UOB Allows High School Graduates of The Past Two Years to Submit Their Applications
17 July 2020
The Deanship of Admission and Registration at the University of Bahrain (UOB) announced the opening of registration for high school graduates of the past two years (2017/2018) and (2018/2019) who wish to enroll, indicating that this will be available to students from public and private schools and Nasser Vocational Training Center.
The Deanship stated that the registration process will be available through the electronic student service website (sis.uob.edu.bh), starting from next Sunday (19 July 2020) to the following Sunday (26 July 2020).
Also, the Deanship cautioned that one of the conditions for joining the University is that the applicant has a high school diploma or its equivalent with a GPA of no less than 70%, and that the applicant should not be enrolled in any other higher education institution in case he was accepted in UOB.
Indicating that the National University does not accept its undergraduates to enroll in the same level of degree nor students who were dismissed from it.
UOB stated that it decided not to conduct the general aptitude test and the interviews that it used to organize annually exceptionally this year due to the conditions that the world is going through due to the Corona virus pandemic, indicating that the competitive rate will be the GPA of high school or its equivalent.
Regarding the selection of majors, the Deanship indicated that the selection and order of programs should correspond with the type of general secondary school certificate (literature, science, commercial, industry, unified tracks), noting that the comparison between applicants for admission in the different academic programs are based on the applicant’s fulfillment of admission requirements and the academic program’s capacity.
Also, the Deanship of Admission called on all students wishing to join the University to log on to UOB’s website (www.uob.edu.bh), and to follow its accounts on social networks to know admission requirements and to review the instructions and the required supporting documents, and it warned that applicants will be able to amend their choices during the application period, through the student service website, in addition to the possibility of uploading documents or editing their data until the 15th of August 2020.

Rumors of A
In Response to What
Was Published by A Press Website: UOB Denies
Rumors of A
"Black Market" For Summer Classes Seats
What Was Reported
Is Contrary to Reality and Logic and It’s Offensive to The Reputation of the
University and Its History
The University confirmed in its
comment on this rumor that the laws and regulations in force since UOB was
established are the only ones that govern all procedures, which are based on
equal opportunities and fairness among all students, and therefore it is
neither logical nor realistic to talk about (selling seats) as if it is in a
market.
Furthermore, the University
statement stated that "What was reported from this press site is
completely contrary to reality and logic, because any cancellation by the
student of his seat for any reason whatsoever will absolutely not transfer this
seat to another student of his choosing, because the process is done according
to a tight electronic system, which gives priority to applicants according to the
academic hours they spent and to how early they apply.”
The University expressed its
great astonishment at how people followed such offensive rumors of a
long-standing national academic institution, based on flimsy information
circulating on some social media sites and not in line with reality or with the
system applied at the University, claiming to "observe a black
market" among students, without checking the validity of this information
that any sound mind would not accept, and without checking with the University itself.
The University concluded its
statement saying that as far as it highly appreciates the role of the press and
the media, it is always ready to provide correct information and respond to the
inquiries of all media outlets and newspapers in accordance with the
requirements of the national duty. Also, it expressed how unfortunate it is for
such an offense to be made towards an ancient national academic institution
from which tens of thousands of students have graduated, and still are, who shall
be responsible of building and developing the nation. Therefore, the University
does not accept that its students, who represent our national elite and on whom
we depend, are described with such inappropriate characterizations.

who want their results to be reviewed can apply for that from 17 to 23 June
2020, as the results of the grievance will be announced later this month.

Service Center”, which started its service in September 2019, as it actively
helps students in their observations and inquiries that are related to a large
percentage of them on admission and registration processes, announcing results
and receiving other services from the Deanship through various ways of
communication, and answer them in record time.
