Student Registration Card
The Student Registration Card is the property of the University of Hong Kong and is not transferable. This Card is issued free‑of‑charge to new students on their completion of the registration procedures. It is a student's personal identification document and should be carried with you at all times for access to University facilities.
Regulations for Student Registration Card
The Student Registration Card is a student's personal identification document and should be used for access to University premises and its facilities.
The Student Card is University property and is not transferable. Misuse or falsification of the Card constitutes a major offence, and is subject to disciplinary action. The University may, at its discretion, require a student to return his/her Card at any time.
If you find that either the magnetic strip or the contactless chip of your Card is not working properly, you should report it to Academic Support and Examinations Section (9/F, Knowles Building). If your Card is found to be defective, you will be issued a new card free of charge. However, if it is found to be damaged by mishandling, you will be charged HK$150.
You will be liable to a charge of HK$150 if you fail to do the following:
- if you cannot return the original Card issued to you when you receive a replacement Card; or
- if you cannot return the Card to your Faculty Office upon discontinuation from studies.
Application for New Student Registration Card
The Student Registration Card is issued free-of-charge to new students on their completion of the registration procedures. Students MUST complete the online Master Registration first before they can submit the photograph and supporting documents for the production of their Student Registration Card.
There are 2 methods of submitting photo and documents for a new Student Registration Card:
- for research postgraduate students and exchange/visiting students by submitting paper form; and
- for undergraduate/taught postgraduate students via HKU Portal ‑> SIS Menu ‑> Self Services ‑> Student Document Upload
There may be some exceptional cases and students will be notified in advance of which method to use.
An acknowledgment email will be sent to students’ HKU email account once the Student Registration Card is ready for collection. Student should come to collect the card according to the specific date, time and venue printed on the email.
Procedures for Extending the Student Registration Card
Students do not need to apply for a new card due to the reason of extended candidature. Your home faculty will inform Academic Support and Examinations Section (ASE) for the issuance of your new Student Registration Card after the confirmation of extension and an acknowledgment email will be sent to your HKU email account once your Student Registration Card is ready for collection.
Replacement of Lost/Damaged Card
With effect from December 12, 2017, if students have lost or damaged their Card, they should apply for a replacement of Student Registration Card online via HKU Portal:
HKU Portal ‑> SIS Menu ‑> Self Services ‑> Report Lost/ Damaged Card
A fee of HK$150 per replacement will be charged for a replacement card.
Collection of Student Registration Cards
