Non-local JUPAS Applicants
2019 Applications for Admission via JUPAS from Non-local Applicants
In accordance with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government's policy, UGC-funded institutions can only admit non-local applicants to UGC-funded programmes by way of over-enrolment of the approved student number. Hence, non-local applicants will NOT compete with local applicants for UGC-funded intake places.
Non-local applicants are reminded to note the following:
-
Their applications will be considered with other non-local applicants applying via the non-JUPAS route.
-
Places for non-local applicants are limited and there is keen competition for admission.
-
Non-local applicants who are given offers under JUPAS are required to pay higher tuition fees than local applicants. Non-local applicants should check the amount of tuition fees with the institutions offering them admissions. The institutions offering applicants admissions will further check their local / non-local status at the time of admission according to the proof of identity produced during registration / enrolment and will decide on the tuition fees to be charged, the amount of which is based on their local / non-local status in Hong Kong.
-
The Admission Scores shown under Useful Material are for reference of LOCAL APPLICANTS only.
