Study and Course Registration (Undergraduate Students)

Course Registration 

Non-local undergraduate students shall register courses on (1) Registration Day (i.e. 18 August 2026 for Year 2 or above new students, or 19 August 2026 for Year 1 new students); (2) during the add/drop period (i.e. 28 August - 7 September 2026) after consultation with the academic advisers.  Students will get the information of their advisers via the Online Reporting System in mid-August.

Students are required to meet in person with their Academic Adviser at least once a term, with one meeting scheduled before the course registration exercise each year. Otherwise, their access to the registration system will be denied.  Flexibility is allowed when students are not in Hong Kong or under special circumstances and therefore unable to meet with the Academic Advisers in person.  The students may seek advice from their Academic Adviser through other means.

Students should input and save their study plan in DegreeWorks for their academic adviser’s approval (see the details HERE) before meeting with their academic adviser.  Please refer to the orientation schedule or contact the faculties/departments directly for more details of student advising after completing the Online Reporting in mid-August.

Registration for Integrated Learning Programme (ILP)

Integrated Learning Programme (ILP) is one of the signature co-curricular programmes in the University, which facilitates students to extend their learning beyond the classroom.  With its broad spectrum of contents and interactive delivery modes, students are enabled to unlock potentials, boost confidence, make plans for life, and achieve success.  Students can develop new interests and explore learning opportunities from over 400 ILP activities each year.

The dates and timeslots above may not apply to certain students, therefore students must check their registration status to avoid discrepancies.

The quota of most ILP courses will be evenly allocated in each time slot to provide equal opportunities for students.

2. Online Add-drop – Dates & Time Slots

An additional add-drop period will be scheduled for 16 & 17 September 2026. Students can revisit the myLingnan Portal to search for remaining quotas or manage their registration. No add-drop action will be allowed after 17 September 2026 under normal circumstances. Dropping an activity after that date will only be handled with valid reasons, such as mid-term tests.

3. Integrated Learning Programme (ILP)

Through the holistic enrichment activities provided by the Integrated Learning Programme, students enjoy their university life from the transitional process of new students to becoming advanced learners during their learning journey at Lingnan.  For details on the ILP activities, please visit the ILP Website.
 

There are six learning domains in the ILP:

All Lingnan undergraduate students are required to fulfil the minimum ILP unit requirements as one of the graduation requirements.  The breakdown is as follows:

Minimum ILP Unit Requirements Upon Graduation

¹ The Senate, at its meeting held on 26 May 2026, approved the adjustment of the minimum required ILP units from 5 units to 3 units under each learning domain, while the total required ILP units remain unchanged.  This adjustment is to apply to the new cohorts admitted in 2026-27 and thereafter.

² Once students have met the unit requirement of each learning domain, the additional ILP units will be counted under Free Electives.

³ Students who have participated in and completed an approved Student Exchange Programmes (SEP) can acquire an exemption of 7.5 ILP units under Free Electives. For details, please contact the Office of Global Education.

⁴ If students cannot participate in or complete the NSO programme, they are required to obtain ILP units under Free Electives.

4) Service-Learning (S-L)

 

Service-Learning (S-L) is a pedagogy that combines academic study with meaningful community service and continuous reflection.  Active community service and global learning opportunities are two main focuses of Liberal arts education at Lingnan University.  Apart from providing research opportunities in S-L projects, innovation and entrepreneurship are important components in S-L.  Students will integrate creative problem-solving methods (like Design Thinking) in planning S-L projects, making a positive impact on local and international communities and greatly benefitting students’ personal growth and future career development.

Being recognised as a key element of liberal arts education, S-L has become a graduation requirement for all first-year undergraduate students joining Lingnan from 2016-2017 onwards.  All students complete a service project of at least 30 hours (including preparatory service training) in conjunction with an academic course that has S-L elements offered by academic departments and/or the Office of Service-Learning, or approved courses offered by overseas institutions.

Other Requirements

Attendance in Awards Presentation Ceremony and Sports Day

Students are required to attend the Awards Presentation Ceremony (or the Honorary Fellowship Presentation Ceremony) and the Sports Day at least once during the course of study at the University.  Attendance at these events will be shown as "Fulfilled" or Not Fulfilled" on the "Certificate of Awards and Participation (CAP)".
