5.6 The Right of the College
The College reserves the right, in case of emergency or violation of the above regulations, to
take possession of the locker concerned, dispose of the items therein and forfeit the student’s
right to use the locker without prior notice. The College is not responsible or liable for any
loss or damage of the property found inside the locker under such circumstances.
255.7 Student Identity Card
Upon your first registration on your study programme, a student identity card will be issued
to you. You are entitled to the rights and privileges of a full-time student of HKCC, as
appropriate, upon fulfilling the criteria for progression for the period you have duly paid the
tuition and other fees (including caution money, fees for the Students’ Union, etc.) and have
completed the subject registration procedures. You should carry your student identity card at
all times while in the University / College premises as it enables you to gain access to various
PolyU / HKCC facilities.
Different units have their own service provisions and effective service periods for different
types of students. Generally speaking, service provisions will not be available once the
student status has ended or students have completed their studies and are eligible for award
regardless of the student identity card expiring date. Students / graduates can contact
individual offices for more information.
• Renewal of Student Identity Card upon Expiry
If you are admitted in August 2018, your student identity card will normally expire on
31 August 2020 or (i) immediately upon the discontinuation of your study (including
withdrawal of study, discontinuation due to non-payment of tuition fees or relevant
fees, deferment of study, etc.), (ii) 30 days upon de-registration, or (iii) a maximum of
90 days after the announcement of assessment results before graduation, whichever is
earlier. In case you are eligible to continue with your study after the expiry date of
your student identity card, the College will advise you to exchange for a new student
identity card in the last week of August. If you do not receive such notification one
week before the commencement of the academic year / semester, you should enquire
at the HKCC Information Kiosks during office hours.
• Return of Student Identity Card to HKCC
The student identity card is the property of HKCC and is not transferable. It should be
returned to HKCC upon withdrawal or termination of your student status at HKCC,
whichever is earlier.
26You are advised to return the card to the HKCC Information Kiosks in person, when
required. If you prefer to return the student identity card by post, you are urged to cut
the card into halves; otherwise, you are at your risk of any abuse in the use of your
card when it is lost in post.
If you fail to return the student identity card within the specified period as required,
the caution money you have paid shall be confiscated, and you may not be eligible for
any certification of your study at HKCC. Any subsequent request for a refund of the
caution money will not be entertained.
• Abuse of Use of Student Identity Card
You should take good care of your student identity card to prevent any possible abuse
by other persons. You are liable to disciplinary actions, which may include temporary
deprivation of student rights, suspension or expulsion of studies, if (a) you lend your
student identity card to another person to enable the latter to gain access to the PolyU
/ HKCC facilities or for other purposes or (b) you use a student identity card that does
not belong to you to gain access to the PolyU / HKCC facilities or for other purposes.
Any such offence will also be filed in your student record which will be taken into
consideration when HKCC recommends candidates for articulation and / or
scholarships. HKCC also reserves the right to release the record to potential
employers / universities / institutes which submit formal requests for reference
checking with consent from the candidate.
• Loss, Damage and Replacement of Student Identity Card
In case your student identity card is lost or damaged, or you have amended your name,
you should submit an application for “Replacement of Student Identity Card” (Form
16). A replacement fee of HK$110 will be charged for the new student identity card.
If the original student identity card is found eventually, you should immediately
return the original student identity card to the HKCC Information Kiosks for
cancellation. It is an offence to possess more than one student identity card for the
same programme at the same time and you shall be subject to disciplinary actions if
found committing this offence.
27You are advised to submit your application in person as early as a loss is found. If you
cannot submit the application in person, you should attach a photocopy of your Hong
Kong Identity Card to the application. Such copy will be destroyed after processing
the application.
28Part Six Campus Safety
6.1 Introduction
Hong Kong Community College is committed to providing a safe, healthy and
environmentally sustainable campus for every student and staff member. Being a member of
the college community, it is your responsibility to follow the established procedures during
an emergency/accident. You are one of the key persons to ensure that prompt and efficient
actions are taken so as to minimise bodily injury and property damage. We need your
cooperation and support to ensure a safe campus.
6.2 General Consideration
In case of emergency/accident when human lives and/or college/personal property are
threatened, it is important to minimise any personal injury and property damage. To this end,
it is prudent to adhere to the following priorities when encountering an emergency/accident:
• Protect life, yours and others.
• Protect college/personal property.
You are encouraged to report the situation promptly either by telephone, emergency phone or
in person to the 24-hour manned Campus Facilities Management Office (CFM) located at
Room LG05 on PolyU Hung Hom Bay Campus (HHB) or Room SLG08 on PolyU West
Kowloon Campus (WK).
