Types of Admission

Home  >  Admissions  >  Bachelor's Degrees  >  Admissions Procedures  >  Types of Admission

Early Admission

If you are in your final year of secondary school, you are encouraged to apply for early admission by submitting official grade reports from at least the last two years previous to the final year of secondary school and SAT scores (as applicable). Since seats are usually limited, it is especially important for applicants to the College of Engineering and the College of Architecture, Art and Design to apply early to reserve a seat. Applicants with the highest grades who have the required TOEFL score or IELTS score (and SAT scores as applicable) will be given priority in admission consideration. Early admission is only offered to highly qualified applicants and is not considered final until students submit the following before being allowed to register for classes:

  • a recognized and officially certified secondary school certificate or equivalent showing successful completion of secondary education
  • all other items as requested in the Letter of Admission. Processing of early admissions applications for fall semester starts during the month of March. Processing of applications for spring semester starts during the month of October.

Regular Admission

If you have completed your secondary school education and have a secondary school certificate, you can apply through the regular admission procedure. To do so, you must submit the following documents:

  • a recognized and officially certified secondary school certificate or equivalent and the grades from the last three years of secondary schooling showing your grade average and class rank (if available)
  • officially certified documentation of national secondary school final exams results (if taken)
  • SAT/ACT scores (as applicable)

Processing of regular admissions applications for fall semester starts during the month of May. Processing of applications for spring semester starts during the month of October.
