Information for HKU research students taking courses offered
by other universities:
- Students who find certain course(s) useful to their research
studies may, with the endorsement from the supervisor and the
Departmental
Research Postgraduate Committee (DRPC), apply for
taking the course(s).
-
Students should only take courses offered by other institutions
if there are no equivalent courses being offered by HKU.
-
The maximum percentage of courses that HKU students can take
from outside universities shall not exceed 50% of their departmental
coursework requirement.
- A standard form
will be used. The student should complete the application form
and submit, together with our Form
GS15 "Endorsement Form for Cross-Institution Course Enrolment"
to the Graduate School at least three working
days before the application deadline specified by the host
universities.
- The Graduate School will forward the application to the coordinating
office in the host university and students will be informed of
the result of the application by the host university.
- The host university will inform the Graduate School of the examination
result(s) of the student and the result(s) will be included in
the HKU official transcript, on a Pass/Fail
basis, despite whether a grade has been given to the subject by
the host university.
Information for research students of other universities taking
HKU courses:
- Research postgraduate students from other universities who
wish to take courses offered by HKU should complete the standard
form adopted by all institutions. They should only take courses
that are directly relevant to their field of study.
- Applicants should complete Sections I to III of the form and
obtain endorsement from the appropriate coordinating office of
the home institution, e.g. Graduate School of CUHK, ARRO of HKUST,
etc.
- For course(s) with pre-requisite requirement, applicants should
attach documents, e.g. transcripts and syllabuses, to support
their application (for Semester 2 of 2011-12, the deadline
is
January 16, 2012).
- The coordinating office of the applicant's home institution
will send the application form to the Graduate School of HKU before
the specified deadline.
- The Graduate School of HKU will seek approval from the course-offering
units on the application received. Acceptance of the student is
at the discretion of HKU and is subject to availability of places,
student quota and other pertinent factors of the courses.
- The Graduate School of HKU will inform individual student of
the result of his/her application and the confirmed timetable
before the course commences by email.
- Students are only allowed to drop any subjects within the first
2 weeks of commencement of the course.
- Students admitted to study at HKU will be officially registered
for the course as a visiting student and are required to participate
fully in the course (including completion of coursework and examinations).
- Waivers of fees will be granted to visiting students under
the scheme.
- An official letter will be issued to students for identification
purposes but no student card will be issued. Students are requested
to use their JULAC
library card to access our libraries and they
are not allowed to use our University facilities other than those
directly associated with the courses.
- Research postgraduate courses of HKU will only be
assessed on a Pass/Fail basis and
no grading will be awarded. Not all HKU courses follow
the credit system. Please consult your home institution in
case of credit
transfer. At the end of the courses, a copy of the result notification
will be sent to the home institution. The applicant is required
to give consent to authorize HKU to do that in Section III of
the application form. The decision as how the grades should be
used is at the sole discretion of the home institution.

governing postgraduate degree courses.
