[Pages:9]THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG

DIRECT ADMISSIONS SCHEME TO SENIOR YEAR PLACES ("DAS") FOR UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION IN SEPTEMBER 2018

GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS

I) GENERAL INFORMATION

The procedures and information in this document apply to graduates of recognised full-time Associate Degree (AD) or Higher Diploma (HD) programmes offered by community colleges in Hong Kong who wish to apply for direct entry to senior year places of the designated programmes listed here. Final-year students on such sub-degree programmes can also apply, and admission, if applicable, will be subject to the completion of the AD or HD programme by August 2018.

The following categories of applicants should apply through the International/Non-JUPAS Admissions Scheme instead:

- Applicants who would like to apply for direct entry to senior year places based on qualifications other than an AD or HD awarded by a community college in Hong Kong;

- Applicants who are currently enrolled in a bachelor's degree / higher degree programme at a tertiary institution and would like to transfer to the University;

- Applicants who have once enrolled in a bachelor's degree / higher degree programme at a tertiary institution and completed one or more year(s) of studies, irrespective of whether the qualifications have been awarded; and

- AD or HD graduates / final-year students from a community college in Hong Kong who are interested in programmes other than those offering senior year places.

Each applicant can only submit ONE application through any one of the admissions schemes, namely JUPAS, International/Non-JUPAS Admissions Scheme, DAS, and Admission of Undergraduate Students from the Mainland, for admission in any one academic year. Duplicate applications under a particular admissions scheme or across different admissions schemes will not be considered by the University and application fees paid are non-refundable.

Incorrect or misrepresented information given in the application will disqualify the application and any offer(s) made by the University will be withdrawn.

Closing Date

Application will be closed on November 16, 2017 (12:00 noon Hong Kong Time). Applications submitted after the deadline will be considered as late applications, which will be accepted before July 15, 2018 (12:00 noon Hong Kong Time). As undergraduate places are being filled all the time, you may wish to apply for admission as early as possible.

Please note that an acknowledgment e-mail will be sent to you immediately after successful submission of the online application. If you do not receive the

Page 1 of 9

acknowledgment e-mail, you may check with the Admissions Office by phone at (852) 3917 5886 or by e-mail to admissions@hku.hk.

Application Fee

All applicants are required to pay an application fee of HK$450 and the fee is non-refundable.

Choice of Curriculum

You should submit only ONE application for admission in any one academic year, but you are permitted to indicate up to five choices of curriculum in your application. Before proceeding with your application, please check the University entrance requirements and the programme specific requirements here to make sure that you are eligible for admission to the curriculum you wish to apply for.

Changes to the choice(s) of curriculum will not be allowed after submission of the application. Please be sure that the degree curriculum you wish to apply for has/have been correctly chosen in your application.

Interviews and Results

You may be called for an interview or test at any time after submission of the application (a tentative interview schedule is made available at here for reference). Please however note that not all applicants are required to attend an interview or test and not all programmes conduct these assessments; being invited to an interview or test is not an indicator of the chance of admission. You will be notified by the Faculty / Programme Office of the arrangements for any interview or test individually, if applicable.

You will be informed by e-mail if you are offered admission to the University and you are required to pay a deposit (currently HK$10,000, but subject to change) on your acceptance of the offer by the date specified in the offer letter or the offer will be withdrawn automatically. You can also view your application status using your registered application account. Candidates should consider their application as unsuccessful if they do not hear from the University by the end of August 2018. Please note that all documents will not be returned once submitted, and will be destroyed if the application is unsuccessful.

Composition Fees

The composition fees for local and non-local students are different. According to the definition laid down by the University Grants Committee, non-local students are persons entering Hong Kong for the purpose of education with a student visa / entry permit issued by the Director of Immigration. The annual composition fee for local students admitted in the academic year 2017-2018 is HK$42,100, and that for 2018-2019 has yet to be decided pending the Government's advice but we do not expect it to differ significantly from the current fee. The composition fee for non-local students admitted in 2018-2019 is HK$161,000.
