Notes

1. If you fail to complete the above by the deadline, some support services, such as special examination arrangements, will not be arranged in that same semester due to the processing time required. Accommodations for the next semester will be arranged as normal. Students with SEN are strongly encouraged to register as soon as possible.

2. Please see the Specialist's Report Form template for your reference. This form is intended to be an easy-to-follow template form for specialists to fill in, especially for students that are recently diagnosed / needs to have an updated report. It is not compulsory. If you have medical documents that fulfilled the requirement set out in the Guidelines on Documentary Evidence (see above), you do not need to submit this form.

3. Your HKU email address will be main communication channel. Please check your email regularly and inform SEN Support immediately when there are any updates in your contact or personal information. Not doing so may result in missing system generated emails on appointment booking, and thus missing the deadline. 

4. If you would like to apply for special timetabling arrangement for your examinations, you must complete the registration procedure and raise your concerns to your case manager by 10 February 2025. Please note that such request has to be supported by documentary evidence.
