3. official record of scores achieved in the TOEFL;
4. official record of the score achieved on the GMAT test (for candidates for admission to the M.Acc., M.B.A. Programs), and GRE (for M.S./Ph.D. Programs in Science and Engineering);

5. non-Saudi students must supply, in addition to the certificate of good health, a valid immunization record, with the immunization required for entry and residence in the Kingdom.
The number of admissions to the University available to non-Saudi candidates is severely limited and competition for the available openings is keen. Therefore, unless the applicant ranks very high in the graduating class of his previous university, it is unlikely that admission will be granted.
