FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Module Reference
Title
Does SNDAS accept applications from non-local students?
Description
SNDAS only accepts local students pursuing local secondary curriculum and taking HKDSE Examinations. Title
Do HKUST programs have specific subject requirements for their SNDAS applicants?
Description
Some programs prefer good performance in specific subjects in their admissions requirements. Title
If I have an offer from SNDAS, what will happen to my JUPAS application?
Description
You need to decide whether to accept the offer by the offer acceptance deadline as stipulated in the offer letter. Once the offer is accepted, your JUPAS applications will automically be removed from the JUPAS application system and you will not be considered / accepted by other JUPAS programs in the same Entry Year regardless of your HKDSE Examination results. Title
What happens if I did not receive / reject the SNDAS offer?
Description
Your JUPAS application will continue to be processed and considered by the JUPAS-participating institutions for admissions after the release of your HKDSE results. Title
Can I be nominated for both School Principal’s Nominations Scheme (SPN) of JUPAS and SNDAS at the same time?
Description
No, students nominated for the SPN under JUPAS will not be eligible for nomination under SNDAS and vice versa. Title
Can I be awarded for both BAAS and SNDAS at the same time?
Description
The spirit of SNDAS is to embrace students with outstanding non-academic talents, which is synchronized with the mission of the Beyond Academic Admissions Scholarship (BAAS). Riding on this, HKUST extended the scope of BAAS to SNDAS, offering the ‘School Nominations Direct Admission Scheme Scholarship’ (SNDAS Scholarship). Once SNDAS awardees accept the admissions offer and receive the SNDAS scholarship, they will not be further considered by BAAS. Title
Am I still eligible for the admissions scholarship for HKDSE qualification?
Description
Yes, students admitted via SNDAS are not participating in the JUPAS practice anymore, they can still receive admissions scholarships for HKDSE qualification should they obtain corresponding levels of HKDSE exam results.

Title
Does SNDAS accept applications from non-local students?
Description
SNDAS only accepts local students pursuing local secondary curriculum and taking HKDSE Examinations. Title
Do HKUST programs have specific subject requirements for their SNDAS applicants?
Description
Some programs prefer good performance in specific subjects in their admissions requirements. Title
If I have an offer from SNDAS, what will happen to my JUPAS application?
Description
You need to decide whether to accept the offer by the offer acceptance deadline as stipulated in the offer letter. Once the offer is accepted, your JUPAS applications will automically be removed from the JUPAS application system and you will not be considered / accepted by other JUPAS programs in the same Entry Year regardless of your HKDSE Examination results. Title
What happens if I did not receive / reject the SNDAS offer?

Can I be nominated for both School Principal’s Nominations Scheme (SPN) of JUPAS and SNDAS at the same time?
Description
No, students nominated for the SPN under JUPAS will not be eligible for nomination under SNDAS and vice versa. Title
Can I be awarded for both BAAS and SNDAS at the same time?
Description
The spirit of SNDAS is to embrace students with outstanding non-academic talents, which is synchronized with the mission of the Beyond Academic Admissions Scholarship (BAAS). Riding on this, HKUST extended the scope of BAAS to SNDAS, offering the ‘School Nominations Direct Admission Scheme Scholarship’ (SNDAS Scholarship). Once SNDAS awardees accept the admissions offer and receive the SNDAS scholarship, they will not be further considered by BAAS. Title
Am I still eligible for the admissions scholarship for HKDSE qualification?
Description
Yes, students admitted via SNDAS are not participating in the JUPAS practice anymore, they can still receive admissions scholarships for HKDSE qualification should they obtain corresponding levels of HKDSE exam results.
