Once their graduate status is confirmed by the University Senate, graduates will become CU alumni.

Once the graduation status of CUHK students has been approved by the Senate of the University, the students are considered graduates of the University and may apply for alumni library services through MyCUHK. For undergraduates, normally the graduation list of the year will be confirmed by the Senate in mid-March (for first-term graduates) or mid-August (for second-term graduates).
For postgraduate students, the graduation list will be approved by the Senate in batches throughout the year.

With the approval of the Administrative and Planning Committee (AAPC), and in line with the practices of other local universities, the University has implemented new procedures to improve the efficiency of campus access control measures with effect from 30 August 2021. Holders of CULinks and CUHK Library Cards are required to validate their smartcards at the card reading devices upon entry into campus.
CUHK Alumni who are holders of “CU Alumni Credit Card” could continue to present their valid CUHK Alumni Credit Cards at campus entry points in order to gain entry into campus. Where necessary, credit card holders might be requested to produce their HKIDs for verification of identity. All other visitors who cannot provide the CUHK-related documents above are required to register their HKIDs, etc, at campus entry points in order to gain entry into campus. The University reserves the right to refuse any visitors to the campus if circumstances require.
All degree graduates will automatically become members of the “CUHK Convocation”. For the objectives and activities of the “CUHK Convocation”, please visit the CUHK Convocation webpage.

Members of any of the above Alumni Associations are also members of the FAA. Please visit the FAA webpage for details.

Alumni are required to log in to MyCUHK with their login ID ([Alumni ID]@link.cuhk.edu.hk) and the MyCUHK password.
Since October 2010, every alumnus has been assigned a 10-digit Alumni ID. For those who graduated after October 2010, their original 10-digit student ID automatically becomes their Alumni ID. Alumni ID is an important identification number and is widely used in the University’s online systems requiring authentication, including MyCUHK. When a CUHK graduate pursues another degree at the University, his/her Alumni ID will also serve as their Student ID.
The Alumni Affairs Office assigned Alumni IDs to all alumni recorded in its database in 2010. Alumni who did not receive notification may retrieve their ID through MyCUHK (please visit here for details). For graduates after October 2010, their original 10-digit student ID automatically serves as their Alumni ID.
