For Current Students

Successful applicants should take note of the terms and conditions and must accept the offer by submitting the acceptance letter and paying a full accommodation fee and deposit by 27 March 2023.  Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the offer.

Roommate matching is based on the survey included in the acceptance letter.  SAO will make every effort to match students with similar lifestyle habits (sleep schedules, noise tolerance, etc.) 

Students can also nominate a same-sex roommate by specifying his/ her name and students number in the survey if both have accepted the same OCA offer.  Such roommate requests must be mutual.

SAO will strive to meet requests whenever possible; however, there is no guarantee that preferred/ nominated roommates will be paired.

Not applicable

1. Application approval is subject to the availability of bed places. Submission of the application form does not guarantee an offer.
2. As bunk-beds are the prevailing provision in some room types, assignment to the upper or lower bed will take into consideration the physique of successful applicants. Subsequently, information of height and weight will be collected for the bed assignment purpose.
3. Accommodation fees shall NOT be refundable under any circumstances, including but not limited to the HKSAR Government's policies against the pandemic, undesirable roommate matching, withdrawal from university study and change of learning and teaching arrangements.

5. Residents must be active full-time undergraduate non-local students in AY2023/24.  If a resident becomes inactive/ suspended in student status or he/she has withdrawn from his/her studies during tenancy period, he/she will not be eligible to reside in OCA and should move out immediately.  However, all fees paid except deposit, after deducting any cost incurred, will not be refunded.
6. Residents shall commit to staying at the designated OCA for the whole tenancy period as stated in the application form.
7. All OCAs have laid down rules and regulations to ensure the health and safety of the residents and all successful applicants will have to agree that they understand the expectation and commit to complying when they accept the offer.
8. In case of serious breach of any rule or regulation, the concerned resident’s accommodation offer may be terminated immediately without any refund of accommodation fee. The University reserves the right to reallocate the vacated bed place afterwards.
