About JUPAS

Rechecking and Remarking of HKDSE Examination Results

1 How can applicants submit applications for rechecking and remarking of their HKDSE Examination results?

Applicants should submit applications for rechecking and remarking of their HKDSE Examination results to the HKEAA.  Please contact the HKEAA at (852) 3628 8860 for further information.

Results of rechecking and remarking of HKDSE Examination results will be released by the HKEAA on 12 August 2026*.

2 Do applicants have to submit the RR results to the JUPAS Office after they are informed by the HKEAA?

NO.  ALL past and / or current HKDSE Examination results (including RR results as applicable) of the applicants will be obtained from the HKEAA by the JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions, provided that they have used the same identity document (i.e. HKID card) number to register for both their JUPAS accounts and their HKDSE Examination.

At the time of application, applicants must authorise, via the JUPAS accounts at the "Declaration" page, the JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions to obtain, and the HKEAA to release, their relevant results in support of their applications.  Therefore, applicants are not required to submit their RR results to the JUPAS Office.

3 Can applicants decline their offers / "better" offers received after Reconsideration in order to be further considered in the Clearing Round?

NO.  Applicants with offers / "better" offers after Reconsideration have been given offers of the highest possible priority on their programme choice lists and thus the offers / "better" offers they received are the BEST AND ONLY offers possible, regardless of whether they are UGC-funded programmes, HKMU self-financing programmes or SSSDP programmes.  They will therefore NOT be reconsidered for admission to any other programmes in the Clearing Round, regardless of whether they accept or decline such offers.

Applicants who fail to pay the acceptance fee / indicate their acceptance of the "better" offers via their JUPAS accounts (as appropriate) by the deadline (20 August 2026 (5:00 pm)*) and / or fail to complete the registration / enrolment procedures at the respective institutions within the period specified will be regarded as having declined their offers / "better" offers.  They will NOT be reconsidered for admission to any other programmes under JUPAS in the same academic year (2026 – 2027).

Please refer to the Summary of Arrangements for Announcement and Acceptance of Offers for more information.

4 If applicants have paid the acceptance fee for their Main Round offers, should they pay the acceptance fee for the "better" offers again?

Applicants who have paid the acceptance fee for their Main Round offers and wish to accept the "better" offers after Reconsideration NEED NOT pay the acceptance fee again for the "better" offers.  However, they MUST indicate their acceptance of the "better" offers by 20 August 2026 (5:00 pm)* via their JUPAS accounts.  The JUPAS Office will then arrange for the transfer of the acceptance fee from their Main Round offers to the "better" offers.

5 Can applicants choose to accept either the Main Round offers or the "better" offers?

NO.  Applicants CANNOT choose to accept either the Main Round offers or the "better" offers.  Once applicants are given "better" offers (i.e. the highest possible priority on their programme choice lists, and also the FINAL offers in the same academic year (2026 – 2027)), their original Main Round offers will be withdrawn immediately regardless of whether they accept or decline such offers (i.e. whether they have paid the acceptance fee of HK$5,000 / indicated their acceptance of the "better" offers via their JUPAS accounts or completed their registration / enrolment procedures at the respective institutions).  They will NOT be reconsidered for admission to any other programmes under JUPAS in the same academic year (2026 – 2027).

Applicants who are already satisfied with their Main Round offers and / or do not wish to be reconsidered for "better" offers NEED NOT submit requests for Reconsideration.

6 If the Main Round offers are newly added programmes during the modifications of programme choices, will these programmes offered in the Main Round still remain in the programme choice lists when applicants submit requests for Reconsideration?

YES.  The programmes the applicants have been offered in the Main Round, which are newly added programmes during the modifications of programme choices choices (i.e. the period 16 July – 18 July 2026*), will still remain in the applicants' programme choice lists when they submit requests for Reconsideration .

For applicants submitting requests for Reconsideration WITHOUT modifications of programme choices:

Applicants' programme choices as at the deadline for modification of programme choices after the release of the HKDSE Examination results (18 July 2026 (1:15 pm)*) will be considered by the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and / or the SSSDP institutions.  Applicants should log in to their JUPAS accounts again to verify their submitted programme choices.

If the programmes applicants have been offered in the Main Round are their first choice as at the deadline for modification of programme choices, applicants' requests for Reconsideration will NOT be processed.

For applicants submitting requests for Reconsideration WITH modifications of programme choices:

Applicants' programme choices as at 27 May 2026 (5:00 pm) will be restored to "My DRAFT Programme Choices".  The programmes the applicants have been offered in the Main Round will be placed at the end of the programme choice lists.  Applicants are only allowed to submit a maximum of 20 programme choices.

In this regard, these applicants can only add / replace a maximum of 4 new programme choices to the original programme choice lists (provided that the total number of programme choices does not exceed 20) when submitting requests for Reconsideration since 1 out of the 5 quota for adding new programme choices has been taken up by the original programmes they have been offered in the Main Round which are NOT allowed to be deleted at this stage.

Applicants are reminded that they should place the programmes they wish to be reconsidered for "better" offers ABOVE the programmes they have been offered in the Main Round.  Only the programmes placed ABOVE the Main Round offers will be reconsidered by the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and / or the SSSDP institutions.

7 If applicants have submitted requests for Reconsideration without modifications of programme choices, can they still modify their programme choices at a later stage?

YES.  Applicants can still modify their programme choices before the deadline for submission of request for Reconsideration (13 August 2026 (5:00 pm)*) ONCE only, free of charge.

After this, a one-time only resubmission (based on the programme choice lists as at 27 May 2026 (11:59 pm)) is available for a non-refundable and non-transferable fee of HK$250.  Applicants who wish to request a resubmission should contact the JUPAS Office by phone as soon as possible and no later than the extended operating hours of the JUPAS Office 13 August 2026 (7:00 pm)*.

The resubmission MUST be completed by 13 August 2026 (7:00 pm)*.  No further changes to the programme choices are allowed after this deadline.

8 Will the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions arrange interviews for applicants after they have submitted the requests for Reconsideration?

It will be solely the decisions of the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions on whether interviews will be arranged.

9 If applicants have financial difficulties in paying the acceptance fee before the specified deadline, what should they do?

Applicants who have financial difficulties in paying the acceptance fee before the specified deadline should contact the institutions offering them admissions directly as soon as possible for advice and assistance.

The related information for financial assistance of respective institutions will be announced in due course.

11 Can applicants choose NOT to submit requests for Reconsideration?

YES.  Applicants who are already satisfied with their Main Round offers and / or do not wish to be reconsidered for "better" offers NEED NOT submit requests for Reconsideration.
