjects will be included in the GPA calculation during a students
study while only those subjects within the programme curriculum requirement will be
counted towards a students award classification.
V.
Withdrawal of Subject
If you have a genuine need to withdraw from a subject after the add/drop period,
you should submit an application for withdrawal of subject to your programme
offering department. Such requests will be considered by both the programme
leader and the subject lecturer concerned if there are strong justifications and when
the tuition fee of the subject concerned has been settled. Requests for subject
withdrawal will not be entertained after the commencement of the examination
period for your programme.
For approved cases, a handling fee will be charged. The tuition fees paid for the
withdrawn subject will be forfeited. The withdrawn subjects will still be reported in
your Assessment Result Notification and Transcript of Studies although they will not
be counted in GPA calculation. If the handling fee concerned is outstanding by the
payment deadline, the approval given will be declared void and you are required to
attend classes of this subject and complete its assessment(s) accordingly. A
reinstatement fee of HK$400 will be charged if you wish to reinstate the approval for
the withdrawn subject.
W.
Nullification of Registration
If you fail to complete subject registration on the scheduled date, fail to settle your
tuition fees by the payment deadline or the fee payment is rejected by the bank, your
registration on the programme, including subject enrolment, will be declared null
and void and your registration/student status with the University will be removed.
It is only under exceptional circumstances that you will be allowed to have your
registration reinstated. Applications for reinstatement of registration can be made
using Form AS118. Applications submitted after 2 weeks from the date of
nullification of registration will not be considered. For approved cases, a
reinstatement fee of HK$400 will be charged.

(i)
The student has exceeded the maximum period of registration for that
programme as specified in the definitive programme document; or
(ii)
The students GPA is lower than 2.0 for two consecutive semesters and
his/her Semester GPA in the second semester is below 2.0; or
(iii)
The students GPA is lower than 2.0 for three consecutive semesters.
Notwithstanding the above, the Board of Examiners will have the discretion to deregister students with extremely poor academic performance before the time
specified in (ii) and (iii) above. If there are good reasons, the Board of Examiners
has the discretion to recommend, for approval by the respective Faculty
Office/School of Design/School of Hotel and Tourism Management, that students
who fall into categories (ii) or (iii) be allowed to stay on the programme.

Subject Lecturers have sole responsibilities for marking students course work and
examinations scripts, grading them, finalising the results and informing each student
of his/her results, in respect of the subject they teach. The Board of Examiners
(BoE) for each programme is responsible for making a decision on the students
classification of award and on cases such as de-registration or those with extenuating
circumstances. It is therefore the responsibility of students to make known to
Subject Lectures/BoE, in advance or as soon as possible after the assessment
through the Department concerned, the factors which they believe have
detrimentally and materially affected their assessment results.
i.
46
Assessment
A students disagreement with the marking or with the decision is not in itself an
adequate ground for an appeal.
ii.
Students appealing against the decision on their assessment results shall pay a fee
of HK$125. Payment forms are obtainable from the Academic Secretariat Service
Centre. If more than one examination paper is involved, an extra fee of HK$125
shall be charged for each additional paper. This fee shall be refunded if the appeal is
upheld.
A student should make his/her appeal in writing to his/her Head of Department no
later than 7 working days upon the public announcement of his/her overall results,
i.e. the date when the overall results are announced to students via the web. [For
2013-14, the announcement dates for overall results are 13 January 2014 (Semester
1), 3 June 2014 (Semester 2) and 5 August 2014 (Summer Term).] The Head of
Department shall deal with the appeal if the student is studying in a departmentbased programme/scheme. If the student is studying in other types of
programmes/schemes, the Head of Department shall refer the appeal to the
following authorised person:
(i)
the Programme
Programmes; or
Leader
- for
Faculty/School-hosted Undergraduate

The appeal should be accompanied by a copy of the fee receipt, for inspection by the
Department concerned. The student should give a complete account of the grounds
for the appeal in the letter, and provide any supporting evidence.
Departments should inform the student concerned of the appeal result within 7
working days after either the announcement of the students overall result or
receipt of the letter of appeal, whichever is later.

to the Academic Secretary but not later than 7 working days after receipt of the
Head of Departments/authorised persons reply. He/She should provide the
following information together with other relevant documents in support of the
appeal:
The Academic Secretary shall then refer the case to the Academic Appeals

