1. Attestation of Documents 

All applicants for admission are required to obtain equivalency of their Secondary School leaving qualifications from the UAE Ministry of Education located in Dubai, UAE. The equivalency process is dependent upon whether the student has completed his/her Secondary Schooling within the UAE or outside the UAE. The onus of getting their Secondary School equivalency rests with the concerned student. IMTD is not liable if a student is not able to receive his/her equivalency certificate. 

Applicants who completed Secondary Schooling in the UAE 

• Applicants must obtain an Equivalency Certificate issued by the Ministry of Education for secondary schooling studies undertaken in the UAE. 

• Students who are unable to obtain their Equivalency Certificate will be provisionally admitted and permitted to the first semester of study. In case a student fails to submit an equivalency certificate from MoE within the first semester of study, he/she may be granted an extension of another semester by the Dean Academics. 

Applicants who completed Secondary Schooling outside the UAE 

• These applicants are provisionally admitted to the University and are permitted the first semester of study. However, they must have their Secondary School Records and Certificates of Completion certified by: 

1. The issuing Board of Secondary Education or a recognized authority for secondary education in the host country in which the applicant completed their education; 
2. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in that host country; 
3. The UAE Embassy in that host country. 

• The provisionally admitted student shall obtain equivalency certificate from the Ministry of Education, UAE. 

• In special cases (if advised by the authority), the certificates may be verified against originals by Embassies in the UAE and UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

• An applicant who is unable to secure the Equivalency Certificate as outlined above at the time of admission will be asked to sign a “Consent to Provide Documents” form agreeing to secure the equivalency within the first semester of the study. In case a student fails to submit equivalency certificate from MoE within the first semester of study, he/she may be granted extension of another semester by the Dean Academics.

2. Semester Credit Restriction for Conditionally Admitted students 

Students admitted conditionally, either for basic Arabic language course or pending equivalency certificate, shall not be allowed to take more than 12 semester credits of General Education course work to contribute towards an undergraduate degree. They are allowed to take General Education credit bearing courses only in subjects for which they have preparation, knowledge and skills to achieve course learning outcomes.
