Refers to the University's temporary measures imposing a maximum of 50% seating capacity of the venue under the COVID-19 restrictions, students who wish to join in-person have to register in advance for a place with their CityU EID email address. Places will be allocated on a first‐come‐first‐served basis.

Please find the registration link for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programmes below. A confirmation email will be sent to the registered students on 22 August afternoon. If you don't receive the confirmation email, please check your Spam folder just in case the email got delivered there instead of your inbox.

In order to further protect the health and safety of school staff and students, students have to complete a Regular Rapid-Antigen Test (RAT) before returning to school. RAT should be conducted in that morning. Please take a photo of your RAT test result for our staff checking. Students tested positive should not return to school, and should inform the school of their positive results and report to the Department of Health as soon as possible.
