Important Information for the Start of New Academic Year 2020-21

Dear Student,

Please be informed of the following important information in relation to the start of new academic year and course enrolment under CUSIS.

1.

Update personal information in “Profile” tile under CUSIS

All students should review their own personal information under CUSIS, and update them whenever necessary, since the University may need to contact you by mail/phone in some urgent occasions.

For students who are going to graduate in 2020-21, please be reminded that upon graduation, students' personal data will be converted to alumni data for further communication and other purposes, where applicable.

2.

Check ‘My Academics’ in “Profile” tile under CUSIS

For students who have applied and been approved for declaration/change of major or study period with effect from 1 August 2020, they should check carefully under CUSIS ‘My Academics’ whether the records have been updated.  Besides, other students should also check carefully their expected term of graduation.  If there are any discrepancies, they MUST contact RES for clarification.

3.

1^st Term Teaching Timetable

Students may logon CUSIS and use any one of the following system functions to check the timetable information: (i) Class Search, (ii) Browse Course Catalog and (iii) Teaching Timetable by Subject/Department.  By using the system function (iii), students can enquire BOTH course registration and teaching timetable information on the same page.  The teaching timetable information will be updated on a periodic basis, i.e. every Tuesday and Friday until 7 August for 1^st term teaching timetable.  Please note that the teaching timetable for 2^nd term 2020-21 will be released around mid-October 2020.  Further e-mail notification will be sent nearer the time.

Students should pay special attention to “Teaching Mode” and “Class Notes” listed on the Teaching Timetable before course registration.  For details on how to enquire such information, please refer to the information on “1^st Term Course Registration and Add/Drop 2020-21”.  Information on “Teaching Mode” will be posted on CUSIS Teaching Timetable from 4 August.

For this academic term, most classes will adopt online teaching but some classes with strong pedagogical reasons have been approved to have face-to-face teaching mode or mixed-mode teaching by the University.  Please inform course teachers after course registration if you cannot attend physically the face-to-face teaching.
