Kuwait University: Applications for the first semester begin tomorrow, Saturday

Dr. Fadel Aziz, Acting Dean of Admissions and Registration at Kuwait University, announced that the period for submitting applications for the first semester of the 2026/2027 academic year will begin tomorrow, Saturday, and continue until July 28, via the electronic admissions system.

In a press statement on Friday, Dr. Aziz said that applications include Kuwaiti students who graduated from the unified system, the Religious Institute, and the American High School, as well as graduates of the British high school system expected to graduate from schools in the State of Kuwait. He clarified that applications are submitted electronically through the admissions system, while the Dean of Admissions and Registration at the Sabah Al-Salem Campus will receive applications from Kuwaiti students holding high school certificates from outside the State of Kuwait between July 22 and July 28, in accordance with the approved timeline.

He urged students who meet the admission requirements to adhere to the specified deadlines and complete all application requirements within the announced period.

Dr. Aziz added that the university continues to accept transfer applications from students transferring from other universities, colleges of the General Authority for Applied Education and Training, and the Saad Al-Abdullah Academy for Security Sciences, as well as members of the Kuwaiti Armed Forces and the National Guard, until August 13, in accordance with the regulations and controls governing transfer and admission processes. He noted that the approval of admission for Kuwaiti students who graduated from American and British high schools and applied electronically will take place between August 3 and 4.

Dr. Aziz emphasized that admission to Kuwait University is based on the approved admission policy, the equivalent grade point average or high school certificate percentage, according to the requirements of each college, and the minimum admission thresholds, which vary from one college to another. He urged students to select and rank their preferences according to their true priorities and not to settle for listing only one preference.

He explained that carefully ranking preferences gives students greater opportunities for admission to their desired majors based on their grades and fulfillment of admission requirements. He encouraged students to consult the admissions guide, utilize academic counseling services, and verify the accuracy of submitted data and documents before completing their applications, thereby facilitating smooth and precise admission procedures and enabling informed academic decisions that align with their capabilities and aspirations.