CFM 24-hour Hotline: 3746-0666 (HHB)
3746-0999 (WK)
*Emergency Telephones are installed throughout the two campuses and directly linked to the
CFM. The staff of the CFM will be dispatched to the scene to render on-the-spot assistance.
If the situation demands, the CFM will request assistance from the Health, Safety and
Environment Office, Health Centre and/or other government bodies such as the Hong Kong
Police Force, the Fire Services Department, and Ambulance.
296.3 What to Report?
Particulars to be reported to the CFM when there is an emergency/accident on campus:
• Nature of incident with brief description. (e.g. person(s) injured, missing or trapped in
the incident.)
• Your name and location.
• Your contact telephone number.
• Full details of the location of the incident and the place where you can wait safely to
meet with the dispatched staff.
6.4 Emergency Evacuation
There are fire alarm notification systems on both HHB and WK campuses for emergency
evacuation. Most systems sound only fire alarm bells while others may have flashing lights
to supplement the alarm bells and/or announcements about the situation. At all times, when
the alarm system sounds and/or voice command for evacuation is activated, everyone must
leave the campus and move to a safe location.
Upon hearing the fire alarm or evacuation announcement
• Keep yourself and the others calm.
• Turn off electrical devices and stop laboratory operations that are not safe to be left
unattended.
• Quickly leave the campus and do not use the lift.
• Help those who need assistance.
• Close doors behind you but do not lock.
• Wait at a safe location for instructions from the emergency response personnel.
• Do not re-enter the campus until told it is safe to do so.
6.5 Personal Injury
For minor injury, apply first aid and use medical supplies in the first aid box. For serious
injury, notify the CFM and request assistance from the Health Centre and/or call an
ambulance.
• Do not move the casualty unless it is absolutely necessary.
30• Make sure that you and the casualty are in a safe place while waiting for help.
• If the danger is imminent, move the casualty to a safe place.
6.6 Lift Trapping
If you find someone trapped inside a lift
• Immediately notify the CFM using a nearby emergency telephone or call the CFM at
3746-0666 (HHB) or
3746-0999 (WK).
• Tell the people inside the lift that assistance has been called for.
• Warn the people inside the lift not to open the lift door by force.
• Wait for the security personnel.
• Do not try to open the lift door to release the people inside.
If you are trapped inside a lift
• Call for assistance by pressing the emergency alarm button on the lift control panel.
The intercom on the panel allows you to speak to the CFM.
• If someone answers you, tell him/her your situation.
• Tell the attending CFM staff if you feel uncomfortable so that medical assistance
could be rendered.
• Keep calm and wait for assistance.
• Do not try to open the lift door by yourself from inside.
• When the lift door is being opened by the attending firemen or staff from the lift
company, stay away from the lift door.
• After the lift door is opened, leave the lift car according to instructions given by the
emergency personnel.
6.7 Crime
Students should be alert and report any criminal case, e.g. burglary, theft, vandalism, assault,
etc. to the CFM.
It is important to never leave laptops or other personal items unattended. Some students are
frequently leaving laptops and other property unattended in communal spaces, libraries and
31computer centres while they go to the washroom, get a drink, visit with friends, etc. While it
may seem harmless to step away for just a moment, your absence allows a thief just enough
time to steal your property. We encourage you to always secure your personal property when
on campus and, as inconvenient as it may be, please make sure that you have a clear view of
your belongings at all times. Please also make sure to look out for one another. If you
observe suspicious activity anywhere on campus, please notify the CFM at 3746-0666 (HHB)
or 3746-0999 (WK) immediately.
6.8 Viewing of CCTV Records for Detecting Stolen/Lost Cases
The College is responsible for the protection of privacy interests of every individual, requests
for ad hoc viewing of CCTV records by victims / subjects in question and related students are
therefore not encouraged. Once a suspected criminal case is reported to the CFM, delegated
CFM staff will check CCTV records as soon as possible and will coordinate with the College
or police for further action, where appropriate. In any circumstances that a campus user
makes a request to the CFM for the latter to view relevant CCTV records, the following
regulations need to be observed:
i. The review is for security, crime or discipline-related reasons only; and
ii. Subject to a maximum duration of 3 hours’ review.
The procedure in handling suspected criminal cases is indeed in line with that of PolyU main
campus. Furthermore, as advised by the police, victims / subjects in question are required to
report to the police themselves as the College is not allowed to act on their behalf.
CCTVs are intended for surveillance of the entrances of each campus and the toilets and
therefore not the whole campus is under the coverage. Students are advised to pay attention
to their belongings and, for enhanced security, to use padlocks with a key instead of
combination locks. In addition, students should not share their lockers or locker keys with
others.
