The Postgraduate Halls (PGH) consist of six buildings, Jockey Club Postgraduate Hall (PGH 1), Chiangˇ¦s Building (PGH 2), Inter-University Hall (IUH) - PGH 3 and PGH 4 to 6, offering 1,000 hostel spaces. Around 70% of hostel places are allotted to existing residents and the remaining 30% to new applicants. Hostel accommodation is considered on a yearly basis and all postgraduate students, include existing residents, who want to apply for residence in 2009-10 academic year, should have tendered their application before 29 May 2009. Postgraduate students taking full-time Research programmes or full-time UGC-funded Taught programmes are eligible to apply for residence at the Postgraduate Halls.

In view of the current shortage in hostel places, no on-campus accommodation can be provided for students taking Self-financed Taught programmes or Part-time programmes.

Since demand may be greater than the total number of hostel spaces, accommodation is considered on a yearly basis and there is no guarantee of accommodation or staying in the postgraduate hall for the whole normative period of study. The existing residents may need to draw lots to decide whether they can stay in PGH or not as the new applicants.

Please note that continuing students (extending beyond the normative period of study) are no longer eligible to apply for postgraduate hostels, and are recommended to contact the Incoming Students Section, Office of Student Affairs (isso@cuhk.edu.hk) for information regarding off-campus accommodation.

All applicants will not receive individual notification of the results. Please refer to ˇ§Procedures for Postgraduate Halls Allotment 2009-10ˇ¨ for details. Non-local applicants are advised to visit our homepage http://www.pgh.cuhk.edu.hk and check for hostel application results and availability of rooms at least one month prior to arrival. For enquiries, please send e-mail to enquiry@pgh.cuhk.edu.hk

All applications submitted after the deadline of 29 May 2009 will be handled as ˇ§Late Applicationsˇ¨, and be processed only after the allotment of normal applications and waiting list applications are completed. Hence, late applicants will only be informed of hostel place when there is vacant room. Please note that NO temporary/guest room is available for students at the Postgraduate Halls.

Announcement regarding late applications will be made later.
