3. Settlement of University Fees/Charges
Students must settle the tuition fees and/or other fees/charges in the Consolidated e-Billing by the due dates. If, for any reasons, you are unable to pay the fees by the due dates, you may contact the Finance Office ("FO") before the due dates for assistance. Failure to pay the required fees by the due dates without prior approval from the University will result in serious consequences including withholding the issue of academic documents, de-activation of student cards and suspension of access to the University's Library/other facilities/accommodation in the student hall. You will be treated as 'UNOFFICIALLY WITHDRAWN' from the programme and your student status will be suspended with immediate effect.

Should you wish to continue your studies in the programme, you are required to pay an administration fee of HK$300 for re-activating your student status in addition to the full settlement of overdue fees. Re-instatement of the student status will not be considered for unofficially withdrawn students with prolonged overdue fees. You will be required to re-apply for admission by adopting normal procedures. You will also be required to settle the outstanding amount in your student account or penalty of loan item such as academic dress when you seek admission/re-admission or make application for academic documents to the University in future. Otherwise, applications will not be processed.
Full-time students in Undergraduate and Sub-degree Programmes/ University Grants Committee-funded Programmes are not required to apply for payment deferment if they have applied to the Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency (WFSFAA) on or before 17 October 2024 in Semester 1 and 13 February 2025 in Semester 2 for grant and loan, and/ or non-means tested loan under the Tertiary Student Finance Scheme – Publicly-funded Programmes (TSFS), Financial Assistance Scheme for Post-secondary Students (FASP), Non-means-tested Loan Scheme for Full-time Tertiary Students (NLSFT), and/or Non-means-tested Loan Scheme for Post-secondary Students (NLSPS). The FO will receive from the Student Affairs Office (SAO) a list of these students and when following up with the outstanding payments after due dates of the University fees, the FO will take into consideration of these students' financial assistance application results and the expected dates of receiving the financial assistance from the WFSFAA to extend or to make no change to the due dates accordingly. The extended due dates will then be updated accordingly in The Portal students' accounts, and students are responsible for checking their account balances and the extended due dates in The Portal from time to time after the due dates of University fees. Any students, who have applied for any financial assistance of WFSFAA after 17 October 2024 in Semester 1 and 13 February 2025 in Semester 2 and would like to apply for the payment deferment of the University fees, must send their applications through email (fees@eduhk.hk) to FO with justification for consideration.
Please note that there is no payment deferment for all part-time students. All students are advised to make financial planning with reference to the due dates of payment indicated above. FO will handle special requests from students on a case-by-case basis. Only cases in which students are facing sudden and genuine financial hardship will be considered.

Deferment of Studies If your application for deferment of studies is submitted before the start of a semester or before the completion of the first half of a semester according to the academic calendar of the programme (completed week will be used for calculation), any tuition fees paid for the deferred semester(s) will be carried forward until you resume your studies. You are required to pay a continuation fee within two weeks upon approval. For details, please refer to the "Operational Guidelines Supporting General Academic Regulations" in the Student Handbook. If your application for deferment of studies is received after the first half of a semester, the tuition fees paid for the deferred semester will not be refunded nor carried forward to the resumed semester. Tuition fees not paid for the deferred semester have to be paid upon resumption of studies. 2. Add/Drop of courses You should complete add/drop of courses within the period set by the programmes. If your tuition is charged according to the number of credits taken in the semester, you are required to pay the full tuition for any courses dropped after the add/drop period of the programmes. 3. Withdrawal of Studies You are required to pay the full tuition fees for the whole semester regardless of your date of withdrawal in the semester. 4. Extension Beyond Normal Period of Study If you have to extend your normal period of study to take outstanding course(s) to complete the programme, you will have to pay additional fees on a pro-rata basis according to the number of courses/credit points (including Field Experience) taken in the extended period of study.

