Updating of Programme Choices: From "My DRAFT Programme Choices" to "My CONFIRMED Programme Choices"

Step 1: Select programme choices in "My DRAFT Programme Choices"

  1. Applicants may select a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 20 programme choices from those listed here.  There is no restriction on the programme choices selected across different funding categories / institutions, provided that the total number does not exceed 20.

  2. Applicants are required to list their programme choices in order of preference and should carefully review their selection.  If applicants include programmes they do not wish to pursue, they will still be considered for admission to those programmes.

  3. Any programme choices contained in "My DRAFT Programme Choices", under any circumstances, are the working drafts only and would NEITHER be:

    1. considered by the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions; nor

    2. automatically submitted to "My CONFIRMED Programme Choices".

Step 2: Submit "My DRAFT Programme Choices" to "My CONFIRMED Programme Choices"

  1. Applicants must submit "My DRAFT Programme Choices" to "My CONFIRMED Programme Choices" in order to be considered by the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and / or the SSSDP institutions.

  2. The deadline for updating of programme choices is 27 May 2026 (5:00 pm).  Late submission / further updating is NOT accepted.

  3. Upon successful submission, a confirmation page will display the programme choices saved in applicants' JUPAS accounts.

  4. Applicants will also receive emails#^ (containing their CONFIRMED programme choices) and SMS^ from the JUPAS Office upon successful submission.

    It is the sole responsibility of the applicants to check these messages carefully.  If these confirmation messages are not received after completing the relevant procedures, applicants should contact the JUPAS Office immediately.

Applicants are strongly advised to retain copies of the confirmation pages and messages as evidence of successful submission of programme choices.  In the event of any disputes or queries, the JUPAS Office will ONLY accept these retained pages and messages as valid proof.  No other forms of documentation are accepted.

Upon submission, applicants are also advised to log in to their JUPAS accounts to review that their programme choices have been successfully submitted and saved.

As email is one of the channels that the JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions will use to contact applicants, applicants must ensure that the setting of their personal email accounts will not filter out or place such correspondence in the trash / junk / spam folders.

^ Emails and SMS are delivered via third party network providers and therefore the JUPAS Office is not responsible for any delay, loss, transfer, amendment or damage arising from the transmission process via third party network providers.

Should there be any discrepancies between information contained in emails and SMS and applicants' JUPAS accounts, the information contained in the latter (i.e. the JUPAS accounts) shall prevail.

Applicants are strongly advised to log in to their JUPAS accounts to double-check the related information.

Since important messages and correspondence from the JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions will be sent via applicants' mobile phone numbers and / or mailing addresses, applicants SHOULD NEVER share their mobile phone numbers or mailing addresses with other applicants in order to protect any information related to their JUPAS applications.

 SMS will be sent with the Registered SMS Sender ID of #JUPAS to a valid Hong Kong mobile phone number.
