DOHA: Qatar University (QU) has announced a new initiative to attract high-achieving secondary school students to make application for early conditional admission to undergraduate programmes for Fall 2015.
Nouf Al Kuwari, Director, Department of Admissions, said early conditional admission is provisional admission pending successful completion of the final year of high school and submission of all admission requirements.
Students granted early conditional admission will learn about results on March 26, and will gain placement in their first college of choice, she said. “The initiative is as exciting for us as students who will gain early admission.
“It is our way of promoting the qualities of perseverance and determination to succeed among students preparing for the next phase in their academic journey.
“It is also a motivating factor for them to work hard and push for excellence in their final scores. We look forward to receiving their applications and later welcoming them as the first early admits to QU”.
Qataris as well as students of Qatari parents in the 12th grade who have earned a minimum of 85 percent in 11th grade and 85 percent in the first semester of their 12th grade are eligible for admission consideration to the colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business and Economics, Education, Engineering, Law, Pharmacy and Shariah and Islamic Students; and 95 percent for admission to College of Medicine.
In addition to fulfilling regular official requirements, applicants seeking early conditional admission must also submit, by March 19, a certified copy of Grade 11 transcript, Grade 12 transcript of the first semester and a copy of their Qatar ID.
The department stressed that applicants who do not satisfy early conditional admission minimum requirements will still be considered for regular first-year admission upon submission of required documents, including final, official and certified high school transcripts before July 7.
