The School may pre-assign some courses that the students are required to take in a specific term before Formal Course Registration. The students may face the following risks if they drop the pre-assign course(s):
1. The course may not be offered in every term;
2. The pre-assigned course(s) may be the pre-requisite for other courses. It may have impact on course registration of other related course(s).
3. The students might not be the target students of the course when it offers.
The students can make their own study plan. However, the students should notice the risk of not following the recommended course pattern of the study scheme, such as resulting in extension of graduation.
It is strongly suggested that the students consult with their Schools or Academic Advisors before making the decision.

In order to identify students’ needs, PRE-REGISTRATION will be implemented. The course offering unit(s) will adjust the course offering plan based on the result of Pre-registration if necessary. All undergraduate students MUST participate in Pre-registration from the Second Term of Year One. In Term 1 and Term 2, students who have not taken part in Pre-registration will only be allowed to register for the courses 10 minutes after the course registration process has started. As some students are in suspension and cannot select courses during Pre-registration, this implementation is optional to them.
The result of Pre-registration is for reference only and does not imply the final result of Formal Registration.
