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 of 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 entire 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 information.

YES.  Local applicants can select only the SSSDP designated FYFD programmes in their programme choice lists, and have the discretion to decide how many and what programmes they wish to choose.  There is no restriction on the programme choices selected across different funding categories / institutions, provided that the total number does not exceed 20.

The determination of applicants' suitability for admission is solely the decisions of the SSSDP institutions and is independent of the JUPAS Office.  Enquiries regarding the SSSDP institutions' decisions should be directed to the respective SSSDP institutions.

Admission to the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions is on a competitive basis, as the number of available places is generally fewer than the number of eligible applicants.  Therefore, meeting 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, and any additional information provided by applicants in their JUPAS accounts).

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;
