in 1949, the college relocated to Hong Kong. The institution was forced to rename itself Chu Hai College () as it was not recognised as a university under Hong Kong law.

In May 2004, the Hong Kong SAR government officially recognised the college's programmes and in October, it was approved to award its own degrees by Hong Kong's
