V. Guidelines for Course Add/Drop

Please pay attention to the following guidelines while applying for course add/drop:
1. All add/drop applications will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis subject to the
availability of vacant places at that particular moment of system execution. Students may
submit one or more add/drop request(s) in each application. Approval will only be granted
when ALL the requests are successful.
2. The add/drop electronic system is NOT operated on a real time basis and applications received
will be processed after the daily cut-off time. The number of vacant places shown on the
system is for reference only.
3. For reasons of quality assurance and learning effectiveness, maximum and minimum student
number is set in each section/tutorial. In other words, a student could only successfully add to
a new section/tutorial if the total number of students in that section/tutorial has not reached the
maximum. Similarly, a student could only drop the original section/tutorial successfully if the
number of students in that particular section/tutorial has not fallen below the minimum.
4. When applying for course add/drop, it is your responsibility to ensure that such applications
shall not affect your fulfillment of your graduation requirements, such as the required number
of units of major core/required courses, major elective courses and make-up courses. Please
think carefully before making any applications so that your study schedule will not be affected.
Please also note that some courses may not be offered every semester.
5. Though you have already applied for course add/drop, you must continue to attend the original
section/tutorial until your application is approved. If your application is not approved, please
accept and cope with your original class schedule with maturity.
6. You can check the status of your application via your HKBU email account. If your
application is approved, remember to print out the email and/or your new timetable as a proof
of permission when you attend the new class.
7. The normal study load for an undergraduate student in a semester is 15-18 units.

Should you have any queries, please feel free to contact our office at 13/F, Shek Mun Campus

Thank you for your attention.