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University is a place for learning and personal
development. It is a community of men and women working together, in cooperation and mutual respect, in studies and research in sciences, technology,
commerce, human services and other disciplines of learning.
Students are provided with opportunities, facilities and an environment to learn to
become competent members of a trade/profession as well as responsible and
contributive citizens, and are expected to behave at all times in a manner acceptable
to the members of the trade/profession they belong.
All students, like other members of the University community, must obey the laws of
Hong Kong and are required to observe and comply with the rules and regulations
promulgated by the University.
A.
The University may take disciplinary action against any student who commits any
misconduct, violates the laws of Hong Kong or any of the Universitys regulations
and rules.
Such cases may be referred to the Student Discipline Committee for investigation
and decision. If the student is found guilty of the alleged offence, penalties
considered appropriate by the Committee may be imposed, depending on the
seriousness of the case. These may include:
reprimand;
fine;
suspension from use of any of the University facilities for a specified period;
suspension of studies for a specified period of time;
expulsion for a specified period or indefinitely; and
any other penalties as considered appropriate.
Students who are subject to disciplinary action can approach the Director of Student
Affairs for advice and assistance. Students attending hearings of the Student
Discipline Committee can ask a staff member of the University or a University
student of their own choice to accompany them.
Students who are expelled from the University for disciplinary reasons will not be
eligible for refund of the caution money paid.

Students or student groups other than The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Students Union (HKPUSU) and its sub-organizations, who wish to request any
individual or organization for sponsorship/advertisement/donation, in cash or in kind,

been entrusted with the responsibility of handling such requests. All letters
requesting sponsorship/advertisement/donation sent by students or student groups
other than the HKPUSU and its sub-organizations must be copied to the Student
Affairs Office.
If HKPUSU and its sub-organizations wish to request sponsorship/
advertisement/donation, written permission must be obtained from the Union Council
of HKPUSU. The HKPUSU logo together with a statement explaining that HKPUSU is
registered under the Societies Ordinance and that HKPUSU is an independent

Academic Studies
i.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity exists when students do their academic work in an honest and
ethical manner, following the conventions and code of practice of their chosen
discipline or profession.
The University believes that academic integrity is central to the mission of a
university, and expects its students to adhere to high standards of academic integrity
in all assignments and examinations.
The University views any violations of academic integrity as a serious disciplinary
offence because it seriously undermines the value of the teaching, learning and
research of the University. Students who cheat in their academic work limit their
learning because they have not undergone the learning experience intentionally
designed to help them to gain the specific knowledge or skills. At the same time, if
some students cheat in the assessment and get a good grade, it is not fair to the
others who are honest and do their own work. Finally, academic dishonesty will
tarnish the reputation of the programme and its graduates and in the long run,
diminish the value of the degree or education from the University.
Students should therefore refrain from committing any acts of academic dishonesty,
which include but are not limited to the following:
(i)
Cheating
(ii)
Plagiarism
56
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
Allowing another student to copy ones own assignment for submission for
credit
Allowing another student to copy answers during tests or examinations
Completing an assignment or academic work, or taking a test or
examination for another student
ii.

(ii)
makes material use of the Universitys resources for his/her research work;
(iii)
receives material guidance and intellectual input from the Universitys staff
for his/her research work; or
(iv)
For the purpose of the Handbook, Intellectual Property means any discovery,
creation, invention, design, get-up, trade mark, know-how or any research effort
and all rights pertaining thereto whether registrable or not including patents,
copyright, trade marks, designs, utility models, or other such rights in any country
and the term Materials means the materials created by the students including but
57
iii.
A person who, without the license of the copyright owner, sells, offers for
sale or distributes an infringing copy of the work for the purpose of trade or
business commits an offence punishable by a fine of HK$50,000 in respect
of each infringing copy and imprisonment for 4 years, the person is also
subject to action for damage (or for handing over the profits) by the
copyright owner.
58
Please also read the Copyright (Libraries) Regulations on page 68 under the Pao
Yue-kong Library.
iv.
Class Discipline
It is important that you attend lectures and study related activities regularly and
punctually. You may be rejected from attending class if you are late by 15 minutes
without good reasons or permission. Absence will affect your progress and you
should not be absent without good reason or permission.
Students are expected to reap the maximum benefit from the learning process by
respecting teachers and classmates and observe discipline in class or other study
related activities.
Students are prohibited from the following:
(i)
use of mobile phones, pagers and/or other devices that are unrelated to
learning;
(ii)
(iii)
Violation of the above may result in receiving a warning from the class teacher.
Upon being warned consecutively for the third time, the class teacher may ask the
student to leave the classroom and later report the incident in writing to the Head
of Department to which the student in question belongs. Repeated offenders may be
liable to suspension from attending future classes. The Head of Department may
at his/her discretion report such cases to the Student Discipline Committee for
consideration of further disciplinary actions.
v.
During your industrial training or visit, you must strictly obey all the rules of the
factory or firm where you are working or visiting. Safety precautions specified by
the factory or firm should be closely observed. The opportunity to be trained is a
privilege and you should show respect for it by behaving in a disciplined and
responsible manner, thereby maintaining the good name of the University.

