School Reference Report / Reference Report

1 What are the differences between School Reference Report and Reference Report?

School Reference Reports are completed and submitted by school principals, or by teachers who are authorised by the school principals to do so for their schools' JUPAS applicants via the JUPAS online application system.

Reference Reports are completed by referees aged 18 or above for non-school applicants who can download the "Reference Report" under "Forms" of the "Download Area" of their JUPAS accounts. Each non-school applicant is allowed to submit ONE Reference Report only. They may however also choose not to submit one.
