Electronic Advance Application System for Post-secondary Programmes (E-APP)

Apart from making direct applications to institutions to apply for the locally accredited post-secondary programmes not covered by JUPAS, students could also lodge their applications via the E-APP. E-APP will transfer the submitted applications to respective institutions. Upon the receipt of applications, institutions will process the applications and contact the students directly, in the same way as those applications submitted directly to the institutions.
