Can I defer my study? What should I do?
Students
may apply for deferment of study if they have a genuine need to do so, such as prolonged illness or being posted to work outside Hong Kong.
Applications from students who have not yet completed the first year of
a full-time programme will be considered only under exceptional
circumstances.
Taught programme
students who wish to defer their study are required to submit the Form AR7 via eStudent with supporting documents (if applicable)
to the programme offering department after programme registration. If an application for deferment is submitted
after the start of a semester, it will be processed only after the student
settles all the outstanding tuition fees and/or other fees. The deferment period will not be
counted towards the total period of registration (or maximum period of
registration for students admitted in or before 2019/20). For more details, please refer to the section of "Deferment
of Study" in the Student Handbook for Taught Programmes.
