In addition to HKDSE results, JUPAS applicants with special talents will also be considered for admission through Outstanding Sportsmen Recommendation Scheme (OSRS), Student-Athlete Learning Support and Admission Scheme (SALSA), School Principal's Nominations (SPN), Other Experiences and Achievements in Competitions / Activities (OEA) and School Nominations Direct Admission Scheme (SNDAS).

To enable sportsmen to manage their participation in trainings, competitions and academic studies, the normal duration for completing the schemes / programmes for students admitted via Outstanding Sportsmen Recommendation Scheme (OSRS) will be automatically extended for two years with retroactive effect from the 2020/21 intake cohort.

Eligible OSRS candidates will be considered automatically by the Student-Athlete Learning Support and Admission (SALSA) Scheme. Holistic support services will also be provided to student-athletes throughout their study at PolyU, please refer to here for details.

The School Nominations Direct Admission Scheme (SNDAS), proposed by the Task Force on Review of School Curriculum set up by the Education Bureau (EDB), aims at providing university education opportunities for talented students who are assessed as suitable for their preferred programmes based on parameters other than HKDSE results.
