Notes:

  1. The immersion trip fee includes round trip transportation by train/coach/catamaran to Guangzhou, China, accommodation in a student dormitory (twin or triple room), breakfast, welcome and farewell dinners, and visit-related expenses such as admission tickets and local transportation. 
     

  2. Entry visa to mainland China, if required, and lunch and supper are at the student’s own expense.
     

  3. China visa: no visa is needed for Japanese passport holders staying less than 14 days. For other nationalities, a China visa is mandatory.  It is preferable for students to apply for the China visa on their own through the Chinese embassy in their place of residence. They may be required to show their CUHK acceptance letter and any evidence of payment. In the China sponsor section, they can write “The Chinese University of Hong Kong” and “South China Normal University”. Students can also opt to apply China visa in Hong Kong, but it may take more time to process and increase uncertainty. Please visit www.ctshk.com/english/useful/chinesevisa.htm for more information. In any circumstances, students should make sure their passport and China visa validity period covers the entire period of the China immersion trip.
     

  4. The administrative fee covers the fees for a student visa to Hong Kong, orientation and some official activities, and reading materials.
     

  5. The hostel fee at CUHK does not include a meal plan.
     

  6. All fees paid are non-refundable unless otherwise specified.  The caution money and hostel deposit will be refunded after the programme if there is no outstanding payment.
