Composition Fee

Print
For 2013-2014, the tentative composition fees for first-year part-time students are as follows:

BNurs    $1,250 per credit (subject to Council’s approval)

In addition to the composition fee, all new students have to pay the caution money ($350).

All students will receive a soft copy of the student invoice concerning payment of University fees (e.g. composition fee) by way of an e-mail attachment to their @hku.hk e-mail account from the new Student Information System (“SIS”), and should pay the sum specified on or before the invoice due date.  Students who have provided their mobile phone numbers in the SIS will receive a SMS message in parallel.  The soft copy of the student invoice is also available for download through the SIS system.

It is important to retain the transaction advice generated from the bank machines (or print out the acknowledgement of bank payment reference number if using internet banking) as your proof of fees payment as this is required for processing your Student Registration Card and for record purpose.

Please take note of the following important points:

(a)  
You must ensure that you input the correct “Bill Account No.” as specified in the student invoice when making payment.

(b) Payment-by-Phone Service (PPS) is not applicable for new students making first-time fee payment. Please refer to the instructions as stipulated at the end of the student invoice for other payment methods.

(c) A part-time student who wishes to be a member of the HKU Students’ Union (HKUSU) is required to pay the membership fee of $240 (entrance fee: $100 and annual subscription: $140). Please contact the Finance and Enterprises Office for payment.

(d) A student is liable to pay the annual composition fee even though he/she withdraws from studies later in the academic year.

(e) University fees, once paid, cannot be refunded.

(f) If, for any reason, you are unable to pay fees by the due date, you must contact the Centre of Development and Resources for Students (CEDARS) before the due date to apply for permission to defer payment.

(g) A student who has not paid his/her fees within 30 days after the due date shall be de-registered and shall be prohibited from using University facilities and services. To subsequently re-instate student status, the student will have to pay a surcharge of 10% of the outstanding fees, or $500, whichever is the lesser. The student may additionally be required to compensate the University for any loss of interest for any late payment or non-payment of fees.