Students are expected to observe the General Code of Student Conduct which spells out the expectation of students in terms of professional and personal conduct. A Warning will be issued to students whose behaviour deviates from the Code and who violate the rules and regulations of the University.
Students on receiving the Warning should improve themselves in order to meet the expectation that has been set out. If persistent misconduct is observed after the issuance of the Warning, the case will be referred to the University’s Student Disciplinary Committee for consideration, which may lead to the discontinuation of their studies.General Code of Student Conduct
The following General Code of Student Conduct is formulated to provide guidance to students during their studies at the University. Students are expected to demonstrate sound moral character together with social commitment and learning attitudes required of university graduates in addition to satisfactory academic performance. Students should be well behaved and show responsibility to the University and the community. As modern citizens, students should value and respect human rights, freedom, peace, equality and rationality, show an interest in and concern for current affairs, and participate actively in community service. Students should make every effort to uphold the honour, dignity and ethics of the educational and other relevant professions and to contribute to a harmonious learning environment. As lifelong learners, students should also strive to improve themselves to achieve personal growth and development, and to keep abreast of the latest learning and developments in their fields. 4. Breaches of Academic Honesty
Forms of Academic Dishonesty
Plagiarism: This is not just confined to copying another's words, sentences and/or paragraphs, but also means borrowing another's idea, concept or argument without proper acknowledgment. Copying from AI-generated contents without proper declaration is also regarded as plagiarism. For details, please refer to the section “Use of AI-Enabled Generative Tools without Proper Declaration”.
It is a serious academic offence in the intellectual world as it stifles creativity and originality, whilst denying you the opportunity of learning from your work. There is zero tolerance for plagiarism at any level at the University as clearly spelt out in the Policy. Even if you just copy a phrase or sentence, or borrow an idea and/or concept without proper referencing, you have already committed plagiarism, an academic theft similar to stealing. You should avoid it at all costs. Also, it does not matter what the nature of the source is. It may be a book, a magazine, a newspaper article, a table or passage from the internet, or simply a course work of another student or even teaching material distributed by your course teachers.
The most obvious form of plagiarism is direct copying without referencing. Modifying the way the author expresses his idea and passing this off as your own, that is, paraphrasing the author's idea, is another form of plagiarism though it is less explicit. Students, however, often fall prey to this form of plagiarism. Other forms may include borrowing the work of others by attaching one's name to it or the indirect borrowing of work from a secondary source cited in the original source without properly acknowledging both sources. The following example may help you to grasp the meaning more thoroughly:
In Hong Kong, women are expected to live longer than men.
(This fact has been widely known to Hong Kong people, so it is already common knowledge and there is no need to acknowledge the source.)
In Hong Kong, women outlive men. According to the statistics of the Centre for Health Protection in 2022, the average life expectancy of women is 86.8 years while that for men is only 80.7 years.
Centre for Health Protection's Major Health Indicators in 2021 and 2022. Retrieved 19 April, 2024, from (https://www.chp.gov.hk/en/statistics/data/10/27/110.html)
(When we give exact figures, unless you are the source provider, you have to acknowledge the source. If you don't do so, you commit plagiarism!)
Cheating: This mainly concerns cheating in examinations and tests/quizzes. It could be copying from notes (with the exception of open book examinations), giving or receiving assistance, altering an examination answer for re-grading, or getting the examination paper in advance.
Multiple Submissions: You are not allowed to submit one paper for two or more courses without prior approval from all the course teachers concerned. You are also prohibited from re-submitting any already assessed paper for another course, or using any part of the same without proper acknowledgement.
Impersonation / Surrogate: You must not engage anyone to take an examination or to complete a paper/coursework on your behalf, neither should you sit an examination for other nor complete a paper/coursework for other nor submit a paper/coursework in another's name.
Fabrication / Falsification: You must not fabricate data for research or provide falsified information or facts (e.g. forging medical certificates in case of absence from examinations).
Collusion: You must not work with another student in the preparation and production of work which is presented as your own or his/her own.
Use of AI-Enabled Generative Tools without Proper Declaration: If you use AI-Enabled Generative tools in the preparation of an assessment task, you must declare your use of such tools and take full responsibility for the content submitted for assessment. The acceptable use of AI varies across disciplines, subjects, and assessment tasks. Course teacher will provide this information. But it is your responsibility to check the assessment guidelines and relevant policies, and to understand what is expected of students.
Sometimes students may think that they have not committed plagiarism if their work includes only a small portion of plagiarised passages but a substantial part of their own work. This is wrong. Also, the internet provides students with easy access to various forms of academic work. Some students may think that using materials found on the internet does not constitute plagiarism as the materials are accessible by the public. Again this is wrong. You should give due acknowledgement to the author whose work you are using, regardless of the portion of plagiarised passages or sources. 8. Further Advice
You have been studying hard to become a student of higher education. Following these guidelines will help you to thrive academically and get the most from your time at EdUHK.10. Student Discipline
Students are expected to exhibit high standards of personal and professional behaviour whilst trying to maintain a satisfactory academic performance. The University places great emphasis on students' professional and personal development. Cheating in examinations, plagiarism, collusion, falsification of documents or records, impersonation, theft and any other offensive activities are strictly prohibited.
Any students convicted of an offence in a court of law will be liable to instant dismissal from the University and any students who have committed a serious offence or any proven acts of academic dishonesty/ misconduct will be liable to dismissal from the University, as determined by the Student Disciplinary Committee. Please refer to the Policy and Guidelines for Handling Student Disciplinary Matters in Chapter 4.4 of this Handbook and the Procedures for Appealing Against the Decisions of Board of Examiners for Discontinuation of Studies or the Decisions of Student Disciplinary Committee or Academic Departments for Disciplinary Actions or the Decisions of Equal Opportunities Complaint Committee in Chapter 4.5 of this handbook. Chapter 9 Student Services

Students are welcome to contact the SDTs at ulife@eduhk.hk for any questions regarding University Life Planning. 7.
