You may still be under the age of 18 at the time of admission to HKU. In this case, your parent/guardian is required to sign the online consent form, without which the University may have difficulty in arranging some of the teaching and learning activities and accommodation for you.  You may refer to the section “Students under the Age of 18” at the ASE website <http://www.ase.hku.hk/> for more details in completing the online consent form. 

You will be generally treated as an adult and are expected to lead your academic and social lives in HKU as other students do. We will correspond directly with you, but not your parents/guardians, on things related to you such as course enrolment, payment status of fees, academic status, results and grades, etc. Your parent/guardian will only be contacted in emergency or other situations where potential risks are involved.
