As you begin your university journey, participating in student-led orientation activities is a great way to connect with peers and immerse yourself in campus life. Look for our Q-mark icon to identify activities approved by PolyU’s Hosting Units (faculties, schools, or departments), which are covered by the University’s group personal accident insurance. STAY TUNED for the upcoming orientation activities in 2025!

 

Q-mark

 

In addition, new students who are approached to participate in externally organised activities or sign up for groups or communities are strongly advised to stay safe:

 

  • Verify Activities: Always check the credibility of organisers and review the details, terms, and conditions of any activity before enrolling.

  • Beware of Unauthorised Activities: Avoid activities without the Q-mark icon or those promoted through unofficial communication channels (e.g. groups at the MTR Hung Hom Station).

  • Consult Others: Seek advice from friends, family, mentors, or faculty before signing up for external programmes.
