1. For Bahrain and KSA qualifications, the applicant should have at least a secondary school average of 60%.  For non-Bahrain secondary qualifications (Indian and Pakistan) the applicant should have at least 41% secondary school average; and for other non-Bahraini qualifications please refer to the table of cut-off.
2. If the applicant has taken and passed courses in English and Mathematics in the previous university, the applicant will be exempted from taking the remedial courses in both English and Mathematics. The applicant may proceed to mainstream university courses and is eligible to apply for credit transfer.
3. If the applicant has not taken any courses in English, he/she shall take the OOPT. If the results on the two parts of OOPT results are passed, he will proceed to university English courses, otherwise, he/she will enroll the remedial courses in English where he/she fails.
4. If the applicant has not taken any course in Mathematics, the basis for evaluating whether a remedial course in mathematics is required or not is the score in mathematics subjects in his/her last year in the secondary school certificate using the table presented earlier.

The transfer of course credits is accepted at the University provided that courses applied for crediting are equivalent to the courses where the credit will be transferred.

The University requires the undergraduate student to complete at least 50% of the required credit units/hours of a programme in residence at the University. The maximum credit units/hours that are eligible for transfer credits should not exceed two-thirds (66%) of the required credit units/hours based on his/her original degree from another university.

Practicum (Internship) course is eligible for credit transfer with the same practicum (internship) course from another university or re-admitted student from the University.
