Lockers |
The Accommodation Committee commissioned a Working Group to review the provision of student lockers on campus in a smarter and more innovative way to cater for the versatile needs of students. It endorsed the installation of around 800 e-lockers in strategic locations of the Main Campus and the Centennial Campus in September 2019 as the first phase of the project. All HKU students with a valid HKU Portal account are eligible to use e-lockers. E-lockers are for temporary storage up to a maximum of 7 consecutive calendar days and the rental fee is $1 per hour. Renting of the e-locker is on a first-come-first-served basis and is supported by the mobile app “uLock@hku”. A number of the existing traditional lockers will be available for application by full-time undergraduate students for longer term use of up to one academic year. Students will be invited via bulk email in September to apply for the traditional lockers by a central application system by random ballot. Students are required to pay a nominal fee for usage of both e-lockers and traditional lockers. The fees paid by students will be used to subsidize the daily operation, maintenance and cleaning of both types of lockers. Detailed information on application and usage of e-lockers and traditional lockers is available at the website of the Academic Support and Examinations Section at http://www.ase.hku.hk. |