Alcoholic Drinks
Students should not take alcoholic drinks on the University campus. If students wish
to hold a function at which beer, wines or spirits are to be served, they must first
59
obtain prior permission from the University. Applications should be made to the SAO

K.
Under the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG), you can
apply to stay in or return to Hong Kong after you have obtained a degree or higher
qualification in a full-time and locally-accredited programme in Hong Kong. You will
normally be granted a stay of 12 months on time limitation without any condition
upon application, provided that you meet the normal immigration requirements.
During the stay, you are free to take up employment or pursue studies in Hong Kong
without the need to seek prior approval from the Immigration Department.
Procedures

An official Assessment Result Notification.
You may apply for any of the above documents upon the release of overall

on page 45 and Transcript of Studies / Testimonial on page 50.
While you are waiting for the results for graduation, you may apply for the
interim extension of stay direct at the Immigration Department. The Immigration
Department will normally grant a 3-month interim extension to eligible students. The
interim visa, however, does not entitle you to study or work in Hong Kong. You
should apply for such an extension only after you have completed all coursework
and examinations. And once it is confirmed that you need to continue to study, you
should apply for student visa extension immediately (please refer to the section on
Visa Extension on page 87). Before your application for student visa extension, or
IANG visa, is approved by the Immigration Department, you should not attend
classes at the University or start working on a job.

safety;
Take reasonable care at work and study for your health and safety and all
other persons who may be affected by your acts or omissions;
Report problems relating to health and safety matters to your lecturers and
supervisors timely.
C.
The following guidelines on laboratory safety aim to ensure appropriate health and

D.
Since the operation of irradiating apparatus (such as X-ray equipment) and the
handling of radioactive substance are subject to stringent regulatory control by the
Law of Hong Kong, undergraduate students are not allowed to operate or handle
them unless they are under the direct supervision of the technical staff of the
laboratory or the responsible academic staff. For postgraduate students, they must
have received proper training and registered with the Health, Safety and
Environment Office before they are allowed to handle these radiation sources. In

E.
Improper use of high-power laser may result in irrecoverable injury, especially to our
eyes or skin, and even death in extreme case. Hence, it is the policy of the
University to require all high-power laser equipment (i.e. class 3b or above) to be
registered with the Health, Safety and Environment Office.
For users who are undergraduate students, they must be under the direct
supervision of the technical staff of the laboratory or the responsible academic staff
whenever the high-power laser equipment is energized. For postgraduate students,
they must have received proper laser safety training before they are allowed to
operate the laser equipment.
Besides, the users must not tamper with the safety interlocks, if any, of the laser
equipment and must always comply with appropriate safety procedures.

Appendix 3
Plagiarism
A.
About Plagiarism
Plagiarism refers to the act of using the creative works of others (e.g. ideas, words,
images or sound, etc) in ones own work without proper acknowledgement of the
source. According to the Websters Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary (1987), to
plagiarise means
[T]o steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as ones own : [to] use (a
created production) without crediting the source : [to] commit literary theft :
[to] present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing
source.
The University views plagiarism, whether committed intentionally or because of
ignorance or negligence, as a serious disciplinary offence. Excuses such as not
knowing that this is required or not knowing how to do it will not be accepted. It
is the students responsibility to understand what plagiarism is, and take action steps
to avoid plagiarism in their academic work. The golden rule is: if in doubt,
acknowledge.
B.
Avoiding Plagiarism
Students are required to submit their original work and avoid any possible
suggestion of plagiarism in the work they submit for grading or credit. Below are
some suggestions on how you can avoid plagiarism in your own work:
i.
Take careful notes so that you know where you got your information.
Keep track of all the sources you have used for each assignment.
100
Appendix 3 (Contd)
Ask your teacher what type of collaboration and help is permitted for the
specific assignment.
iii.
Plan your academic work carefully and start early so that you have time to do
your own work.
Make a work schedule for your work and try to keep to it.
iv.
C.
To know more about plagiarism and how to cite sources properly in your work, please
refer to the booklet About Plagiarism and How to Avoid It developed by the
University at http://edc.polyu.edu.hk/PSP/Plagiarism_Booklet.pdf.
You can also obtain more information about using sources and referencing styles
from the following web page of the Centre for Independent Language Learning,
English Language Centre of this University at http://elc.polyu.edu.hk/CILL/
