Only admitted students who have achieved the minimum English proficiency requirement will be allowed to register for courses as per their study plan without any further intensive pre-university English courses.

Admitted students with a EmSAT/IELTS score less than the specified minimum requirement will need to register for the University’s English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Program to help them attain the required higher EmSAT/IELTS score. (EAP courses are not transferable). Students will be placed in the appropriate level of the EAP program based on their IELTS or EmSAT score.

Registered students in EAP are allowed to enrol in general education courses, in conjunction with the corresponding level of EAP.

All students admitted to any of the accredited programs, with the exception of the Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Applied Sociology, are required to fulfil the Mathematics requirement. The math requirement may be met by passing the Math Placement Test OR providing a Grade 12 minimum Math score of 70% Advanced Stream OR SAT test minimum math score of 450/ Minimum EmSAT Math Score of 600.

Any student who has not met the mathematics requirement or achieved the required pass mark in the Mathematics Placement Test may be granted conditional admission - but such students will not be permitted to register in any Math or Statistics courses, or any course that has a math Prerequisite, until the successful completion of the necessary remedial-math course.

4. Conditional Admission

An applicant who does not meet all of the University Admission requirements may be granted conditional admission. The possible circumstances under which such conditional admission may be granted include:

Students who do not meet the English language proficiency requirement: these students must enroll in the EAP program in order to improve their English skills and achieve the required TOEFL/IELTS score.
Students who do not pass the Math Placement Test: these students must successfully complete the remedial math course before being allowed to register in any math course.
Students who have been unable to provide attested certificates or equivalency certificates: these students must provide the equivalency certificate before the end of their first semester.
Students who do not fulfil the program-specific minimum score of their High School Certificate may be granted conditional admission by the Dean of the Faculty. AN Undertaking must be signed by the student.

Conditionally admitted students due to nonfulfillment of the English Language Proficiency requirement can register only in a limited number of GED courses, along with one of the 3 levels of the EAP program, that does not require a good proficiency of the English Language. The maximum number of credit hours that can be completed before fulfilment of the English Language Proficiency requirement is limited to 12 credit hours.

Note: If the student fails to fulfil the English Language proficiency requirement at the end of the first semester, he is requested to enrol in EAP in his second semester and GED courses conditional on the total of earned GED credit hours and the registered ones do not exceed 12 credit hours.

Students, who are conditionally admitted for nonfulfillment of the average score in High School certificate, must register in at most 4 courses ( 12 credit hours) that were selected by the Dean or his representative who granted the conditional admission.
Students, who are conditionally admitted for pending results of EmSAT test due to the non-availability of seats, are allowed to register for 12 credit hours to be selected from the list of courses that are planned in the first semester.
Students, who are conditionally admitted for pending issuance of equivalency certificates, are allowed to register in 15 credit hours as per the study plan, knowing that CUD does not grant admission to holders of high school certificates that are unlikely to be equated by MOE.

If a student does not fulfil the specific probationary admission requirement, she/he may be subject to dismissal from the program or from the University.
