Internal groups (students and staff) at HKU's Centre for Sports and Exercise (CSE) must obtain approval from their respective authorities and register with both CCSO and CSE annually. Specific procedures are outlined for student and staff groups. A detailed policy document on booking quotas is available. Booking can be done via the HKU portal, while guest entries require an online form submission at least 3 working days in advance. Special booking forms must be submitted at least 4 weeks before using larger venues like the Athletics Track & Field. Each registered group gets 8 hours of special bookings yearly.
External groups, particularly schools, are welcome to book CSE facilities, especially during non-peak hours. Bookings can be made up to 3 weeks prior; earlier bookings may incur surcharges. First-time hirers should contact the booking officer for inquiry and facility information. Returning hirers can check availability and use the online booking system. Approval for external bookings is given on a case-by-case basis and may involve surcharges for specific requests. A package price may apply for mega-events.

Scale of Charges
Charges for Floodlight Usages and Guest Teams’ / Visitors’ Entries.
Bookings can normally be made as early as 3 weeks prior to the event date. For hirers who wish to make bookings more than 3 weeks in advance of the event date, please call or email the booking officer to seek approval from the Management first. Such bookings will be subject to at least 10% surcharge to the hiring fee. Additional surcharges will apply to bookings with special requests in venue setup, and based on factors like catering service, scale of event, use of special equipment, number of attendees, etc. Waiver to any fee requires justification and hirers may be asked to provide relevant documents to support the requests.
School/Organization which is the first time wishing to hire our sports facilities can check out the list of facilities and the scale of charges first, and then send a Booking Inquiry specifying the needs to the Booking Officer at csebooking.officer@hku.hk or call them during office hours (0900-1230 & 1400-1700) at 3910 3558. For returning hirers, please check the venues’ availability before submitting an application via the External Group Online Booking System (EGOBS).
Same as centrally administered facilities in the HKU Main Campus, booking requests from external groups will be considered on a case-by-case basis, provided that the intended activities do not infringe the law. Approval is given only in exceptional circumstances. In general, appeal against rejection of application will not be accepted.
Scale of Charges
For mega event, package price instead of normal scale of charges may apply.
