The extended due dates will then be updated accordingly in The Portal students' accounts, and students are responsible for checking their account balances and the extended due dates in The Portal from time to time after the due dates of University fees. Any students, who have applied for any financial assistance of WFSFAA after 17 October 2024 in Semester 1 and 13 February 2025 in Semester 2 and would like to apply for the payment deferment of the University fees, must send their applications through email (fees@eduhk.hk) to FO with justification for consideration.
