Points to note
1. Accommodation fees must be paid in full by the specified deadline, and all paid fees are non-refundable.
2. Once the accommodation period and payment are confirmed, no refunds will be given for late check-in or early withdrawal. Residents who move out early will be considered to have used their accommodation for the entire period.
3. After the hall fee payment, if a notice to relinquish the accommodation place is submitted before the start of the accommodation period (1 September 2025), an application fee of $800 will be charged.
Accommodation Period
The accommodation period generally runs from 1 September 2025 to 30 June 2026 (a total of 10 months).
*The accommodation period and fees for students studying at SHAPE or WMG may be adjusted according to their study periods.
Arrangement for Accommodation Fees
Upon confirmation of accommodation, a one-time payment of the full accommodation fee is required, covering the period from 1st September 2025 to 30th June 2026 (10 months).
* If a resident is assigned a hall place in September 2025 or later, his/her accommodation fee will be calculated proportionally based on the check-in date.
A refundable deposit of HK$1,000 will be charged in addition to the accommodation fee. The deposit will be refunded after completion of the committed residence period and check-out procedure, less any restitution charges for any damage or loss of hall property caused by the resident.
Refund of deposit
After the resident has completed the check-out procedure and settled all outstanding fees, the accommodation deposit will be refunded. If the resident fails to settle any outstanding fees on the day of check-out, the unpaid amount will be deducted from the deposit, and the resident will only receive the remaining balance of the deposit (if applicable). The resident needs to fill out an online check-out form before leaving to arrange for the refund of the deposit.
Non-local residents can apply for a refund via telegraphic transfer (applicable to non-local residents only):
The residence hall can arrange for a direct telegraphic transfer to the resident's overseas bank account. However, all bank charges and fees associated with the telegraphic transfer will be borne by the resident and will be deducted directly from the refund. In addition, the exchange rate used by the bank to convert Hong Kong dollars to the resident's local currency may also affect the final amount of the transfer. The Halls will not be responsible for any bank charges or currency conversion losses incurred through telegraphic transfers. If the resident chooses to receive the refund via telegraphic transfer, it is important to provide the residence hall office with the bank account information capable of receiving telegraphic transfers. Telegraphic transfer refunds may take more than six weeks and may vary depending on the country and currency involved.
