Non-local Student Services

The Non-Local Student Services Team (NLSST), Student Affairs Office, provides Chinese Mainland and International Students with a wide range of student-centred support services and learning experiences throughout their studies at PolyU towards their development and enrichment. Collaborating with local and non-local students and staff, we aim to strengthen integration among PolyU students.
