Course Re-registration

Step 1: Check required courses under your study programme

You should check the programme regulations (5-credit system)/programme requirements (3-credit-unit system) of your study programme to ensure the courses you wish to register can be counted towards the award of your intended programme as fulfilling the graduation requirements. Alternatively, you should make use of the online student service ‘Course Choice Advisement’ via MyHKMU.

Step 2: Check whether courses offered in current term

A list of distance learning courses currently on offer can be found on this page with the provisional class schedule of the courses as well, so that you can check if the class sections selected have timetable clashes.

Some courses may have advisory/mandatory pre-requisites, or enrolment requirements. To learn more about the details of a course currently on offer  (e.g. course contents, learning supports, assessment methods, pre-requisites, etc.), you can obtain the course description on this page by clicking the course title of the concerned course.

To plan your study, the University encourages students to check the latest course presentation schedule and the offering terms on this page (choose the credit system > click “Future Term(s)”).

Step 3: Start your course registration

Most registrations will normally be processed on a rolling basis. Once the quota is exhausted, further applications will not be accepted.

Before starting your course registration, you should note the following points in addition to the regulations stipulated in the Student Handbook .

• All course fees and/or application fee paid are not refundable nor transferable, unless the course(s) you registered is/are cancelled by the University.

• To comply with the requirements of the HKSAR Government's Office of the CEF, the University will not offer any course fee discount or deduction to students applying for 'CEF reimbursable courses'. For the Senior Citizen Card Scheme discount or others, you may read the online FAQ (Q21) for details.
• The University does not forbid its students to study in another institution at the same time (except for non-local applicants whose student visa is sponsored by the University). However, you should check with your current institution if it has any restriction on 'double registration'.
• Persons living overseas are welcome to pursue studies at the University through distance learning. However, you should read the important notes of the online FAQ (particularly Q25) before submitting your course registration.
• The University reserves the right to make any necessary changes to the programme/course, or cancel a programme/course/class if there is an insufficient number of enrolments. In every case, the University will make every effort to minimize the inconvenience caused and will give notice to the affected students of any such changes as early as possible.
• The University will provide only free electronic versions of course materials to students beginning in the 2025 Autumn Term, phasing out printed copies. Updates will be on the “Course Material Distribution” webpage of the Office for Advancement of Learning and Teaching (ALTO) (Email: hkmu_dist@hkmu.edu.hk).
