Application Information

Applicants may voluntarily submit information in relation to their disabilities via their JUPAS accounts for consideration by the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions (the Institutions).  This arrangement aims to help applicants understand, as early as possible, the types of support and facilities the Institutions may offer upon admissions.  It also enables the Institutions to identify applicants with disabilities, so that appropriate considerations can be given during the admissions process.

Whether or not applicants with disabilities choose to declare and submit information, they are encouraged to contact respective institutions to discuss their individual circumstances.  This will allow applicants to better understand the facilities and support available, and to avoid programmes where their disabilities may hinder their study progress.  The Institutions will be pleased to offer advice and discuss any concerns applicants may have in this regard.

Applicants who have disabilities may submit information and upload supporting documents via their JUPAS accounts on or before 3 December 2025 (5:00 pm).

If applicants are unable to complete submission by 3 December 2025 (5:00 pm), late submission may be accepted.  In such cases, applicants should contact the JUPAS Office as soon as possible and no later than 27 May 2026.

No further submission / amendment is accepted after 27 May 2026 (5:00 pm).

The term "disability" refers to the following types of disabilities:

1. attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder;

2. autism;

3. hearing impairment;

4. intellectual disability;

5. mental illness;

6. physical disability;

7. specific learning difficulties;

8. speech impairment;

9. visceral disability / chronic illness; or

10. visual impairment.

The supporting documents (in PDF format only and a maximum file size of 4MB) to be uploaded MUST include the following information:

1. applicants' name;

2. types of applicants' disabilities; and

3. degree of severity (if applicable).

The supporting documents may include the following:

1. medical certificates issued by doctors or allied health professionals registered in Hong Kong;

2. testimonials or letters issued by the Officer-in-charge of special schools subvented by the Education Bureau;

3. reports issued by specialists of the Education Bureau;

4. valid Registration Card for People with Disabilities (both front and back sides of the card); or

5. others.

The supporting documents (except No.4.) should be issued in the last six months as at the date of submission of disability information.

Based on the information applicants have submitted, the JUPAS Office, in consultation with the Commissioner for Rehabilitation of the Labour and Welfare Bureau, will determine whether applicants are eligible for special considerations under this category.  During the verification process of applicants' disabilities, the Commissioner may request additional supporting documents via the JUPAS Office, and / or contact relevant government bureaux / departments and / or organisations to verify the submitted information as necessary.  By submitting their disability information to the JUPAS Office, applicants are deemed to have given consent for the Commissioner to disclose all relevant information regarding their disabilities to the JUPAS Office.  Applicants who are not deemed eligible for special considerations under this category will be notified by the JUPAS Office and will continue to be considered in their JUPAS application process.

In case of discrepancies between the information submitted by applicants and the feedback from the Commissioner, the latter (i.e. feedback from the Commissioner) shall prevail.  The JUPAS Office will amend the disability information accordingly without further notice.  Once the feedback from the Commissioner has been received, the JUPAS Office will notify applicants via email^#^.  Applicants may log in to their JUPAS accounts to review the updated information (if any).

Applicants who have submitted details of their disabilities may view the feedback on 29 July 2026 (9:00 am)* by logging in to their JUPAS accounts.

Applicants may be given offers as a result of the special considerations by the Institutions.  However, they are not required to respond to these offers, if any, at this stage as their applications will continue to be considered by the Institutions in the Main Round to determine whether even "better" offers can be given.  If "better" offers are given to applicants with disabilities in the Main Round, any offers previously given under this special consideration category will be withdrawn.

The final admission decision will be announced together with the JUPAS Main Round offer results on 5 August 2026 (9:00 am)*.
