The 30+ Short Preparatory Program (short mechina) for applicants over 30 years old

This program is intended for applicants over 30 years old, provided they have a certificate of completion for 12th grade. The program is considered an alternative to a bagrut certificate and allows students who successfully complete it to enroll at the college, after meeting the admission requirements.

These are minimum requirements: meeting them does not by itself guarantee admission.

For every track

All applicants must have 3 units in Arabic with a grade of 80 or higher, or 4 units with a grade of 70 or higher, except applicants to the Arabic language specialization, who must have 4 units with a grade of 80 or higher.
Applicants must pass the Yael exam with a grade of 85 or higher to enroll in colleges that do not use Hebrew as the language of instruction
Applicants must take the Arabic entrance exam through Marmanet and receive a score of 70 or higher
Applicants wishing to enroll in programs in humanities fields must have a bagrut certificate with 4–5 units in English.
Entrance exam in Hebrew (Yael exam)Students with a score between 80–84 may be admitted as an exception (within the 10% quota).
Students who meet the above requirements are summoned to appear before the special admissions committee for the program and take internal exams. The highest achievers among them are selected because places are limited.
