Student Registration Card

The Student Registration Card is issued free-of-charge to new students on their completion of the registration procedure.

There are four classifications of student registration cards and each bears particular function(s) for different studies:

(a)	One serves purely as evidence of your status as a registered student of this University.
(b)	One is designated for accessing Library facilities ONLY.
(c)	One is designated for accessing Library and Information Technology Services facilities ONLY.
(d)	The other is used for accessing to the Libraries, the Information Technology Services, the Institute of Human Performance, the University Health Service, and other facilities provided by the University. The card is a smart card with a contactless chip, which will be used by the University for identification purposes and will enable students to have access to facilities in the University.

Regulations for Student Registration Card

The Student Registration Card is a student's personal identification document and should be used for access to the University premises and its facilities. It will be considered invalid once you have completed or terminated your study.

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 Development and Quality Assurance 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.hku.hk/adqa) and returning it to the Academic Services Office (G04, Run Run Shaw Building). A fee of $150 per replacement will be charged for issuing a replacement card in 2013-2014.
