Hostel Fee

The College offers standard twin rooms only. Each resident shall pay a sum of HK$1,000 as hostel deposit which will be retained by the College. It will be refunded to the student after deduction of any amount of outstanding charges, fines and fees, free of interest, after their graduation or withdrawal from the University to be approved by the Registry of CUHK.

Refund Policy of Hostel Deposit

All College students are required to reside in one of the two hostels during their undergraduate studies:

(a) All students of the College are required to pay a refundable hostel deposit. The amount and payment due date will be announced by Student Hostel Management Committee. The hostel deposit will be refunded to students free of interest after their graduation or withdrawal from the University approved by the Registry of CUHK. 

(b) Students shall maintain their rooms and hostel facilities in good condition. All students must vacate their rooms at the end of their residency on or before the date to be decided and specified by Student Hostel Management Committee.
