Important Notice before making PGH application:

  • Due to the limited number of bed spaces in PGH, the University ensures bed spaces for the new non-local students in their first year of study in postgraduate programmes.  The PGH applications of the other grades of postgraduate students may not be approved, particularly for those whose programmes of study are beyond the normal study period. The Student Resources Section allocates bed spaces according to the bed spaces allocation priority sequence stated in the PGH Rules. In addition, PGH point will also be considered as a reference standard. Students who with a negative points also have a lower priority to be allocated for bed spaces.
  • Besides the submission of PGH application, students is also required to acknowledge the PGH Move-in Declaration. The PGH application will be completed only after the submission of the declaration.
  • Students must approach PGH to perform the move-in procedure in person starting from the approved move-in date. If students are not able to move in within 14 days of the approved move-in date, there will be no bed space reserved for arrival.

  • Starting from academic year 2018/2019, students can only stay in single rooms and suites for one academic year (i.e., from summer stay (Jun) to 2nd semester (May)). No matter which month students move in the single rooms or suites, the single rooms and suites (including medical reasons) will be reallocated all over again in Jun every year.
  • Currently single rooms and suites are fully occupied. When there are available bed spaces, vacancies will be opened for application. In general, only one room change application will be open for each semester, the specific date will be subject to the announcement in due course. If the number of applicants is more than our number of vacancies, the Postgraduate House point system or lucky draw will be adopted to determine successful applicants. Any room changing request received before/after the room changing application period will not be entertained.
  • Married couples are eligible for suites only if both individuals are registered UM postgraduate students. If any one of the individuals does not continue registering as UM postgraduate student, the married couple shall move-out from the suite. The individual who is still registering as UM postgraduate student will be assigned to a bed space in a shared room.
