THE UNIVESITY OF HONG KONG GRADUTE SCHOOL

Special Arrangement for Submission of Final Thesis from August 26 to September 6, 2013

For students who are going to submit the final thesis during the period from August 26 to September 6, 2013 but are not able to find an outside binding service which can bind the thesis for them before September 6, 2013, they could submit sufficient copies of the unbound thesis to the Faculty Office and the Faculty Office will help them send the thesis to the Libraries for binding. The Libraries would, after binding, send the copies other than the one to be catalogued by the Libraries and accessioned by the University Archive back to the Faculty Offices. Fees The Libraries will charge the following fees for the special service provided: (a) Basic binding fee: HK$165 per copy (b) Special processing fee for returning the copies of final bound thesis to the Faculty Office (except the copy to be catalogued by the Libraries and then accessioned by the University Archive): HK$50 per copy For example, if a student has to submit 4 copies of final bound thesis, he/she has to pay the basic binding fee of HK$660 (HK$165x4) plus a special processing fee of HK$150 (HK$50x3). Since 1 copy of the final bound thesis will be catalogued by the Libraries and then accessioned by the University Archive, the student only has to pay for the special processing fee for the remaining 3 copies. This special service and the special processing fee will only be applicable during the period from August 26 to September 6, 2013. Once a student has satisfactorily completed the thesis corrections as required and submitted the unbound thesis (for this special period only, normally bound thesis should be submitted), he/she would be deemed to have completed his/her degree requirements.

Payment details are as follows: Name of account: The University of Hong Kong Account no.: 002-222834-014 Remarks: 4040 Please remember to quote the remarks 4040.
