The allocated time slot for each applicant will NOT be changed under any circumstances.

Applicants should:

• ENSURE they understand and will be able to meet the specified requirements (e.g. language and subject requirements at the HKDSE Examination results, etc.) of the respective institutions.  For better planning, it is highly recommended that they should consult the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions (the Institutions) ahead of schedule, and no later than 16 July 2024*, for necessary information on programmes;

• NOTE the Agreement among the 9 JUPAS Participating-institutions and the SSSDP Institutions on Modification of Programme Choices (i.e. official advice in relation to programme selection (including interviews, direct, telephone or electronic communication, programme counselling, formal / informal contacts with applicants, etc.) will NOT be given by the Institutions during the period between the release of the HKDSE Examination results and the deadline for modification of programme choices (i.e. 17 July – 20 July 2024*), regardless of who initiates the approach);

• VISIT Programme Changes under the JUPAS website for updated information provided by the Institutions' programmes;

• REFER to the Applicants' User Guide on checking of allocated time slot and on modification of programme choices; and

Applicants who wish to modify their programme choices may do so WITHIN THEIR ALLOCATED TIME SLOTS within the period 18 July – 20 July 2024*.  Applicants should note that the JUPAS online application system will be closed temporarily during 3:00 am – 6:00 am daily for system maintenance.

Within the allocated time slots, applicants may modify their programme choices in any of the following options ONCE only, free of charge:

• REPLACE a maximum of 5 programme choices on the programme choice lists with new programmes / ADD a maximum of 5 new programmes to the original programme choice lists (as long as the total number of programme choices does not exceed 20)

• REARRANGE the order of the programme choices

• DELETE programmes from the programme choice lists

For the details on resubmission, please refer to the section on Request for Resubmission of Modification of Programme Choices below.

After successful modifications and submission of programme choices, applicants should see a confirmation page showing the programme choices selected and saved in applicants' JUPAS accounts.  Applicants should print the confirmation pages as a record of the programme choices they have selected and submitted.  These will be the applicants' FINAL programme choice lists^▲ to be considered by the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and / or the SSSDP institutions for the compilation of the merit order lists for the iteration process.

Applicants will also receive emails^#^ (containing their CONFIRMED programme choices) and SMS^■^ from the JUPAS Office upon successful modifications and submission of programme choices.

It is applicants' responsibilities to check for such messages.  If they do not receive these confirmation messages after completion of steps above, they should contact the JUPAS Office immediately.

Applicants should retain copies of the confirmation page and acknowledgement emails as evidence that their programme choices have been successfully modified.  In the event of any disputes or queries, the JUPAS Office will ONLY accept these printed pages as official evidence.  No other documentation in hard copy or electronic form will be accepted.

Applicants are also advised to log in to their JUPAS accounts again to double check and re-confirm that their programme choices have been successfully modified and saved.

^▲ Only applicants with upgraded HKDSE Examination results on subject levels / grades after rechecking and remarking (RR results) who have submitted requests for reconsideration of applications based on their RR results may modify their programme choices.

Applicants who do not wish to modify their programme choices NEED NOT submit requests via their JUPAS accounts within their allocated time slots.  Their programme choice lists as at the deadline for updating of programme choices (i.e. 29 May 2024 (11:59 pm)) will be considered by the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and / or the SSSDP institutions.  Such applicants are still advised to log in to their JUPAS accounts to check their programme choices.

A one-time only resubmission is applicable to applicants who have:

• completed modifications but wish to resubmit programme choices; or

• missed their allocated time slots and wish to submit programme choices.

Applicants who wish to request for resubmission should confirm understanding and accepting the terms of resubmission declaration via their JUPAS accounts before deadline (i.e. 20 July 2024 (1:15 pm)*).
