The CUHK Communications and Public Relations Office (CPRO) coordinates applications for non-commercial filming in the campus.

Filming applications should be submitted to CPRO (email: media@cuhk.edu.hk or fax: 2603 5115) at least seven working days before the filming date. The University will conduct an individual approval of each of the filming applications and will inform the applicant in writing, in advance, if the application has been approved.
