  3. The student is subject to scientific evaluation procedures.
  4. Student transfers shall be processed exclusively through the Ministry/Department of Studies, Planning, and Follow-up, after providing an official letter from his/her private college, containing the details mentioned in this circular (announcing the student’s initial admission to the department and college). The receiving university/college may not approve the transfer directly. Responsibility lies with the private college and the student. Any violation will hold the violating parties legally accountable.

We have monitored that some student files are being sent without the required data according to form (6–c), and will not be considered unless submitted by 15/9.
  6. Students from private colleges may not be transferred to public colleges (morning study) except for children of martyrs or students nominated by government institutions, including employees covered by the “Channel of Distinguished Students and Ministry Employees” at a rate of 20% of the top graduates of institutes.
