After reading the requirements and details in the Major/Minor Study website and the requirements of the Minor
Programme, I wish to apply for taking the following Minor Programme starting from Semester 2 of 2018-19
academic year (via my Major Programme Offering Department).
I confirm that my GPA meets the minimum requirement of 2.5. My cumulative subject results and subject
registration record are attached for Minor Programme Offering Department’s consideration.
I confirm that I also meet the additional admission requirements required by the Minor Programme. Supporting
document(s) is/are attached.
(i) Application record created for consideration by Minor Programme Offering Department
on _______________________________ by _____________________
For cases with GPA below 2.5 or cases that student concerned has withdrawn the application (delete as
appropriate).
(ii) Our department confirms that the student is eligible for applying for Minor study (for advanced standing
students only).
(iv) A copy of the student’s application form and supporting documents has been sent under confidential
cover to the Minor Programme Offering Department on __________________________
by ___________________________
2. To be eligible for enrolment on a Minor, students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or above at the
time of application for Minor enrolment. There is a quota for each Minor programme and there may
be additional admission requirements. Please also check the programme document issued by your
current Programme Offering Department (i.e. Major Department) if your Major is so designed as to
preclude the possibility of a further Minor study. If necessary, please consult the Academic Advisor
of your Major Department concerned before making the application.
3. Students admitted to the advanced stage of a programme on senior year status and students admitted
to an articulation degree programme would not be given the option to study for a Minor. For
students who are admitted on the basis of advanced standing status, the programme offering
department would have indicated whether they would be given the option to study a Minor at the
time of admission, based on the merit on individual cases.
4. Students who have enrolled on a Minor are expected to complete their approved Minor as part of
their graduation requirements. Students who wish to withdraw from a Minor need to apply for
approval officially from the Minor-offering department, prior to the end of the add/drop period of
the last Semester of study, i.e. the semester that you graduate. Late application will NOT be
entertained and your graduation from the Major will be delayed.
5. Students may be allowed to count up to 6 credits from their Major (excluding “Free Elective”
subjects, if any)/GUR (including LCR subjects, etc) towards their chosen Minor. Please check the
curriculum of both the Major and Minor programmes. If the Major subjects taken are the same as
the Minor compulsory subjects, you must apply to count these subjects towards the compulsory
Minor subject requirements in order to graduate. You are required to submit the Form AS147(a)
(https://www.polyu.edu.hk/as/web/en/for-polyu-students/application-forms/index.html) to and
obtain approval from the Minor Department, as soon as possible and no later than your applying for
graduation.
6. As this is an important decision, we strongly advise you to visit the website on Major/Minor Study
(eStudent (www.polyu.edu.hk/student) > Information > General Information > 4-year curriculum >
Major/Minor Study Route) and understand the requirements and arrangements.
