Important Notices

The JUPAS participating-institutions have NO ACCESS to individual applicants' actual priority of programme choices until after the announcement of the Main Round offer results.

(Please refer to section Actual Priority of Programme Choices)

To ensure that JUPAS remains a fair and objective system for applicants, official advice (including information dissemination, career guidance, programme counselling, formal / informal contacts with applicants, etc.) will NOT be given by the JUPAS participating-institutions to applicants during the period between the announcement of the HKDSE results and the deadline for modification of study programme choices (i.e. between 20 July - 23 July 2012*), regardless of who initiates the approach.

(Please refer to section Information on Study Programmes)

JUPAS participating-institutions will NOT enter into private deals (verbal or written, or conditional offers) with applicants at any time of the entire JUPAS exercise.

Notwithstanding the above, conditional offers, where applicable, may be made but will be confined to the following:

Other Experiences and Achievements in Competitions / Activities;
School Principal's Nominations;
Applicants with a Disability;
Outstanding Sportsmen Admission / Recommendation (run by individual institutions)

Applicants will be notified of the outcome of the (a) - (c) above via the JUPAS online application system.

(Please refer to section Important Dates for the 2012 Main Exercise)

Participating-institutions may give feedback on interviews for some programmes to applicants. These however DO NOT constitute or entail an offer / a conditional offer.

HKDSE results are NOT the only factors that determine if applicants will be accepted to any programme of the 9 participating-institutions under JUPAS. Other considerations may include performance in interviews and / or tests, banding of programme choices, overall grades achieved by other applicants in the current year, and the number of applicants applying to the programme, and other factors.
Admission to the institutions is on a competitive basis, as the number of places available is normally far less than the number of eligible applicants. Satisfying the minimum entrance requirements of an institution or a programme does not therefore guarantee admission.
Determination of applicants' suitability for admission is entirely the decision of the 9 participating-institutions and is entirely independent of the JUPAS Office. Enquiries on the institutions' decisions should be directed towards the institutions concerned.

(Please refer to section Iteration Process)

Applicants with upgraded HKDSE results will NOT be disadvantaged in that as long as the new position of the results of these applicants on the merit order list of the programme with the upgraded results is higher than the Main Round cut-off point (i.e. the last applicant admitted) of that particular programme, they will be offered admission to the programme concerned.

(Please refer to section HKDSE Appeal Cases)

The JUPAS website (http://www.jupas.edu.hk) IS the official publication of JUPAS and information from any other source is unofficial and for which JUPAS is not responsible.
Applicants can access further information on individual participating-institutions and their programmes at their respective websites.
