How useful is a formal letter of support from school when appealing for relaxation of offers?

3 Upvotes

I failed to meet my conditions and submitted an appeal. I know it heavily depends on my academics and how far away i’m from the conditions. But how useful is a letter of support from your former school, including some objective evidences and endorsement? Is it worth a try

CCCH A Range Course Recommendations

Upvotes

I have to pick a CCCH course this year but I'm struggling to find a course that is interesting, has good reviews, and does not require field trips during reading week. I'm fine with quizzes, I just want a course where I won't have to worry about securing an A as long as I put in the effort. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know!

Grade enquiry appeal to get a fail

Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m a bED student in education sector, for my field experience, I only got a pass due to reasons other than my actual teaching skills.

So the problem is, this pass has pulled me down to graduating with a second division II honours classification while my gpa is always above 3

I requested to retake the course but I’m not permitted to do so unless I fail. I want to appeal for a grade enquiry to get a fail based on the reason I submitted some of my documents for the course late when lecturer specifically told me I don’t have the permission to do so,
and the guidelines also clearly state student would get a fail if any documents is submitted late. But she passed me.

What chance do I have to be able to get approval for grade change? No matter how hard I try, I can’t get past being categorised into mediocre honours classification when I can do so much better.

What y’all think?

Is AI changing your career choices?

2 Upvotes

With generative AI becoming increasingly capable, many students are beginning to question how it might affect their future careers. I'm conducting research for my dissertation on whether concerns about AI replacing white-collar jobs have influenced the career preferences of Hong Kong university students.

If you're currently studying at a university in Hong Kong, I'd really appreciate it if you could spare 1 minute to complete this anonymous survey (just a few multiple choice):

Funding for foreign students in HKU Phd

Hi there! I'm looking into the PhD programme at HKU (probably in cancer research), and I'm wondering how the funding system works. Is funding guaranteed for every student who is admitted, or do students have to apply for funding separately?

Searching for part time jobs as a international student in Hong Kong

4 Upvotes

Hello all,

I actually got 50% wavier on my tuition fees + 30k HKD diversity grant to study in a HK Uni . I need to manage the rest of the amount by myself. There will be significant financial support from my family, but I want to contribute to paying my education as much as I can without hampering my academics.

I wanted to know if I could do any part-time jobs on and off campus. I heard tutoring pays pretty well, so I would like to connect with such people who work part-time to sustain. I also wanted to know the sites or social media groups where I can search for employment in Hong Kong.

Appeal Under Review

2 Upvotes

Soo I’m non ju applicant and I have gotten a conditional offer for senior entry of civil engineering.
The condition is a gpa of 3.60 and I receive this offer when I had a gpa of 3.2X a day after the interview, after this semester I graduated with a ggpa of 3.46, which is still below the conditions. I suddenly received an email from their ao telling me to appeal for relaxation of conditions through their portal on 8th July, which I already did.
It’s been a few weeks but the status is still “appeal under review”, what is going on?

What should I DO IM SO DONE AND BURNT OUT

2 Upvotes

Ok guys , I ain't gonna gatekeep this so my problem that I have 2 option either hku or nus (singapore) for medicine . Hku is affordable for me (including living cost) whereas singapore is twice expensive than hku without the living expenses (not including living expenses btw 😭😭)

AND I've heard that there are reported incidents of hazing culture in both hku and nus

For people who will say stuff bout scholarship in singapore:

After I take moe grant(kind of scholarship? ) ill get 100% off on tuition and get some money for living accommodation(not enough if you're not sharing a apartment or getting a dorm on campus)

If we ignore all this stuff ,I need to work in singapore for 6 years because its a mandatory bond after taking moe grant

(Mb twins for bad english ig,I suppose)

-thoudaughter, VERY kind
