常见问答

  • How to enroll in PDEV 6770, and what are the course requirements? 

      SIS system will automatically enroll students in this course. Students only need to complete the course requirements in the HKUST(GZ) RPg Professional Development Course System (PDC system).  

      The course requirements include: 

      A. CITI Program (1 attempt, online, details see User Guide

      B. Preventing and Handling Sexual Harassment (1-hour PDC event, online, 3 registration chances) 

      C. 11-hour electives (in-class attendance required, launched irregularly) 

      - PDC events are concentrated at the beginning and middle of the term, with fewer events toward the end of the term. Please register early. 

      - Arriving 15 minutes or later will be recorded as a “no-show”.  

      - Students who accrue three no-shows within one term are unable to register for events via the PDC system in the subsequent term. 

      - Repeated completion of events with the same event code will only be recognized once. 

  • How to enroll in PDEV 6800X? Is section change allowed? 

      Students will be randomly allocated to a section of PDEV6800X in the SIS system. While these sections follow different schedules, they cover identical course content. Students who find the allocated timeslot unsuitable may apply for a section swap within the same course.  

      If there is a vacancy in the target section, the student will be enrolled. If no vacancy is available, students need to wait until another student drops the section. Section swaps must be completed before the end of the add/drop period; no section changes will be permitted afterwards. 

  • What are Hub Core Courses, and what are the course requirements? 

      Hub Core Courses refer to the courses offered by the 4 Hubs, including FUNH 5000, INFH 5000, SYSH 5000, and SOCH 5000. Students are required to complete at least two Hub Core Courses before graduation, one from their home Hub and another one from other Hubs. 

  • Can students take courses on domain knowledge in the first term? 

      In the first term, students have not yet confirmed their Prime Supervisor and Thrust. It is not advisable to take courses on domain knowledge without guidance from an academic supervisor, as this may result in a wide disciplinary gap and lower academic performance. It will also add a significant amount of workload. Therefore, it is recommended that students focus on completing other required courses in the first term and completing Thrust required courses in later terms. 

  • How to enroll in UCMP 6050? 

      In the first term after admission, students are expected to enroll in UCMP 6050 in the SIS system independently and select one class section from L01 to L22. These class sections have different timetables but identical course content, so students may choose according to their own schedule.  

      Starting from the second and third term, students do not need to complete enrollment on their own. RBM course team will complete course enrollment for students in advance.
