Will the units of CE courses be counted into the course load of each term?

From Academic Year 2022-23 Term 1, the units of CE courses will not be counted in terms of the course load restrictions for each term and each academic year.  Students can enroll in CE courses without applying for exceeding course load.

What should senior students do if they have fewer than 9 units left to satisfy the graduation requirement in the final term?

Students may submit reducing course load application in SIS. Major Programme/School and the Director of Registry Services will process the application according to the actual situation of the students. Students should make their study plans in accordance with the study scheme and their actual situation carefully.
