Acceptance of 13,495 students at the Applied Sciences University
Dean of Admissions and Registration, Dr. Mohammed Taleb Al-Kandari, clarified that admissions were conducted in accordance with the approved admissions plan and governing regulations, based on minimum admission ratios, applicants’ ranked preferences, and the availability of seats. He noted that the total number of admitted students reached 13,495 out of 14,638, with 8,932 admitted for the first semester and 4,563 for the second semester.
Dr. Al-Kandari pointed out that admission to the College of Nursing and certain majors within the College of Health Sciences required passing the aptitude test and a personal interview, as these are mandatory requirements for these programs.
He urged all admitted students to confirm their admission by no later than Saturday, September 5, 2026, through the Authority’s website or the “Sahl” application, emphasizing that failure to confirm admission within the specified deadline will result in automatic cancellation of their admission.
He also clarified that fixed academic schedules for new students will be prepared and distributed according to majors, colleges, and institutes, to ensure students’ continuity in their studies from the beginning of the semester.
Furthermore, he encouraged all admitted students to follow announcements and instructions through the official channels of the Authority, colleges, and institutes to stay informed about any updates regarding counseling 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 program will be announced later in coordination with the General Fire Force. He urged students who were contacted to temporarily confirm their admission to an alternative major, noting that those ultimately admitted to the Fire Engineering Technology major will be allowed to transfer to it. As for those not admitted to this major, they will have the option to either continue in the alternative major or cancel their admission.
