Admission arrangements for 2013 Direct / Non-JUPAS applicants

Applicants holding a 12-year school-leaving qualification or an incomplete sub-degree qualification are generally admitted to a college or school, and select their major after one year of study. At the end of the first year, the top 20% of students (based on (i) completion of at least 30 credit units in Semesters A and B; (ii) no failed grades in any courses in Semesters A and B; and (iii) cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at the end of Semester B) will be able to freely choose from the majors offered by the College. The remaining students (80%) will be assigned a major of their choice, subject to the availability and the individual student’s ability to meet the selection criteria set by the College.

Applicants holding a 13-year school-leaving qualification, such as a Hong Kong Advanced-Level Examination (HKALE), an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, a General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (GCEAL) qualification may apply for admission to a college or school, or to a major programme, and may receive Advanced Standing I. The minimum graduation requirement for Advanced Standing I students is 90 credits (instead of the 120 credits in a standard four-year curriculum), subject to the requirements of individual majors.

Associate degree or higher diploma graduates may be admitted with Advanced Standing II or Advanced Standing I, depending on whether their admission is to a senior year or a non-senior year place. Credit transfer will not be considered for advanced standing students.
