Some University Regulations and Programme Regulations 大學及課程規則(部分) |
|
You are required to take note of the student handbook and University Calendar which guide you during your studies in our programme. The followings are some regulations for your easy reference. |
|
| |
Adding and Dropping Courses |
| A student who wishes to add or drop a course or change a course or section of a course after registration must complete a prescribed form obtainable from Department. The deadline is two weeks after the beginning of the term concerned. Please note that your application for the adding/dropping courses may not be approved if the class reaches to its full capacity or other valid reasons. |
|
| |
Course Registration |
| You are required to check your course registration on the WebCT at the beginning of each term. If you have submitted the application for adding/dropping courses in the first 2 weeks of the class, please check the course registration record on the WebCT after the add/drop period. |
|
| |
Leave of Absence |
| Leave of absence may be granted for a maximum period of 12 months. Any periods of leave of absence taken shall be included as part of the period of study. |
|
Plagiarism
In order to tackle plagiarsim, the Department makes it mandatory for students to sign a Declaration regarding the Absence of Plagiarism for each of our courses. Every written assignment in the same course will carry a separate declaration form as the cover pages. Please download the declaration form at : http://www.ln.edu.hk/cultural/Declarationform.pdf

Retaking Course(s) with a C+ or lower with effect from the 2008-09 academic year
- Only the final grade obtained for a course retaken shall be counted in the Cumulative GPA, and only the credits for the final attempt shall be counted towards fulfillment of graduation requirements.
- A student who has passed a course with a C+ or lower grade shall be allowed to improve the grade by retaking the course.
- Only two courses can be retaken for improving course results.
- A course can be allowed to be retaken only twice in all, whether to recover a failure or to improve course results.
- For retaking a course to improve results, if the course is an elective, the student may take it or take another elective.
- The low or failure grades of the first attempt (or second attempt if any) will still be shown on the transcripts.
- A student shall be charged additional tuition fees for retaking a course. A student may retake a required passed with grade C+ or below or take a substitute course (for elective course only) approved in writing (form) by the Academic Unit concerned. Students are required to register the substitution with the relevant programme office prior to commencement of the term (e.g. before the deadline of add/drop period). Our programme requires students to pay in 4 installments in the first 2 years and take a maximum of 10 courses (including retakes) within 3 years, while passes in 8 courses are required as a graduation requirement. We should follow the same principle by charging students for the 2009-10 intake and thereafter tuition fees for retaking courses, though the programme could allow students to take extra courses for enrichment of knowledge.

Review of Grades and Reassessment
|
| Appeals must be made within 5 working days from the release of preliminary examination results. For details, please visit the Registry’s web page http://www.ln.edu.hk/reg/forms.html |

If the tuition fee and the penalty are not paid within ten days from the due date, the student is considered to be unofficially withdrawn and must secure approval for re-admission. In some special cases payments may be delayed without penalty upon proper recommendation from the Director of Student Services and approval from the Comptroller. |
