According to the prevailing University Housing Policy, UGC-funded full-time non-local undergraduate students will be provided with hostel places in the University accommodation in their first year of studies. In their subsequent years of studies, students can apply for the University accommodation, subject to availability.

Remarks:

1. Non-local undergraduate students who are recipients of a Full Admissions Scholarship will be provided with University accommodation throughout their studies. This is not applicable to recipients who have been denied renewal of their scholarships by the University Scholarship Committee.

2. Different accommodation packages and fees will apply according to the availability of hostel places in the University accommodations.

Students must possess a student status of “Normal Study” as defined by the Academic Registry during the stay in the Student Halls.
