He urged students to follow the official channels of the Authority and the college to stay informed about relevant schedules and instructions.

Dr. Al-Kandari called on all admitted students to confirm their admission by no later than Saturday, September 5, 2026, through the Authority’s website or the “Sahl” application. He emphasized that failure to confirm admission within the specified deadline will result in automatic cancellation of admission.

He also clarified that fixed academic schedules for new students will be prepared and distributed according to majors, colleges, and institutes, contributing to students’ continuity in their studies from the beginning of the semester. He encouraged all admitted students to follow announcements and instructions via the official channels of the Authority, colleges, and institutes to stay updated on any developments related to advising procedures, personal interviews, academic schedules, and the start of classes.

Regarding the Fire Engineering Technology major, Dr. Al-Kandari explained that the final admission results for this specialty will be announced later in coordination with the General Fire Force.
