Remarks:
# The University reserves the right to make changes to the major offerings
)Students with a recognised qualification may be admitted to the University with advanced standing. Two types of advanced standing are available at CityU.
Students admitted with Advanced Standing I (ASI) (non-senior year) must achieve a minimum of 90 credit units for graduation, subject to the requirements of individual degrees/majors.
Advanced Standing II (ASII) (senior year) is available to majors with senior-year places and to local students only. Applicants are normally expected to have completed an AD/HD award with a CGPA ≥ 3.0 or an equivalent overall mark, or a credit award. Students admitted with ASII (senior year) must achieve a minimum of 60 credit units for graduation, subject to the requirements of individual degrees/majors.
The offer of ASI (non-senior year) or ASII (senior year) entry is decided by the programme-offering unit. Applicants are not required to indicate their preference at the time of application. Applicants who are unable to gain ASII (senior year) admission may be considered for ASI admission (except for BSc Architectural Studies programme).
Students admitted with ASI or ASII will not be entitled to credit transfer on the basis of qualifications attained prior to their admission to the University. Instead, students may be granted exemption from specific courses based on prior study. Credit units are not earned for exempted courses. Advanced standing entry is not available for some programmes.
