Method of payment

Debit Note of the Hall Fees will be given to students after check-in. Students can settle it by cash at any Hang Seng Bank (a Hang Seng Bank branch is located in the university campus.)

Method of refund

1) "Post-Cheque Method": All refund will be posted by cheque to your corresponding address recorded in Academic Secretariat student database. The cheque will be in Hong Kong dollar and you could receive it around 4 weeks after the check-out date.

2) "Collect-Cheque Method": All refund amount will be calculated based on the expected check-out date and assume there will be no claims on inventory items in your room. You can receive a cash cheque in Hong Kong dollar on your check-out date. For students who want to select this refund method, they must agree with the following requirements:

a) students must notify the Hall Management Section (HMS) they hope to select "Collect-Cheque Method" by email to sahall@inet.polyu.edu.hk at least three weeks in advance of their expected check-out date;

b) if they need to defer their expected check-out date, they need to notify HMS as soon as possible and the extra lodging fee should be paid by cash at HMS counter;

c) if they need to put forward their expected check-out date, the lodging fee for the period put forwarded will NOT be refunded;

d) if there are outstanding claims when check-out, students need to pay by cash at HMS counter;

e) HMS reserves the right to keep the cash cheque and convert to "Post-Cheque Method" in any circumstances.

If no indication of refund method is received from students, students will be assumed to take "Post-Cheque Method" automatically.
