UAE national students who received federal funding but exceeded the maximum time period (1.5 times the normal duration of the degree program, e.g., six years for a four-year program) and are thus responsible for funding the remaining tuition fees themselves.

Non-National Students

Students who do not hold a UAE passport and/or a UAE National Identity Certificate (UAE Family Book).

Students Seeking a Second Undergraduate Degree

Students who have graduated from an accredited institution of higher education and are seeking a second degree at the University.
