More about HKUST
Students who fail to maintain good academic standing in a regular term will be issued a letter of warning by the Head of Department. Students who fail to maintain this standing in two consecutive regular terms will have their records reviewed by the Department and may be required to take academic leave and have their study at the University suspended. The suspension period will last from one to three regular terms during which students may apply for re-enrollment in their program of study at the end of their suspension. If this application is approved, certain conditions may apply and the student must regain good academic standing in the term immediately following re-enrollment. Students will be required to withdraw from the University if the conditions are not met. If re-enrollment in the program is not granted by the expiry of the suspension period, the suspension will be converted to a required withdrawal from the University.
Postgraduate students who have their study at the University suspended may apply for re-enrollment in their program of study at the end of their suspension by completing an Application for Re-enrollment of Study (Form RR-27a). If re-enrollment is approved by the student's major department, certain conditions may apply and the student must regain good academic standing in the regular term immediately following re-enrollment. Students who fail to meet the conditions will be required to withdraw from the University.
If re-enrollment in the program is not granted by the expiry of the suspension period, the suspension will be converted to a required withdrawal from the University.
Non-local students are reminded to obtain an appropriate visa to study in Hong Kong before their resumption of study. Relevant information is available at Non-local Students on Immigration Requirements.
