To support HKUST's strategic direction in light of the 3-3-4 education reform, CL3 has repositioned since 2010 to play a different role with focus on programs relating to outreach and student development. Consequently, continuing education programs and courses are no longer offered to the public due to redeployment of resources of CL3.

Services for CL3 alumni, such as requests for transcripts, will continue to be provided by the Academic Registry at the UST main campus.
