Conditions for changing programs of study

In order to change a program of study, students need to meet the following conditions:

1. The applicant's average in the General Secondary School Certificate needs to meet the minimum required average for admission into the intended program the year at which the student obtained his/her General Secondary School Certificate.

2. Transfer is allowed only into a program of study with a minimum required admission average lower than the first-entry program at the year of the student's admission.

3. Each student is allowed to change his/her program of study only once during his/her term of study.

4. Students are requested to read the regulations on the application form that explain how their previous credit hours are transferred into their new academic record.

5. Students with scholarships need to present a written approval from the institution sponsoring them agreeing to the student's change of program of study.

6. Students who have been admitted through The Royal Hashemite Court must present a letter of permission or a written agreement from the Court. 

7. Admission into the new program is concomitant with the vacancies at the program.
 

Enrolment procedures

Applications for both the regular and parallel programs are submitted at the Parallel Section in the Unit of Admission and Registration. Dates for application are posted online.

Students whose requests to change their programs of study have been approved will read their names on the Unit of Admission and Registration billboard and website. Once they read their names, they need to check with their first program of study registration officer to carry out the necessary procedures. 

Please note the following: 

1. Students will retain their first-entry year-code and henceforth the fees being applied at that academic year.

2. If by the time of admission into the new program, the student had already registered courses using his/her old student number, but had not paid the tuition fees, the registration officer will withdraw the courses being registered. If tuition fees have already been paid, the officer will withdraw the courses and make arrangements to settle the student's statement of account before applying the new tuition fees.

3. Once the student's statement of account had been settled, the registration officer will change the student's program of study officially.

4. Tuition fees will be adjusted according to the rates being applied upon the student's first-entry year and the student's program of study.

5. The student will pay the new imposed tuition fees at the Unit of Financial Affairs (which will be the same as those applied to the newly-admitted students with the exclusion of the fees of the Computer and English proficiency tests).

6. The student will check at his/her new registration officer to hand him/her the student file. The registration officer will create a new profile for the student. The program's code will be changed but year of admission will be retained.

7. The student will fill in the Course Concordance Form so that courses studied within the previous program plan which may match the new program plan would be considered into the student's record.

8. The student will then check at the Deanship of Students Affairs to issue a new student Identification card.

9. Finally, the student will do his/her registration through the registration officer who will enroll the student in the required courses and hand him/her the new password for future use.
