TIPS ON COURSE ENROLLMENT

  1. Each student MUST attempt to enroll within the SAME tab/ window for course enrollment and suggested to make a SINGLE access to MyCUHK . Timeout will occur after 20 minutes idling.
  2. Check quota and vacancy of all related subjects through "Teaching Timetable by Subject/Department" and validate your selected classes (in shopping cart) before Course Enrollment Day.
  3. In each enrollment attempt, avoid enrolling >1 section of the same course and minimize the no. of classes.
  4. Except students admitted with Advanced Standing or admitted to Senior-year Places and those of specified major programmes, all new students will be pre-assigned a course code PHED1000 under CUSIS. These students MUST replace PHED1000 by using “swap” function to register a required Physical Education course listed in the teaching timetable. New students admitted with Advanced Standing or admitted to Senior-year Places may select a required PHED course in either 1st term or 2nd term of their first year of attendance, therefore they will not be pre-assigned with PHED1000. A maximum of 1 Physical Education class (prefix: PHED) can be put in the shopping cart. The enrolled must be dropped before adding another one.
  5. For undergraduates, each student can enroll 2 PHED courses in the whole curriculum. The extra PHED course enrolled will be removed without notice.
  6. For undergraduates in each academic term, a maximum of 2 University GE classes (prefix: UG) can be put in the shopping cart. The enrolled (including waitlisted) must be dropped before adding another one.

3. FAQs

1. What are “Subject” and “Catalog Number”?

“Subject” and “Catalog Number” come together will make up course code. For example, for course BIOL 1001, “BIOL” is “Subject” and “1001” is “Catalog Number”.

For example, class number “445” can be representing the class CHEM 2320-A in 2010-11 Term 1 and representing the class BIOL 2010-B in 2010-11 Term 2. You can find the Class Number of each class when viewing the class details in CUSIS.

In the “Swap Classes” function, student can swap an existing enrolled class with another class within the same term (ie only remove the existing classes when the target classes is enrolled). The target class to be swapped should be different enroll course. (eg CHLL2222 to ENGG1000 or CHLL2222 Section A to Section B (both are lecture section))

The original class will not be dropped until there is vacancy for the target class and the student is enrolled in it. The load of the waitlisted course is counted towards the student’s maximum term load. Any additional enrollment will exceed the maximum term load.

If you want to keep the lecture and only swap the tutorial, you have to use 'Update Classes' function.
