Local applicants who wish to apply for admission to the SSSDP designated FYFD programmes should follow the application procedures of JUPAS and select the SSSDP designated FYFD programmes in their programme choice lists.  There is no limit 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.

Local applicants who are currently enrolled in full-time bachelor's degree programmes under JUPAS at one of the SSSDP institutions CANNOT apply for admission to the SSSDP programmes via JUPAS.  If such local applicants wish to apply via JUPAS, they MUST have COMPLETED the entire withdrawal process from the SSSDP institutions they are currently enrolled in at the time they submit their JUPAS applications, otherwise their applications will NOT be processed.

The JUPAS Office will check the applicants' status with the SSSDP institutions, and request such applicants to provide supporting documents to prove their withdrawal status when necessary.  If such applicants cannot provide the supporting documents, or the JUPAS Office receives confirmation from the institutions that such local applicants have not COMPLETED the withdrawal process, their JUPAS applications will be cancelled without further notice.

Applicants who are currently enrolled in full-time bachelor's degree programmes NOT under JUPAS at one of the SSSDP institutions CAN apply for admission to the SSSDP programmes via JUPAS.

Please refer to section on Eligibility for more details.

YES.  Local applicants who are currently enrolled in full-time associate degree / higher diploma programmes at one of the SSSDP institutions CAN apply for admission to the SSSDP programmes via JUPAS.

Please refer to section on Eligibility for more details.

YES.  Local applicants can select only the SSSDP designated FYFD programmes in their programme choice lists.  Applicants have the discretion to decide how many and what programmes they wish to choose.  There is no limit 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.

Applicants' suitability for admission is entirely the decisions of the SSSDP institutions and is 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 guarantee admission.

In determining applicants' positions in the respective merit order lists, institutions' programmes will consider NOT ONLY the HKDSE Examination results, but also other aspects (e.g. performance in interviews and / or assessments, banding of programme choices, HKDSE Examination results of other applicants in the same 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;

Offer Results for Reconsideration of Application Based on Upgraded HKDSE Examination Results on Subject Levels / Grades after Rechecking and Remarking; and

Clearing Round Offer.

For the dates of offer results announcement, please refer to JUPAS Key Dates.

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 (2025 – 2026) and is of the highest possible priority on the applicant's programme choice list.

Once the applicants are given Main Round offers (i.e. one offer from either one of the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions or the SSSDP institutions), they will NOT be reconsidered for admission to any other programmes in the Clearing Round.

Please refer to the section on Main Round Offer for more details.

^▲ Except for applicants with upgraded HKDSE Examination results on subject levels / grades after rechecking and remarking (RR results) who submit requests for reconsideration of applications based on the RR results and are subsequently made "better" offers
