It allows colleagues to input, amend, and view their own service data at any time via the Internet.

I f you have forgotten your campus-wide e-mail account password, you can complete the Password Reset Form, which was sent by the Publication Office as an attachment to information about the database to all heads of departments/units in August, and return it to Ms. Catherine Ching of the User Services Section of the Computer Services Centre (Ext. 8816). Your new password will be sent to you by internal mail. • All service data should be effective on or after 1st August 1999 to be accepted by the database. • Service to CUHK refers to service rendered, on a personal basis or by invitation, in relation to university/college/faculty/department/unit administration, teaching, counselling, and cultural, recreational and staff liaison activities.
