Exceptional admission

The departmental admissions committee will consider and decide whether to admit or reject applicants in exceptional cases (who do not meet the regular admission requirements) in the following cases: • When there is a gap between the applicant’s psychometric score and the psychometric score required by the department. • When there is a gap between the applicant’s weighted average score and the weighted average score (weighted average score) required by the department. • Applicants seeking an exemption from the psychometric exam based on at least 5 academic courses related to the curriculum in the department they are applying to (the Department of Economics and Management requires at least 3 related academic courses) and the average required by the department. • When there is a gap between other applicant data and other admission requirements as determined by the department chair.
Each department has a quota for exceptional admission, set by the Council for Higher Education [CHE], of up to 10% of the applicants admitted to the department.
A status granted to a student who does not meet one of the college’s admission requirements and was admitted exceptionally, on condition that they complete the missing requirement and/or an equivalent requirement.
