What should I do if I do not have a No Objection Letter (NOL)?

Co-op students without NOL before the work term should first approach the Office of Co-operative Education Programme (OCEP) for a supporting letter, and then submit a request to the Registration and Examination Section (RES) for a certifying letter.

With the certifying letter, students can apply individually for the NOL from the Immigration Department.

Do I need a work permit to do a Co-op placement?

Non-local students must have a No Objection Letter (NOL) issued by the Hong Kong Immigration Department and an endorsement letter from CUHK in order to take up any study / curriculum-related internship. You should have received the letter when you were first admitted to CUHK. The NOL will remain valid on conditions that,

  • You remain as a student of the major programme as stated in the NOL
  • Your limit of stay in Hong Kong (student visa) remains unexpired

Am I eligible for Co-op@CUHK?

If you are a degree-seeking student at CUHK, you are eligible for this Programme. To take up a study / curriculum-related placement, you should have a No Objection Letter (NOL) issued by the Hong Kong Immigration Department. If not, you will have to apply for one before the contract-signing stage.

As job requirements vary across different job postings, you will have to check whether the hiring company has any particular specifications in the job advertisement.
