CUHK Mobile Pass

CUHK Mobile Pass, the mobile app, serves as an alternative way of campus access in addition to CU Link. While CU Link remains the official means of displaying one’s University identity, CUHK Mobile Pass offers a more convenient option for eligible users to access University entrances and facilities.

Users can gain access to campus by scanning the QR code generated by CUHK Mobile Pass against readers enabled with such feature. It facilitates the entry of CUHK campus when CU Link is not brought around or not yet collected.
