HKID Card Number

The HKID card numbers which the applicants have used to register their JUPAS accounts MUST BE IDENTICAL to those used to register for their HKDSE Examination at the HKEAA.  Applicants who have used different identity documents to register for different sittings in the HKDSE Examination must notify the JUPAS Office IMMEDIATELY.  If they fail to do so, the JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions will NOT be able to obtain ALL the HKDSE Examination results (past and / or current) of the applicants concerned from the HKEAA.  In such cases, these applications may be disadvantaged since the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions would not be able to review all the results from applicants' sittings in their HKDSE Examination.

Local / Non-local Students

According to the Education Bureau (EDB), for the purpose of admission to post-secondary programmes, definition of local and non-local students is listed here.

For Applicants Who Belong to Categories LS2, LS4 – 9

Applicants who belong to Categories LS2, LS4 – 9 in accordance with EDB's Definition of Local Students are defined as local applicants.

Such applicants are required to provide a valid identity documents proving they are local students / applicants (valid identity documents) when they create JUPAS accounts.  They are advised to create their JUPAS accounts ahead of the deadline in case additional time is needed for further verification / submission of additional documentations is required.  Applicants will be notified via emails#^ and SMS^ within 5 working days / by the application deadline (whichever is earlier) on whether they are eligible to apply via JUPAS.  Only eligible applicants could continue to submit their JUPAS application.

Notwithstanding that JUPAS accepts their applications, they should not assume that their "local" status will remain unchanged after the acceptance of their applications.

It is applicants' responsibilities to report to the JUPAS Office immediately should there be any changes to their identity documents which affect their status as "local" or "non-local" applicants as defined in EDB's Definition of Local Students (including any updates / renewal of their identity documents) (Reporting Requirements).  Their "local" status may change to reflect the changes to their identity documents.

If applicants' identity document(s) will expire on or before 20 July 2024, they are required to submit the updated / renewed document(s) (Renewed Document(s)) to the JUPAS Office in order to maintain their "local" status.

Applicants who fail to provide the updated / renewed valid identity documents by the specified deadline (i.e. 20 July 2024) will be considered as non-local applicants.  Although these non-local applicants' JUPAS applications may still be processed, they will be considered by the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions together with other non-local applicants applying via the non-JUPAS route.  Non-local applicants, when admitted by the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions, will be required to pay higher tuition fees than local applicants.  Please be reminded that non-local students are not covered under the SSSDP (Details).

For applicants who could produce their valid identity documents to the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions or the SSSDP institutions during admission / registration, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions or the SSSDP institutions will determine their student status as "local" or "non-local" at the time of submission.  These applicants should therefore check their status with the institutions accordingly.  The JUPAS Office will NOT accept any valid identity documents after the deadline of 20 July 2024.

For Applicants Who Belong to Categories NLS1 – NLS3

Applicants who belong to Categories NLS1 – NLS3 in accordance with EDB's Definition of Non-Local Students are defined as non-local applicants.

ALL non-local applicants, regardless of whether they possess HKDSE Examination results, MUST apply for admission via the non-JUPAS route, and NOT via JUPAS.

Disqualification and Other Penalties for Making False Statements / Omissions

If applicants make any false statements or omit to state any significant information in their online application forms, or if they make any misleading representation concerning their applications, or if they fail to comply with the Reporting Requirements, their applications may be disqualified, or the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions may withdraw or amend their offers, or cancel their registration / enrolment, or terminate their studies after admission.  Any fees paid will not be refunded or transferred to another year / other application.

Contact Information

The JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions will contact applicants via one or more of the following channels:

  1. phone (home and mobile);

  2. personal email#^;

  3. SMS^;

  4. mail; or

  5. message box in applicant's JUPAS account.

Applicants should therefore ensure that their contact information (such as email addresses, phone numbers and mailing addresses, etc.) is up to date and correct, otherwise they may not receive important messages and correspondence from the JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions.

It is applicants' responsibilities to regularly check all information from, and messages sent by, the JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions by post, via phone, the JUPAS online application system or email and / or SMS.  If they fail to do so, they will miss important information.  The JUPAS Office will not further remind applicants to check for information update.

Points to Note

Applicants should submit / upload their supporting documents in relation to their JUPAS applications via their JUPAS accounts.  They are strongly advised not to send confidential documents to the JUPAS Office via emails to minimise the risk of data breaches.

Applicants should log in to their JUPAS accounts regularly to check the updated information.

Since important messages and correspondence from the JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions will be sent via applicants' mobile phone numbers and / or mailing addresses, applicants SHOULD NEVER share their mobile phone numbers or mailing addresses with other applicants in order to protect any information related to their JUPAS applications.

As email is one of the channels that the JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions will use to contact applicants, applicants must ensure that the setting of their personal email accounts will not filter out or place such correspondence in the trash / junk / spam folders.

^ Emails and SMS are delivered via third party network providers and therefore the JUPAS Office is not responsible for any delay, loss, transfer, amendment or damage arising from the transmission process via third party network providers.

Should there be any discrepancies between information contained in emails and SMS and applicants' JUPAS accounts, the information contained in the latter (i.e. the JUPAS accounts) shall prevail.

Applicants are strongly advised to log in to their JUPAS accounts to double-check the related information.

 SMS will only be sent to a valid Hong Kong mobile phone number.  Applicants who provide a mobile phone number outside of Hong Kong should check the message under message boxes in the JUPAS accounts.
