Our University encourages students and peers, teachers and academic staff, parents and the public to recognize, accept and respect students with individual differences and special educational needs. We can learn more about different kinds of disabilities by distinguishing three types of categories:
Mental illnesses (精神病) are health conditions involving changes in emotion, thinking or behaviour (or a combination of these). Mental illnesses are associated with distress and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities.
Visceral disability (器官障礙), chronic illness (長期病患), brain injuries (腦部受傷), and having more than one type of disability are examples of other disabilities. Some SEN students have superior intelligence and learning disabilities at the same time.
Students who wish to receive support are invited to register with us through Registration Form.
Students are welcome to fill in the online registration form with both English and Chinese.
Our SAO Officers will contact the registered students shortly for further discussion on the tailor-made support services.
Confidentiality is guaranteed within ethical and legal guidelines.
Staff can refer cases by submitting the online referral form (staff log-in is required) or by email to sen@hsu.edu.hk with the student’s consent.
Our SAO Officers will contact the responsible staff shortly for further discussion on the tailor-made support services.
HSUHK is dedicated to ensuring equal opportunities for all students, including those with special educational needs (SEN). The Student Affairs Office (SAO) coordinates a wide range of support services for these students in collaboration with academic and learning support units, offering individualised assistance such as learning support, access to assistive devices and technologies, career guidance, and counselling services.
Students who wish to receive additional support are invited to register with us. Our Student Affairs Officers will contact the registered student for an individual meeting to discuss the necessary accommodation and assistance and liaise with the departments concerned. Students are strongly advised to provide recent documentation of their SEN. All information is handled in strict confidence.
Please contact our SEN Support team at sen@hsu.edu.hk to arrange a confidential discussion.
Students with special educational needs are strongly advised to declare their updated conditions and other relevant information to the Registry and the Student Affairs Office, so that they can access the available resources and supports.
Students are welcome to contact the SEN Support team at any time during the course of their studies for communicating their special needs. Students who wish to receive SEN support services are invited to register with us by completing the online registration form.
We are committed to meeting the University’s policies on personal data privacy protection. All confidential data obtained from a student is used to enhance the coordination work with different parties for providing personal and support services. The data collected will be handled with strict security and confidentiality and in compliance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance of Hong Kong.
Consent to release confidential information will be sought from the student during the declaration process. The SEN Support team communicates with authorized individuals and/or offices of the University according to the student’s consent. The registered student can request to review and amend the consent information at any time during the course of his/her study at HSUHK. The given consent will expire upon graduation.
Registration for SEN Support is on a voluntary basis and students are free to withdraw at any time.
