Before the beginning of each academic year, the University Council determines the number of students that can be accommodated in each faculty and program. The university abides by the admission criteria approved by the Higher Education Council in the Ministry, so that students who apply to the university are accepted competitively according to the student’s average in high school and other criteria determined by the admission committee and the concerned authorities at the university, provided that the student’s average in high school is not less than the minimum approved by the council Higher education, and that the general secondary branch is in harmony with the program that the applicant will enroll in according to the instructions of the Higher Education Council. The high school rate (minimum) for each program offered by the university is determined based on the number of applicants for initial admission applications for that program, and accordingly, the competitive rate changes every year and is not fixed. Students who hold a “Bajrut” certificate and “IB, SAT, CAT, GC” certificates are accepted after they are equalized by the Ministry of Higher Education and their marks are transferred internally from the Admission Department to the equivalent of the Palestinian high school marks, and then the standards are applied to them. As for the statute of limitations, no more than 10 years must have passed since obtaining a high school diploma for all colleges. As for the dates for submitting applications for admission, it is determined each year, bearing in mind that these instructions are subject to annual amendment by the competent authorities at the university.
