Q19. Are there any implications if I fail to complete the subject registration on the scheduled date, fail to settle my tuition fees by the payment deadline or the fee payment is rejected by the bank?
In such cases, your registration on the programme, including subject enrolment, will be declared null and void and your registration/student status with the University will be removed. The Academic Registry will inform the Immigration Department of the termination of your study at the University. This may lead to the cancellation of your student visa or refusal of your re-entry to Hong Kong by the Immigration Department. You may need to re-apply for a student visa even if your registration status is reinstated subsequently.
