The course will be held in the summer before the start of the academic year. The passing grade for the course: 75
Applicants with 3 units of mathematics and grades of 75–84 may be admitted and will need to pass the mathematics course with a grade of at least 80.

Through a preparatory program

Special track

Exceptional admission

The College allows applicants who do not meet the above admission requirements to be admitted, up to 10% of the number of students admitted to each program. The considerations guiding exceptional admission are: special personal circumstances (such as professional experience in the relevant field); affirmative action for disadvantaged populations; expanding access to academic studies for applicants who are the first in their family to pursue higher education.

For adults and those who have studied before2

Graduates of the 30+ mechina

A graduate of the 30+ mechina will be considered to hold a bagrut certificate. Admission is conditional on taking the mathematics bridging course (see section B above). Graduates of 30+ mechina programs at other institutions cannot be admitted.
The course will be held in the summer before the start of the academic year. The passing grade for the course: 75

Holders of a recognized academic degree from Israel or abroad

Holders of a recognized academic degree from Israel or abroad will also be admitted.

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

The requirements are in the institution's words. Names and labels marked "our wording" are our own, written from the same page.
