  • UAE national students who received federal funding but exceeded the maximum time period to receive that funding (which is 1.5 times the normal period required for the completion of their degree program, e.g., six years for a four-year program) before completing their degree program, and are thus responsible for arranging the funding of the remaining tuition fees towards the completion of their degree program by themselves.

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.
