Selection Criteria

There are various admission requirements and a unique set of selection criteria for each program offered at Antonine University (UA).

The information provided below can help you learn more about how we select our students for each program and the requirements you must meet to be admitted to UA for an undergraduate program.

Transfer Admissions

Students who wish to apply to UA but have been pursuing their academic careers at another local or foreign institution must submit an official transcript of records along with a detailed course description. Their qualifications will be evaluated in light of the grades they received at their previous institution. This will determine the selection process for entrance exams, and it may take up to 2 weeks for the results of the transferred courses to be reviewed by the Transfer Committee of each faculty or department.
