Salam,
This a post ona blog which was made my American Students in Madinah and this was a very beneficial post which has alot in it, the bits in read is my addition as something are more for american students:
As-Salamu Alaikum,In response to those in high school who are interested in studying at the Islamic University:
THE BIGGEST REASON APPLICATIONS ARE REJECTED IS BECAUSE OF MISSING REQUIRED DOCUMENTS OR LACK OF ARABIC TRANSLATION.
The general rule at the university is that those who are applying from western countries i.e. America, Canada, Europe and so forth are not allowed to come without a high school diploma.
The following conditions of admission are taken from the application:
1) An applicant must be a holder of the general certificate of secondary education (high school) or its equivalent from any of the kingdoms schools or from abroad. (A G.E.D is also accepted)
GCSE
2) Not more than 5 years should have passed since the applicant obtained the general certificate of secondary education or its equivalent
For UK students this could mean college as in the American and Saudi system students leave highschool at 18 as we leave 16 but 2 years sixform or college which count.
3) An applicant should not have been dismissed from another university on disciplinary or educational grounds.
4) An applicant should not exceed the age of 25
Students from countries that dnt have student who apply are the exception
6) An applicant seeking admission to the college of Qur’an should have memorized the entire Qur’an.
Along with these conditions, an applicant must present the following documents with his application:
a) A copy of high school diploma
GCSEs
b) High school transcript for the senior year.
Same as above
c) A certificate bearing witness to the good character and religious practice of the applicant from a reliable source. ( Known as a tazkiyyah, you may acquire one from the Imam of your local mosque or from most reputable callers to Islam (du’aat) insha Allah)
two references
d) A birth certificate
e) Six passport size photos (4×6)
f) Please have a copy of your umrah or hajj visa. (This is for students who come for Umrah or Hajj)
between October 23 till January 20 (however they usually allow people to apply as soon as school starts if you come in person) and the address for those who are not able to make umrah or come to the University for an interview is:
Deanship of Admission and Registration
The Islamic University, P.O Box 170
Madinah Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia
As for those applying as American students we request that you send your paper work to:
Note: All information is to be translated into Arabic and notarized, the university will not accept applications without Arabic translations.
Note: We can no longer help in turning in applications. If anyone comes in person we will gladly help them.
May Allah grant you all success, ameen.
