Course Registration

During the first year of your study, we will pre-register all required core courses for you, i.e., you do not have to register for the required core courses yourself.

In general, if you are:

1. local students, we will pre-register the required core courses for you based on the premise that you will study in part-time mode unless you inform us otherwise.

2. non-local students, we will pre-register the required core courses for you based on the study mode (part-time or full-time) that you have indicated on your admission application.

3. Part-time Mode

   To register for elective courses or to change the courses (or sections) that we have pre-registered for you, you will have to follow the course add/drop procedure described in "Course Add/Drop".

Course Add/Drop

1. Getting started

   Please activate your Electronic ID (EID) such that you can login to the e-Portal of CityU. Once you login to the e-Portal/Blackboard, you can access “AIMS” where you can obtain various useful information including:

   1. your own timetable which lists the required core courses that we have pre-registered for you (you have to choose your elective courses by completing the Course Add/Drop Procedure), and

   2. the Master Class Schedule which lists all the courses offered by various departments in the semester.

      The Master Class Schedule and your own timetable will be released by the University in around late July / early August, 2014.11
   
   
2. Course Add/Drop Procedure

   Courses are either web-enabled (i.e., you can register for the courses on-line) or non web-enabled (i.e., you cannot register for the courses on-line and you have to follow a paper add/drop procedure).

   1. For web-enabled courses, the on-line add/drop period is from around mid-August to early September, 2014.11

   2. For non web-enabled courses, the paper add/drop period is from around early August to early September, 2014.11
