Inbound Exchange Students who study one term or two terms at Lingnan University are not required to take ILP.

Students could acquire a 7.5 ILP units exemption after the completion of the exchange programme. For details of Student Exchange Programmes (SEP), please refer to the webpage of Office of Global Education.
For students who have met the requirement of each learning domain, the additional units will be counted as free electives.

Additional Notes:
Special cases other than the above are subject to the approval of the Management Committee of ILP and Senate.
The designated year of admission does not reflect the number of credits the student earned for fulfilment of curriculum requirements and the expected duration before he/she can graduate. The actual number of transfer credits to be granted for fulfilment of curriculum requirements will follow the relevant academic regulations regarding credit transfer. As such, the student may require longer period than normal programme duration for fulfilling the curriculum requirements.
Attendance Requirement
Class Attendances
Students are expected to be punctual and complete the ILP activity. Students can only have 12-minute allowance (for late check-in or early check-out) in 1-hour events and 15-minute allowance in 1.5-hours-or-above events. Exceeding the limit, the student's attendance for that session will not be counted.*To avoid any disturbance during the University Assembly and music performance, signing out is only allowed at the scheduled end time of each ILP session.
Completion Rate
Students are required to achieve at least 80% attendance in an ILP activity in order to be qualified for its ILP unit(s).Evaluation and Reflection

Absentees will be recorded and will have to bear the consequence of registering ILP activities only in the second round of online add-drop in the next term if they are absent from ILP activities 3 times or more.Cost incurred after completion of academic requirements
As approved by Senate Meeting of 6 October 2001, ILP taken after completion of academic requirements will normally be charged at costs incurred for your notice, i.e. to pay 1% of the tuition fee for a full-time student for every hour of ILP activities taken.Medium of Instruction
