YES.  Local applicants can select only the SSSDP full-time bachelor's degree programmes in their programme choice lists.  Applicants have the discretion to decide how many and what programmes they wish to choose.  There is no restriction on the number of programme choices they can select from different funding categories / institutions as long as the total number of programmes choices does not exceed 20.

Determination of applicants' suitability for admission is entirely the decisions of the SSSDP institutions and is entirely independent of the JUPAS Office.  Enquiries on the SSSDP institutions' decisions should be directed to the SSSDP institutions concerned.

Admission to the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions is on a competitive basis, since the number of places available is normally far less than the number of eligible applicants.  In this regard, satisfying the minimum entrance requirements of the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions or the SSSDP institutions, and their respective programmes does not therefore guarantee admission.

In determining applicants' positions in the respective merit order lists, institutions' programmes will consider NOT ONLY the HKDSE Examination results.  Other factors taken into considerations may include performance in interviews and / or tests, banding of programme choices, HKDSE Examination results achieved by other applicants in the current year, the number of applicants applying to the programmes, other information provided by applicants in the online application forms etc.

The SSSDP offer results will be announced in the respective rounds of JUPAS offers (which will contain offers from the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions):

Main Round Offer;

NO.  Each successful applicant will receive only ONE offer (i.e. one offer from either one of the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions or the SSSDP institutions) in the Main Round which is the BEST AND ONLY^▲offer to be made in the same academic year (2022 – 2023) and is of the highest possible priority on the programme choice list.
