Students do not need to apply retake for these courses. Students under 3-credit-unit system are required to submit retake application for these courses.
For students of N&HS, the School will arrange the retake of core courses for them. Students do not need to apply retake for core courses, but they are required to apply for retaking GE courses if needed.
All retake applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The approval of an application will be subject to the availability of course places, the student's class schedule, the fulfilment of prerequisite requirements and the endorsement of the School concerned. Students will be assigned to an available class section of the course they applied for, and will be allowed to swap the assigned class section according to their own schedules during the course add/drop period (Week 1 and 2 of a Term).
Results of retake applications will be finalised before the commencement of the term. Students should check if their applications are successful or not via ‘Academic Record’ and ‘Class Schedule’ on MyHKMU: courses which are successfully enrolled will be shown in the record. Courses that do not appear in the record are deemed as unsuccessful.

Application procedure of retaking courses in distance-learning mode follows the same process of retake application as described in (a)-(e) above. Courses on offer in distance-learning mode can be found in website: https://admissions.hkmu.edu.hk/dl/courses/. Upon the application is approved, the University will notify student of the registration procedure and tuition fee payment (if incurred) via email.
