Admission Policy of Student Residential Hall

1. Student Residential Halls are more than just a place to live; they are an essential component of the College’s education system. By providing a platform for integrating students’ social and intellectual lives, they offer a unique opportunity for students’ full development.
2. Hall members are expected to cultivate independence and engage in close interactions with fellow students from diverse backgrounds within their Hall. Active participation in various Hall activities is strongly encouraged, as it fosters the development of personal abilities such as leadership, communication, social skills, and intellectual prowess.
3. For students without Hall experience, including new HKCHC entrants, the merit score considers academic and non-academic achievements, expected contribution to Hall life, match with the Hall’s style, and performance interview. For students with prior hall experience, additional criteria will be considered, such as observing hall rules, showing responsible and respectful behaviours, and other factors deemed appropriate by the Hall.
