To strengthen environmental awareness in alignment with the University's ESG policy, the University will provide only free electronic versions of Course Materials to students enrolling in Distance Learning (DL) courses with effect from the 2025 Autumn Term. *Students can access the e-version of these materials on the Online Learning Environment (OLE)<\/a> and print the content themselves.<\/p>

Meanwhile, if students require full set of the Course Booklets for learning, the University will provide the transitional Print-on-demand Service, in replacement of mass printing and distribution of Course Booklets for students. The printing and mailing fees will be borne by the student using the service. For more details, please refer to Print-on-demand (POD) service<\/a>.<\/p>

Also, students can access the printed version of the Course Materials at HKMU Library<\/a> and selected Hong Kong Public Libraries<\/a>.<\/p>

*Provision of printed version of Course Materials for inmate students remains unchanged.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
