Forthcoming Student Programmes and Events in March to May 2020 Programme with No Screening There are no screening questions, written tests or other screening methods for this type of programmes. ⚫
Student members can select up to 5 programmes from a list of selections. Student members have to state the priority when submitting the application. (1st priority, 2nd priority, 3rd priority, etc.)
⚫
Application can only be submitted once. Once it is submitted, the priority and the programme selection cannot be changed.
⚫
If a student member withdraws from a programme before the application deadline, the choice priority will remain unchanged. (For example: A student selected three programmes and withdraws from the 1st priority programme. The choice of 2nd and 3rd priority will remain unchanged with no promotion in priority).
⚫
We will select the students based on the student’s choice of priorities and a randomly generated selection by the computer system. If there is a time clash between the applied programme and other programmes to offer, we will consider if the student will still be accepted.
⚫
Priority will be given to student members who have not completed the applied programmes.
⚫
Students should avoid applying programmes with time clash.
⚫
The decision of the HKAGE on the result of selection should be final.
