After you arrive Changing/adding/dropping a course
If you need to change your initial study plan at your host institution, you have to revise your block credit transfer (BCT) application form, and submit it together with the new course outlines to EdUHK International Office.
As you make the changes, you may contact your Programme Leader/ Programme Office/ relevant staff in the Faculty Office, if applicable, for academic advice beforehand, particularly for cases involving matching of subject areas. To facilitate the process, you will need to indicate the reasons for the change, and provide the title of each new course together with the course code, number of credits, contact hours (timetable if any) and course outline. Also provide the course code, course title and number of credits of course(s) at EdUHK for your credit transfer application.
You don’t need approval to drop a course but it would be a good idea to discuss this first with your Programme Leader/ Coordinator/ relevant staff in the Faculty Office, if applicable, as you need to make sure your decision will not affect your full-time status at EdUHK (i.e.12 credits minimum per semester) and you can still fulfill graduation requirements. You should also check the minimum study load at your host institution set by your student visa.
Online course registration at EdUHK normally takes place in May for Semester 1 of the next academic year and in October/ November for Semester 2 of the same academic year. Look out for the relevant EdUHK announcement while you are away
