It is necessary for applicants to supply their personal data and to provide all the information requested in the application documents, as otherwise the Colleges may be unable to process and consider their applications.

The personal data provided in this form will be used for processing your application for admission, and for registration, academic and administrative communication, alumni management and contacts, research, statistical and marketing (including direct marketing) purposes. The data will be solely handled by the HKU School of Professional and Continuing Education (HKU SPACE) / HKU SPACE Po Leung Kuk Stanley Ho Community College (HPSHCC) staff but may be transferred to an authorised third party providing services to HKU SPACE / HPSHCC in relation to the above purposes and prescribed purposes as allowed by the law from time to time.

When the processing and consideration of all the applications for a particular programme have been completed: (a) the personal information of unsuccessful candidates will be destroyed (if you have indicated to receive our promotional materials in Paragraph 6 then your contact details and opt-in consent would be retained for such purposes); and (b) the personal information of successful candidates will serve as part of the applicant's official student records and will be handled by HKU SPACE / HPSHCC staff or by staff of an authorised third party providing services to HKU SPACE / HPSHCC in relation to the stated purposes. In all such circumstances, please be assured that any personal information you supply will be kept strictly confidential. Personal data collected arising from any payment for this application may be retained as statutorily required and for processing refund, if necessary.

Successful completion of a programme offered by HPSHCC leads to an award within the University of Hong Kong system through HKU SPACE or an award by HPSHCC. The personal data provided by applicants to HPSHCC programmes, if admitted, will become the student records of HPSHCC (and for HKU awards also of HKU SPACE).

The Colleges will send urgent messages to students via Short Message Services (SMS) and supplement by other means such as email (if the need arises). It is therefore important that the mobile phone number and email address that the applicant provides are accurate. Any change should be reported to the Admissions Office immediately. Those who have genuine difficulty in receiving urgent messages via SMS should contact the Admissions Office of the respective Colleges for separate arrangements.

Use of Personal Data related to Direct Marketing

From time to time, the Colleges will send the latest updates and promotional materials to applicants / students and alumni on the availability of the programmes and courses. This will also include seminars and events, discounts and offers, clinics and other services and fund-raising initiatives. Occasionally information from our parent University and fellow HKU subsidiaries may also be sent. Various communication channels will be employed such as direct-mail, email, mobile phone and other forms of social media, by using your personal data (including, but without limitation to, your name, contact details and other information collected in your profile such as programme(s) you enrolled, your graduation year etc.). You always have the right to make subsequent changes on your choice of receiving further marketing materials by sending a written unsubscribe request (by email or by post) to the respective Colleges at any time.
