This user manual serves as a guideline for all levels of users to make use of the uPRDatabase. You may download the PDF file for the complete version.


Eligible users such as programme leaders, faculty deans, senior management and relevant stakeholders (e.g., AQS) in the university can register for an uPRDatabase account. All applications for using the uPRDatabase must be approved by the relevant Faculty/ Department/ Programme/ Unit Head(s) or the delegated account administrator(s). Only approved users can use the uPRDatabase in accordance with their granted level of permission.

By clicking the "Register" button on the login page, the system will redirect you to the CUHK Microsoft 365 login page. Please login onto the uPRDatabase platform with your CUHK login email and OnePass password. After a successful login, you will be redirected to the registration form.

In the registration form, please fill in all the required personal information, such as your name, email address, phone number, job position, and the faculty/ department/ programme/ unit you belong to.

Under the "Programme Review Report Access Right" section, please choose the permission level you apply for. You may choose to apply for the Faculty Level account, the Programme Level account and the All-Level account. For the Faculty Level account, all access right granted users will be able to view all the programme review reports under the faculty they applied for. For the Programme Level account, access right to a particular programme will be granted to eligible users based on the request in their applications. A maximum of five programmes can be selected in each of the application. You may need to submit another separate application if you need to access information from more than five programmes in the uPRDatabase. The All-Level account is only accessible to senior management or other pertinent university stakeholders (like AQS). Access rights will be granted to the users in accordance with their job duties only. Please choose carefully and do not make irrelevant requests.

Please also write down the justification/ reasons for registering for the uPRDatabase account. In normal circumstances, default information about the person who processing your application has already been filled in the form. If you find these fields are left blank, please fill in the relevant information accordingly. Make sure all the required fields are filled out correctly. Check the box to agree to the Terms of Service and click the "Register" button.

In normal circumstances, the system will show the available options in the "Programme Review Report Access Right" section based on the unit you belong to. If you cannot find the programme you are looking for in the "Programme Review Report Access Right" section, contact the uPRDatabase administrators.

All applications for using the uPRDatabase will be reviewed and approved by the relevant Faculty/ Department/ Programme/ Unit Head(s) or the delegated account administrator(s). A reminder about your submitted application will be sent to your respective Faculty/ Department/ Programme/ Unit Head(s) every two weeks after your application has been processed. If you still have not received any further notifications considering the status of your application after one month, contact your Faculty/ Department/ Programme/ Unit Head(s) or contact the uPRDatabase administrators directly at uprdatabase@cuhk.edu.hk.

Only eligible and registered users will be granted access to the uPRDatabase. If you do not have an uPRDatabase account, please register for an account first. If your application is unsuccessful, contact your Faculty/ Department/ Programme/ Unit Head(s). If your account is inactive, contact the uPRDatabase administrators at uprdatabase@cuhk.edu.hk.

For the ineligible users, they will not be able to register for the uPRDatabase account even logging into the platform with their CUHK Microsoft365 account. For further enquiries, contact the uPRDatabase administrators at uprdatabase@cuhk.edu.hk.
