Change of Expected Graduation Term For Undergraduate Students

1.  According to Regulation 3.2 of the General Regulations Governing Undergraduate Studies, extension beyond the normative study period should only be made within the specified application period before the commencement of the last year of attendance of the normative study period. No such application, however, shall normally be accepted after the commencement of a student’s expected graduation term.
2. The maximum study period for all undergraduates shall be the normative study period plus two years, i.e. normally six years from first registration, which shall include any periods of leave of absence and suspension of studies, but exclude any periods of compulsory military service as required by a student's nation, unless otherwise recommended by the School Board and approved by the Director of Registry Services. The maximum study period for those undergraduates who suspend their studies for entrepreneurship activities could be considered in accordance with government regulations on a case-by-case basis and subject to approval.
3. Schools will approve the student's study plan before such application is submitted to the Director of Registry Services for final approval.
4. A student admitted to CUHK(SZ) will also be registered as a student of CUHK, therefore, applicants who wish to apply for deferred graduation, should also be aware of and be subject to regulations on Degree and Other Awards stipulated in the Statutes of The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
5. A student, who is approved to extend his/her study period and can successfully graduate by the end of the expected graduation term, shall pay the tuition fees according to his/her actual enrolled credit.
