As you can imagine, with the situation being so unstable and changeable, it is almost certain that there will be changes to the service-learning projects in Semester Two and Summer. For students enrolled on SL subjects, your subject teachers will inform you of the subject/project arrangements, if they have not already done so yet. The contact information of the subject-offering departments can be found under "subject info" here.

The SL subjects on offer in 2019/20 Semester 2 are planned to go ahead, unless otherwise announced by the subject-offering departments. Students taking the SL subjects on offer in Semester 2 will be able to fulfil the SL Requirement as long as they pass the subject.

If there is no vacancy for the subject(s) you would like to take, you should indicate your wish to take the subject(s) via Preferred Subject Indication. Also, inform the subject teacher that you are interested, and ask him/her how you can still “sit” in the “lecture” while you wait for a vacancy to come up. And of course, you should go to class. During add/drop period, monitor the subject vacancies regularly and register yourself into the subject if a vacancy comes up.
After add/drop period, the subject-offering department will review the situation and the Preferred Subject Indication List and consider offering extra places to cater for students in the list who have legitimate reasons to take that subject within the semester (e.g. the subject is required for graduation by final year student). The concerned students will be informed for registration if there will be an increase to the quota. Just sitting in the class does not guarantee any place for later registration of the subject.

Taking into consideration of the possible impact on students' studies arising from the current situation of novel coronavirus in Hong Kong, the University will allow students to drop subject(s) after 2019-20 Semester 2 Add/Drop Period (i.e. 22 February 2020). If you have genuine needs to drop a subject of 2019-20 Semester 2 after the Add/Drop Period, you will be required to submit the late drop request to the programme offering departments by 6 March 2020 through email.
