Active Citizenship and Engagement Leaders Scheme (ACE Leaders Scheme) aims to encourage HKBU undergraduate students to participate and take the lead in projects on leadership enrichment, citizenship and integration experience organized or endorsed by the Leadership Qualities Centre (LQC) of the Office of Student Affairs (OSA).
Within the Academic Year (AY), participating students are required to obtain a score of 35 scores in the Category of Leadership Enrichment from the Elementary Track (Mandatory and/or Extra Credits) to become ACE Member. Students are encouraged to attempt the Categories of Citizenship and Integration Experience from the Bonus Track to achieve recognitions i.e. ACE Leader (GOLD) and ACE Leader (STAR), and to be eligible for exclusive rewards.
Eligibility:
All HKBU undergraduate students from UGC-funded programmes
Outline:
Students will be automatically enrolled in the scheme after joining LQC activities. To acknowledge and reward students for their achievements during the year, progress report will be handled by Staff-In-Charge of the programmes. Students are also responsible to keep the proof of achievement.
Students can participate in the scheme in the new academic year during their study term at HKBU. They can be re-enrolled in the Scheme, but the scores obtained could not be carried forward to the next academic year.
