Self Recommendation Scheme at HKU
Introduction
We
are dedicated to whole-person education. Many HKU programmes have already
been taking into account applicants' achievements in extra-curricular activities
and community services in arriving at admissions decisions in the past. In affirmation of our belief in the holistic development of individuals,
HKU has joined the JUPAS Self Recommendation Scheme (SRS) starting from
the 2006-2007 admissions exercise.
Eligibility
If
you have outstanding non-academic achievements, you are encouraged to let
us know by joining the SRS, so that we can take these into account when
making admissions decisions. The University will consider your SRS submission
provided that you have:
-
listed
one or more HKU programmes among your JUPAS Band A choices after the reprioritization
exercise; and
-
satisfied
the University minimum entrance requirements as well as the entrance requirements
of the chosen programmes.
Participation
in the SRS is however entirely voluntary. Don't feel compelled to do so. If you don't join the SRS, your JUPAS application will continue to be considered
based on your academic results and such other aspects as interview performance
and principal's nomination.
Application
You
should submit an e-portfolio of your non-academic achievements by completing
the "Self Recommendation Portfolio" section under your online JUPAS application
form at the JUPAS website
no later than February 27, 2010.
Assessment
The
information you submitted under the SRS and through the JUPAS will be considered
alongside your public examination results. Candidates selected under the
SRS would be given a higher priority in the merit order list for the JUPAS
iteration during the main round exercise. The University will not however
inform applicants separately of the decisions under the SRS.
Contact Us
You
will be able to find detailed application instructions at the JUPAS
website. For further queries, e-mail us at admissions@hku.hk
or call us on 2859 2433.
