Admission Policy of Student Halls for Full-time Research Students
1) Eligibility of Hall Application
Only full-time research students within normal study period are eligible for one year of hall residence, subject to availability. Such eligibility expires at the end of the normal study period.
2) Allocation Principles of Residential Places
Residential places for research postgraduate students will be allocated according to the following principles with effect from 1 June 2009:
- Top priority will be given to new intake of students for their 1st year of study;
- Priority will decrease with the length of stay in Student Halls;
- Priority will increase for those whose home residence is outside Hong Kong;
- Students who have significant contribution to University activities, including extracurricular activities, will have priority over other students in the same priority category;
- Students in the same priority category are normally admitted on a first-come, first-served basis according to their check-in dates; and
- Students will not be eligible to stay in the Student Halls beyond their normal study period.
3) Re-admission
Research students who have enjoyed one year’s residential provision are strongly advised to search for and secure their own accommodation in the market. Students may re-apply for further residence in Student Halls within the last 3 months of their residential period. Re-admission is not guaranteed and it is even harder to guarantee re-admission to the same Halls. The room rates for returning research students will be higher. The remaining normal study period of successful applicants should be more than 6 months at the time of check-in. The length of residence will be 1 year, or up to the end of normal study period, whichever shorter. The application for re-admission will be processed according to the Allocation Principles stated and will be subject to availability.
Students who have significant contribution to Boyan Hall may be recommended for re-admission by Boyan Hall Warden, and will be subject to availability. Details please refer to Boyan Hall website.
