# 1. System Overview & Synchronisation

The **Facial Identity Registration System** ensures your records remain consistent across all platforms. Whether you perform a registration or deregistration via the HKU App or a physical workstation, the system automatically synchronises your status with the central database and all Entrance Terminals. This ensures that your access privileges and app display are always up to date, regardless of which method you use.

## **How to Access**

Online Facial Identity registration is currently available to students. This function can be accessed from the Student Corner of the HKU App
