Application Result
All applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Approval of an application will depend on the following factors:
Results will be finalized before the term starts (i.e. 12 January 2026). Students whose applications are approved will be assigned to an available class section of the course they applied for. Successfully enrolled course(s) will appear in your 'Academic Record' and 'Class Schedule' on MyHKMU . Students whose applications are unsuccessful will be notified by email.
Class Section assignment for approved retake courses
The class section assigned for approved retake courses will depend on the availability of course places in individual class sections and the student's class schedule. Once a class section is assigned, requests for class section changes will NOT be entertained. Students who cannot swap retake course class sections directly on the system may raise requests to the Enrolment Team (Undergraduate), Registry by email (regftae@hkmu.edu.hk) and indicate the exact class section you request to swap to. Please note that only requests involving timetable clash will be entertained.
Course Available to Retake
You can check the list of available courses during the specified term here (5-credit / 3-credit-unit) prior to submitting an application. Kindly note that this information is tentative and subject to change. Additionally, some courses may not be available for retake students, even if they are offered in the upcoming term. If your intended retake course is not included in the list, you should contact the course-offering School for details.
Credit Load
You may refer to the General Requirement (5-credit system or 3-credit-units system) for the minimum and maximum credit load for full-time undergraduate programmes.
It is also recommended that you review the “Advice on Course Selection” (or the special study plan provided by the University) before submitting your retake applications.
Retake of University’s Core Values Modules (for 5-credit system only)
If you have failed UNI A001BW, UNI A002BW, UNI A003BW or UNI A004BW, the University will automatically assign these module(s) in the next offering term for you, in other words, no retake application is required. The enrolment for these module(s) will appear in your “Academic Record” or “Class Schedule” on MyHKMU at the start of the term. If you are required to retake these module(s) but cannot view the enrolment status on MyHKMU by the start of the term, please contact the Enrolment Team (Undergraduate) at regftae@hkmu.edu.hk for enquiries.
Arrangements for N&HS Students (except BSCHMLSJ1)
For N&HS students, except those enrolled in the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Medical Laboratory Science (BSCHMLSJ1), the retake of core course(s) will be arranged by the School. Students do not need to submit a retake application. However, you must apply to retake any General Education (GE) courses as needed. Please refer to your programme requirements to determine whether you need to complete these courses.
Distance Learning Options (for 5-credit system only)
Students may consider taking equivalent distance-learning (DL) courses to replace failed undergraduate or sub-degree courses, if applicable. The application process is the same as outlined above. Courses offerings in distance-learning mode can be found at: https://admissions.hkmu.edu.hk/dl/courses/. Once you have been approved to take the equivalent DL course(s), you will be notified of the registration process and any applicable tuition fee incurred, via email. Failure to complete registration procedure by the deadline will result in cancellation of your application.
Non-local students
Non-local students must hold a valid student visa / entry permit to take courses at the University. For details on renewing or extending your student visa, please refer to the website for Visa Matters for Continuing Students. If you have any questions, please contact the Admissions Team (Undergraduate) at 3120 2589 or via email at regadmug@hkmu.edu.hk.
Tuition Fee
Any tuition fees incurred from retaking courses will be billed via a debit note after the add/drop period. You must settle the balance before the stipulated deadline to avoid de-registration from the University. Further details of tuition fee arrangements can be found on the tuition fees webpage (For students whose courses are under the 3-credit-unit system) or (For students whose courses are under the 5-credit system).
If You Missed the Retake Application Period
