我們明白不少學生運動員均於公開試年度暫停體育鍛鍊以專心備試，一般情況下科大 SAAS 遴選委員會將重點考慮申請人過去 2 年甚至以上的體育成績，而我們建議申請人盡可能遞交所有體育成績。

由於疫情關係，我們明白大部分本地運動員已無法出賽長達兩年，科大 SAAS 遴選委員會將作酌情處理，考慮申請人過去 3 年或以上的體育成績。

科大的 SAAS 考慮全部所有運動項目。所有具一定水平或成就的本地運動員均具備申請科大 SAAS 的資格。

科大 SAAS 並不設任何限額於報名人的運動種類、所報讀的課程/學院、性別、入學途徑（聯招或非聯招）等。科大一直秉持「擇優而錄」的收生原則，將對所有經遴選產生的學生運動員發出（有條件）入學通知書和獎學金。

團體項目與否並不影響遴選機會。科大 SAAS 遴選委員會將仔細檢示申請人的能力、成就和潛質。科大一直秉持「擇優而錄」的收生原則，將對所有經遴選產生的學生運動員發出入學通知書和獎學金，一視同仁。

成功經過 SAAS 遴選的聯招 SAAS 申請學生將於文憑試放榜日以前獲取由科大發出的特別取錄通知書 Special Admission Offer(s) 及獎學金通知書 Scholarship Offer。

成功之 SAAS 申請人的全部20個聯招選擇中，所有已選的科大課程均可能配對一個特別取錄，並不限於 Band A 的3個課程。然而，科大SAAS的特別取錄所對應的課程最終必須被放在 Band A 才正式生效，因此 SAAS 申請人須於文憑試放榜後的免費更改聯招排位時確認 Band A 排位。

若 SAAS 申請人所選擇的聯招課程必須經過入學面試考核（Admissions Interview），請 SAAS 申請人務必選放該課程於 Band A，才有機會獲得科大的入學面試邀請。詳情請參閱科大聯招入學資訊。

非聯招（Non-JUPAS）學生運動員若已提交一般入學申請，科大仍十分歡迎並鼓勵同學於 SAAS 申請限期（2023年3月31日）之前，盡早提交 SAAS 的報名申請以進一步獲得特別入學考慮 。若申請 SAAS 成功，科大或會更改或新增申請人已獲發的入學取錄和獎學金。

由於一般入學申請和 SAAS 申請是由不同的有關部門檢示和評核，我們建議申請人於兩者中亦詳細提及自己的體育成就。

科大將以電郵形式邀請所有經初步篩選的 SAAS 申請人進行面試，面試形式（線上或線下）視屆時疫情狀況而定。面試為 SAAS 整體遴選過程中重要的一環，申請人宜充分展示自己的能力、目標，和良好的態度。

然而，SAAS 面試和一般入學面試（Admissions Interviews）為互不影響的考核。因應申請人的課程選擇，申請人有可能須先後出席多個面試。

一般而言，SAAS 遴選委員會藉著面試的機會，進一步檢示與覆核申請人的體育成就和能力，並了解申請人於運動發展上及學業發展上的目標，和申請人的個人性格及態度等。面試大多以申請人的母語進行。

Generally speaking, HKUST SAAS considers all sports achievements and records within 2 years backdating from the time of application. Student athletes who have paused sports development in their graduating year are equally welcome to apply.

However, given that most if not all competitions were hindered by the pandemic for some time already, HKUST SAAS is now considering sports achievements and records within the most recent 3 years and more by discretion.

HKUST SAAS considers all kinds of sports. ALL student athletes with good sporting achievements, locally or internationally, are eligible and encouraged to apply.

HKUST SAAS does NOT set any quota on the types of sports, school/program for application, gender, or admissions curriculum (JUPAS and Non-JUPAS) and so forth. HKUST, as always, take in whomever meets the standards.

Whether it is a team sport or an individual sport, ALL competent student athletes will be considered on the same ground.

Successful SAAS candidates will receive admissions and scholarship offers from HKUST before the HKDSE result release date.

Every HKUST program choice among all 20 JUPAS choices of a successful SAAS candidate might be matched with a special admissions offer, regardless of its band position before HKDSE results release. However, the HKUST SAAS special admissions offers are only effective if they end up in Band A of the candidate’s final program choices, so successful SAAS applicants shall pay extra attention to their Band A final decisions.

In addition, if an SAAS candidate applies to any HKUST program which requires an admissions interview, please put such HKUST program in a Band A position to earn the interview invitation. For details, please see HKUST JUPAS Admissions Information.

If a Non-JUPAS student athlete has already submitted the general admissions application, HKUST still welcomes and encourages the applicant to submit an application for SAAS by the application deadline on 31 Mar 2022 to receive favorable admissions considerations. If a student succeeds in his/her SAAS application, HKUST may revise the admission offer(s) and scholarship arrangement.

Yes, since your admission application and SAAS application will be reviewed by different parties, it is to your benefits to include your sports achievements in both of your application profiles.

All shortlisted applicants will be invited for an interview. Successful applicants will receive one or multiple conditional offer(s) before the result release date of their public examinations. Those who already had final public examination results will receive an official offer(s).

However, please do not confuse the SAAS interview with the admissions interview, which is held for all applicants in general. If you are being invited to both interviews at different dates and times, please do attend both for your benefit. For the types of academic programs that require admissions interviews mandatorily, please visit our admissions website.

Through the SAAS interview, the panel aims to understand the applicants’ personality, sporting and academic goals and competence, and, if applicable, to clarify any unclear information in the application.
