Activities,
Meals and Accommodations Fee - U.S. $2,250
Students and non-Hong Kong faculty members will live at a very pleasant residential college located at the University of Hong Kong campus. The accommodations are those also used by scholars and researchers who are guests of the University. The college is a 10-minute walk from the Law Faculty building, where classes are held. Under normal traffic conditions, the college is about 20 minutes from the Central District of Hong Kong by taxi or mini-bus.
The rooms are comfortable doubles with a private bath, air-conditioning, refrigerator, desk, and television. Fresh bed linens and towels are provided weekly or more often if requested. Rooms are cleaned daily. Personal laundry service is supplied by the college for a reasonable fee. Full breakfast is provided daily and a hot lunch is served to residential students on weekdays. Dinner may be substituted at no extra cost for the lunch meal and can also be taken in addition to lunch for a reasonable additional charge. Food alternates between Chinese and Western cooking.
The student activities, meals, and accommodations fee is U.S. $2,250. The fee is payable directly to the program as indicated on the application form. No reduction will be made for participants who leave the program early. The fee will cover any service and registration charges. It will also include breakfast every day and lunch or dinner on class days, as well as refreshments at afternoon seminars, the welcome and farewell dinners, and a Duke Law School event. It is anticipated that participants who are not residing at the college will attend all special dinners and other events. Students are expected to live at the college unless they meet one or more of the criteria for non-resident status (see below under "Non-Resident's Fee"). Such students should consult Ms. Tonya Jacobs and submit their requests to live elsewhere in writing along with their applications.
Non-Resident's
Fee - U.S. $175
Non-residents will be required to make a payment of U.S. $175. The fee will cover special events, including Institute dinners. The fee will not, however, cover daily breakfasts and class day lunches. In order to achieve non-resident status, a student must meet at least one of the following criteria:
1)
the student is a resident of Hong Kong;
2)
the student has a family member residing in Hong Kong with whom
he/she will live;
3)
the student has been working in Hong Kong prior to the start of
the program and already has his/her own apartment;
4)
the student is married and will be bringing his/her spouse (or SSSE)
to the program.
Tuition
Fee - U.S. $3,950
Tuition fees for the full four-week program are U.S. $3,950; tuition fees for a two-week period only are U.S. $1,975. Tuition for a single course is U.S. $1,317 for the four-week period and U.S. $659 for a two-week period. (Hong Kong lawyers may enroll for a single course only; other Institute participants do not have this option and are required to pay the full tuition regardless of the number of courses taken.)
Registration
Fee - U.S. $250
The non-refundable registration fee of U.S. $250 covers the cost of administrative and related expenses.
Financial
Aid
Duke students should apply for loans through the Financial Aid Office at the Law School. Students at other American law schools should consult the financial aid office at their own school. If a financial consortium agreement is required, financial aid officers are welcome to consult Duke Law School's Financial Aid Office for guidance. Non-American participants are encouraged to apply to foundations and other sources of funding in their home countries for scholarship assistance.
Health
Insurance
Students are required to provide their own health insurance. The Institute is not responsible for medical or dental expenses incurred by students during the operation of the program. Be sure to include health insurance information on the application, if available; otherwise, submit information to Ms. Tonya Jacobs by June 2, 2008. Students may use the very conveniently-located University Health Service at a reasonable charge.
