Preparation for Subject Registration
Students are responsible
for their own studies at the University and are required to check the programme
requirement documents and register subjects accordingly in order to fulfill the
graduation requirements. You should seek academic advice from your Programme
Leader or Academic Advisor and study the academic regulations before
registration.
Before you register subject(s) in each semester,
you should check the following information via eStudent starting from the release of class timetable of
each semester
• Subject(s) pre-assigned to you by your department, if any (Study Information)
• Your personal class timetable (My Class Timetable)
• Your earliest commencing time (i.e. start time) for online subject registration (Personal Checklist)
• Subject details and class timetables (Subject Search / EasyPlanner)
Students
can try the "Mock Subject Registration" to familiarize
themselves with the subject registration procedures. All subjects you have
selected during Mock Subject Registration will NOT be carried forth to
your actual online subject registration.
Students
of Higher Diploma and Bachelor's Degree programmes should visit the website of the Office of Undergraduate Studies
(OUS) to
obtain the latest information about the General University Requirements (GUR).
Students are reminded to check if they have taken the required Cluster Area
Requirements (CAR) subjects to fulfill the graduation requirements and register
the necessary CAR subjects that have not been completed.
Students
on academic probation are required to take a reduced study load as determined
by the departments during the probation period to help improve their academic
performance. Students on academic probation should complete the Form 'Study
Load for Students on Academic Probation' (Form AR150), indicate the proposed study plans, take
initiatives to seek advice from the Academic Advisors within one week upon
announcement of assessment results to confirm the subject registration in the
ensuing semester.
During Subject Registration
You are reminded to check if you have taken the required compulsory and core subjects to fulfill the graduation requirements. Please refer to your programme requirement document for details of your graduation requirements.
Generally speaking, the credits you earned should be proportional to your number of years of study on the programme. For example, if the duration of your programme is four years and you have already studied for two years, you should have completed half of the credits required in order to be eligible for graduation. In case you fall short of the credits earned based on this estimation, you may wish to register more subjects to catch up your study progress whenever possible.
Select
and add subject(s) into your subject shopping cart, then press the ‘Proceed to Preview’
button and then the 'Confirm' button to proceed. Otherwise, the
selected subjects will not be recorded.
For
subjects pre-assigned/registered to you by your Department, you are not
required to confirm again via eStudent. Please check the class timetable and
attend the classes accordingly.
Prior approval is required for dropping a pre-assigned/registered subject for students studying Higher Diploma and Bachelor's Degree programmes. You have to seek academic advice from your Academic Advisor/Programme Leader if you have genuine needs to drop these subjects.
If
a class is full but open for enrollment for waitlisting as indicated by the
subject offering department, you will be placed on the waitlist for the
subject concerned automatically when you confirm to proceed with your subject
selection. A real-time waitlist position will be shown for your easy reference.
When a vacancy becomes available, students on the subject waitlist will be
registered automatically corresponding to your position on the waitlist. An
email notification will be sent to you upon successful registration of a
waitlisted subject. For further details, please refer to FAQ > waitlisting function.
After Subject Registration
A reference number will
be generated when you have completed your subject registration successfully.
Please send us an email at ar.subreg@polyu.edu.hk immediately if you
are not given any reference number.
If you wish to make changes to your subject registration after
the Subject Registration Period, please do so during the Adjustment before
Semester Commencement Period and/or the Add/Drop Period (after
Semester commencement).
Students
are not allowed to drop any subjects after the Add/Drop Period. If you have a
genuine need to withdraw from a subject after the Add/Drop Period, please refer
to Section 5G 'Withdrawal of Subjects' of the Student Handbook for details.
Students of Higher Diploma and Bachelor's Degree programmes can access
the Reference Checklist via eStudent > My Profile > Study
Information > Reference Checklist (Subjects Taken vs Your Graduation
Requirements). Please read through the section Points to Note at the end of the
checklist for detailed explanations of the displayed information. You should always refer to
the relevant Programme Requirement Document(s) for the detailed
subjects/credits requirements of your programme(s) and are advised to contact
your programme offering department(s) as soon as possible if you have
identified any discrepancies between the programme requirement document(s) and
the checklist, so that rectifications can be applied to the system settings on
your graduation requirements, where appropriate.
Points to Note
Students should study the Student Handbook for regulations
governing their study and registration at the University. Subject registration
record(s) which violating the University regulations will be removed after the
Add/Drop Period.
