Declaration

1. I understand that hostel accommodation is considered on a yearly basis and there is

no guarantee of accommodation or staying in the same room for the whole normative period of study (change of room within a year may be required if there are special needs). I have to submit separate applications as required by the Postgraduate Halls (PGH) General Office if I wish to stay at the Postgraduate Halls in the academic year 2018/19. The result will depend on the Criteria of Selection set for 2018/19 and availability of places accordingly. I understand that if I have submitted my application for 2018/19 residence and the result is successful, I should pay the hostel fees up to 31 July 2018. If I withdraw before 31 July 2018, it will be regarded as withdrawing from the 2018/19 application and the allotted hostel place will be given to the applicants on the waiting list and my application fees will be forfeited. I understand that the hostel fees are subject to annual review and approval by the University. I also note that postgraduate students who are beyond the normative study period in or before July 2018 will NOT be eligible to apply for hostel accommodation (including couple room) for the academic year 2018/19, and will be asked to leave the hostel once their status become “continuing”. Couple room residents first reside in 2017/18 MUST both be current students (still within normative period of study) in 2018/19 in order to be eligible to apply for couple room residence next year.

2. I understand that I have to commit to hostel accommodation by academic term

with allowance to pay the hostel fee by monthly instalments. The academic year will be divided into three terms: 1 August to 22 December 2017, 1 January to 31 May 2018, and 1 June to 18 July 2018. I have to pay the hostel fee until the end of the term although I leave the hostel in the middle of the term.

3. I understand that if I want to withdraw from the hostel in the subsequent term, I

must tender the “Hostel Withdrawal Notification and Request for ‘Hostel Deposit’ Refund” form to the PGH Office before the deadline of the terms: 20 November 2017 or 20 April 2018. If I do not tender the withdrawal form before the deadline, I will be regarded as choosing to live in the hostel in the subsequent term and have to pay up to the end of the subsequent term.

4. I understand that only residents with special reasons such as graduation, internship,

exchange and medical condition can apply for exemption from paying for the whole term. I have to submit the “Application for Exemption from Commitment of Term Hostel Accommodation” form and the “Hostel Withdrawal Notification and Request for ‘Hostel Deposit’ Refund” form to the PGH Office before 20

th of the

previous month. Late submission of the two forms will result in forfeiting the $3,500 deposit.

5. I understand that the 2017/18 hostel year will end on 18 July 2018 (Wednesday).

If I am going to graduate in July 2018, or withdraw from my study, or my status has become “continuing” by end of July 2018

#, or fail to apply for 2018/19 hostel

accommodation, I will submit the “Withdrawal Notification and Request for Hostel Deposit Refund” form to the PGH General Office by 20 June 2018 and will check out the latest by 18 July 2018 12:00 noon. The amount of hostel fees I pay will cover only the first 17 days of accommodation in July 2018.

Continuing students are not eligible to stay at PGH nor apply for hostel next year. Students whose normative period end by

THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG

Hall Regulations for the Residents of Postgraduate Halls Effective in August 2017

I. Preamble

Living in hostel is regarded as part of the learning process in the University as students may learn

a great deal through their group activities. Hostel life not only gives students more opportunities

to help one another, but also more chances to develop their intelligence, emotions and social

abilities, thus fostering in them a sense of respect for the privileges of others, as well as a sense of

personal responsibility.

II. General Guidelines

Hostel Fee and Payment

(1) All residents have to commit to hostel accommodation by academic terms but payment can

be submitted monthly. There are three terms in an academic year*. Residents who want

to withdraw from the hostel in the subsequent term must tender the “Hostel Withdrawal

Notification and Request for ‘Hostel Deposit’ Refund” form to the PGH Office before 20th

of the previous month of the end of the term**

. If residents do not tender the withdrawal

form, they will be regarded as choosing to live in the hostel in the subsequent term and have

to pay up to the end of the subsequent term.

(2) Residents with special reasons such as graduation, internship, exchange and medical

condition can apply exemption from committing to hostel accommodation by academic term

and pay until the end of the leaving month. They have to submit the “Application for

Exemption from Commitment of Term Hostel Accommodation” form and the “Hostel
