# Introduction to HKU Facial Identity Registration System

## What is HKU Facial Identity Registration System?

The HKU Facial Identity Registration system enables HKU staff and students to transition to card-free entry. **Students** can register on their mobile phones via the [**HKU App**](https://its.hku.hk/services/university-wide-applications/mobile-applications/about-hku-app/) or on-site through physical workstations, while **Staff** registration is available only through [**on-site workstations**](https://its.hku.hk/news/facial-identity-access-expansion-at-hku-libraries-chi-wah-learning-commons_v2/).

The Facial Identity System is currently active at the following primary campus entry points and library branches:

* **Main Library (G/F & 2/F)**
* **Chi Wah Learning Commons (G/F, 1/F & 2/F)**
* **Lui Che Woo Law Library** 
* **Yu Chun Keung Medical Library**
* **Dental Library**
* **Music Library**

 Coverage will gradually expand to include more facilities.

Self-registration Terminals are currently available at **Chi Wah Learning Commons (1/F)** and **the Main Library (2/F)**.

This user guide outlines the core logic and steps required to manage the **HKU Facial Identity Registration System**. It serves as a means for maintaining seamless integration between the **central database** and **Entrance Terminals**.
