Student Registration Card

The Student Registration Card is issued free-of-charge to new students on their completion of the registration procedure. The card serves as evidence of your status as a registered student of this University and is used for access to the Libraries, the Information Technology Services, the Institute of Human Performance, the University Health Service, and other facilities.

Regulations for Student Registration Card

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 be 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 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 $150.

You will be liable to a charge of $150 if you fail to do the following:

(i)	if you cannot return the original Card issued to you when you receive a replacement card; or
(ii)	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/doc/ApplicationForReplacementCard.pdf) and returning it to the Academic Services Office at G04, Run Run Shaw Building. A fee of $150 per replacement will be charged for issuing a replacement card in 2015-2016.
