Currently, CUHK has expanded from three to [[Colleges of the Chinese University of Hong Kong|nine constituent colleges]]. All full-time undergraduates and academic staff at the university are affiliated with a college, regardless of whether they reside at the college or not.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/english/college/system.html|title=A Unique College System|publisher=Chinese University of Hong Kong|access-date=30 August 2017}}</ref> The [[University of Hong Kong]] (HKU) has an affiliated Anglican college, St John's College, which was founded in 1912 and has its own charter.
