Accomodation for 2020/1
Dear Postgraduate Students,

The application of the Postgraduate House (PGH) accommodation for the 1st semester of Academic Year 2020/2021 is now opened for current postgraduate students*. Details of the PGH Student Accommodation Application for 1st semester of 2020/2021 are as follows:

PGH Residence Period: 01 Aug to 30 Dec 2020, move out by 31 Dec 2020 (14:00)
Application Period : 13 to 31 Mar 2020

* No matter if you are currently staying in our Postgraduate House or not, if you would like to occupy a bed-space in the 1st semester of 2020/2021, you are required to submit this application. We strongly advise you to submit the application if you think even there is a slight need, you may cancel if you realize there is no such need later, otherwise no application will be accepted after the deadline.

* 無論你是否現住研究生宿舍,如果2020/2021第一學期你有一絲住宿的需要,我們都強烈建議你先提交申請,你可獲批後再取消住宿。申請限期過後我們不會接受任何申請。

A. Important Points for bed space allocation:
I. Late applications will NOT be accepted. Even if students are willing to accept the penalties, SRS will not entertain.. Any decision made by SRS shall be final.
任何過期申請將不獲受理,即使同學願意接受警告處分,學生資源處亦不會接納。學生資源處將保留最終之決定權。

II. Due to the limited number of bed spaces in PGH, the University ensures bed spaces for the new non-local students in their first year of study in postgraduate programmes. The PGH applications of the other grades of postgraduate students may not be approved, particularly for those whose programmes of study are beyond the normal study period.
由於宿位有限,本校只確保第一年修讀一年級的非本地生研究生的住宿。其他年級的研究生住宿申請有可能不獲批准,尤其是超出研究生課程正常學習期限的申請者。

III. If demand for bed-spaces is more than supply, the Student Resources Section (SRS) will allocate bed spaces according to the points as below:
a. According to Article 3 of the Postgraduate House Rules, local postgraduate students have the lowest priority to be allocated for bed spaces.
b. In accordance with the PGH move-in declaration endorsed by students when making PGH application, postgraduate students who are beyond their study period also have a lower priority to be allocated for bed spaces.
c. According to Postgraduate House Point System, in case the number of applicants exceeds the number of available bed spaces of the semester, the PGH point will be considered as a reference standard. Students who with a lower points also have a lower priority to be allocated for bed spaces.

IV. For current PGH students who are staying in the single room and suite they have to move-out by 31st May 2020 (Actual date might be adjusted according to the arrangements for class resumption / 2020 Summer Stay). They have to apply for single room and suite again if they would like to stay in the same room type but subject to the availability.

Single room/suite applicants with highest PGH Points will be allocated single rooms/suites and the cut-off date of PGH points will be 17 April 2020 (23:59).
