Residential Life (Living Green)
As a global citizen, everyone should take responsibility to protect the Earth.
In pursuit of paperless office, Student Housing and Residential Life Office seeks to reduce or eliminate the number of physical documents. One recent initiate is the Address Proof Self Service via the online hall system. Current hall residents can now generate the most recent address proof by themselves using the following link: https://studenthousing.hkust.edu.hk/page/ResCert upon the completion of check-in procedures. The proof of residence can either be downloaded and sent to designated emails, or residents can choose to print out directly. If true copies are required, please send us email to make a request (UG student: ughousing@ust.hk; PG student: pghousing@ust.hk).
