Request to Publish an Institutional Pay-Later Coursepack

Note: This article applies only to Coursepacks at The University of Hong Kong or institutions that have an established agreement with ACRC.

As a collaborator, TA could manage the coursepack in the same way as the instructor.

An Institutional Pay‑Later Coursepack allows the instructor to teach the Coursepack first and settle payment at a later time, such as after the course ends or once enrollment numbers are confirmed. 

 


Under the Institutional Pay‑Later scheme, any instructor, collaborator, or administrator who created the Coursepack must submit a publishing request to a designated Payment Administrator from their Programme or department.

payment method: institution pay later

To submit a Coursepack for approval, go to the Coursepack page and click Submit Coursepack for Approval.
