Dear Postgraduate Students,
| According to Article 149 of Code of Administrative Procedure about the period of submit a complaint against an administrative decision, the complaint period for Accepted Application List of 1st Semester of Academic Year 2021/2022 has expired and SRS will not accept any appeal afterward. |
Please be informed of the attached application result for the accommodation of the 1st sem of AY2021/2022. The present application is handled according to the “PGH Resident Rules” and the “Guidelines for Assessing the Applications for UM PGH Accommodation”, both of which were announced before and are attached. Since there are not enough bed spaces in the PGH, the University can only ensure accommodation for the year-one postgraduate students who do not have a residence in Macao. After bed spaces are given to the afore-mentioned year-one students, the remaining bed spaces are not enough to accommodate all existing students.
