About MyCUHK

MyCUHK is your one-stop portal for personalized access to various online resources from The Chinese
University of Hong Kong. It is also the primary entrance for all the services provided by CUSIS, the Chinese
University Student Information System .

MyCUHK allows single sign-on - the ability to login with a single account and access multiple applications.
You may either use your 6-digit staff id or 10-digit student id (printed on your CU Link Card) to login to
MyCUHK. Both the staff id and student id will uniquely identify you to the portal via the CWEM password.
If you were to access these applications outside of MyCUHK, you would have to login to each of these
applications separately.

MyCUHK also allows user-customization. In addition to providing commonly used applications such as
emails, announcements, helpdesk, users are able to define a unique and personal view of MyCUHK by
choosing and adding services they are interested.
