1. Courses form excluded combinations with other courses. Only one of the courses of the excluded combinations can count towards an OUHK award. Students should refer to the list of excluded combinations for details.
    
2. Courses presented in full time face-to-face mode. They are identical to courses with the same course code but without the suffix “F”. For example, BUS B100 and BUS B100F are the same except for the mode of delivery. Students who have successfully completed courses presented in full time face-to-face mode are not allowed to take the same courses in the distance learning mode, and vice versa.
    
3. IT E150, MATH S121, COMP S201, COMP S263, COMP S269 and COMP S359 have replaced their older version. Successful completion of the older version will be considered as completion of the newer version; i.e.
   

   IT E150 = IT L150
   MATH S121 = MATH S111 = MATH S101 (MATH S101 can only be counted as 10 credit against the programme requirements)
   COMP S201 = COMP S210
   COMP S263 = MATH S261
   COMP S269 = COMP S268
   COMP S359 = COMP S358 = COMP S357

4. Courses no longer available.
    
5. If students have successful completed IT S101F, they are deemed to have satisfied the requirements for IT S102F and IT S103F.
    
6. If students have successful completed BUS B100/BUS B100F, they are deemed to have satisfied the requirements for BUS B103/BUS B103F.
    
7. If students have successful completed BIS B121/BIS B121F, they are deemed to have satisfied the requirements for BIS B123/BIS B123F.
    
8. ENGL E100 has been replaced by ENGL E110 and ENGL E120. If students have successful completed ENGL E100, they are deemed to have satisfied the requirements for ENGL E110 and ENGL E120.
