Admission Process

Admission Process:
The Office of Admissions reviews each applicant’s qualifications based on a variety of criteria. All the information an applicant provides in the admission application is evaluated along with the applicant’s past academic record and proficiency in English.

English Proficiency:
Applicants must have a minimum score of 500/61 on the TOEFL or 6.0 on each subset of the IELTS examination. Applicants with diplomas from U.S. high schools may be admitted on the basis of SAT 1 (verbal reasoning) scores of 500 or ACT scores of 20. Those who score below this minimum should enter the Foundation Studies Program or a similar academic preparation program prior to seeking admission
Required Documents:
In order to be considered for admission to the Undergraduate Program, applicants must submit the following documents to the Admissions Office:

• Completed application form
• Original high school transcript
• Original high school diploma
• Original national ID (Tazkira or passport)
• Original official score report for either TOEFL or IELTS
• All documents that are presented must be original. Admissions staff will verify these documents, make copies, and return the originals to the applicant.

If the applicant qualifies for admission, he/she will be notified of this decision by the Admissions Office. In order to matriculate, the applicant must accept the offer of admission, in writing, and pay a 25,000 AFN non-refundable deposit. This deposit will count toward the student’s course fees for the semester. Prospective students and applicants should verify payment deadlines with the Admissions Office.

Once admitted to the Undergraduate Program, each student will be tested on English writing, mathematics, and computer literacy. He/she will be placed into classes appropriate for his/her proficiency in these fields. Some students may be required to take one or more non-credit remedial courses.
