Students would receive a soft copy of the student invoice in mid-October 2014 by way of an email attachment from the Student Information System (“SIS”), if there is a balance of the first instalment, and pay the sum specified on or before the invoice due date. The soft copy of the student invoice is also available for download through the SIS system.
In addition to the normal e-mail with a copy of the invoice attached to be sent to the students’ University e-mail account, a message will also be sent by SMS to the students’ Hong Kong mobile phone numbers (as registered by students in the SIS) at the same time informing that a HKU invoice has been issued and the due date of the invoice.
Please note that| (a) | the first instalment of Composition Fees is payable at the time of acceptance of an offer of admission; |
| (b) | once an offer of admission is accepted, a student is liable to pay the Composition Fees; |
| (c) | once paid, the Composition Fees cannot be refunded; |
| (d) | unless permission to defer payment of the Composition Fees has been obtained in advance from the Centre of Development and Resources for Students, a student who has not paid his/her fees within 30 days after the due date shall be de-registered and be prohibited from using University facilities and services. For student status to be reinstated, the student shall 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. It is therefore important for students to settle payment on time. |
| (e) | students should follow the instructions as given in the student invoice for making payment and must input the correct “ Bill Type” and “Bill Account No.” as specified in the student invoice for payment. |
| (f) | students should also retain the transaction advice produced from the bank machines (or print out the acknowledgement of bank payment reference number if using internet banking) as their proof of payment. |
