(For Ug and TPg students)

If you are going to change your study load which leads to a change in your study mode (e.g. from full-time to part-time), your visa status may be affected.  You must seek prior approval from the Director of Immigration by following the procedures below:
  1. Seek approval from your programme offering department by submitting the relevant AR form, if appropriate (please refer to the relevant section of the Student Handbook).
  2. Once the department has approved your application, you have to seek approval from the Director of Immigration via a new student visa application.



(For Research Postgraduate students admitted from the 2018/19 cohort onwards)

Students should refer to the Research Postgraduate Student Handbook from the Graduate School on the regulations if any.
