The Student Registration Card is a student’s personal identification document and is required to access the University’s premises and its facilities. The card’s validity period represents the normative period of study of the registered programme. However, once the student has completed his/her studies and his/her record has been changed from current student to that of graduate, the Card will in invalid immediately and the card holder can no longer use the Card to access the facilities. The Card will also be invalid once you have terminated your studies.
The Student Registration Card is University property and is not transferable. Misuse or falsification of the Card constitutes a major offence, and is subject to disciplinary action. The University may, at its discretion, require a student to return his/her Card at any time.
If you find that either the magnetic strip or the contactless chip of your Card is not working properly, you should report it to Academic Support and Examinations Section of the Registry (9/F, Knowles Building). If your Card is found to be defective, you will be issued a new card free of charge. However, if it is found to be damaged by mishandling, you will be charged HK$150.
You will be liable to a charge of HK$150 if you fail to do the following:
- (a) If you cannot return the original Card issued to you when you receive a replacement Card; or
- (b) If you cannot return the Card to your Faculty Office upon discontinuation from studies.
If you have lost your Card, you must report your loss immediately by completing a report form (http://www.ase.hku.hk) and returning it to the Academic Services Office (G04, Run Run Shaw Building). A fee of HK$150 per replacement will be charged for issuing a replacement card in 2016-2017.
