!!Guidance notes

For HKU students going on exchanges:

If you would like to get credit approval for courses you take during your exchange, please note:

* Check with your faculty office about the maximum number of transfer credits you can get.
* For preliminary approval before you go on exchange, you need to provide information about the courses you intend to take.
** Information includes: course outline, workload, number of hours of lectures / tutorials / meetings per week, course readings and other relevant information.
** If you cannot provide *any* information, no preliminary approval will be given.
** It is understandable that *complete* information is often not available. Preliminary approval is always tentative and conditional upon completion of the course when you can provide such information and show that it is comparable to a HKU philosophy course.
