Checklist:

Conditional Acceptance 

Please check on your acceptance letter to see whether you still need to meet certain conditions before being able to register for studies. Such conditions might include: submission of official documents, language tests, etc.

a. You must present at the Overseas Applicants Unit an original/official copy of your academic documents or make sure your school sends official documents directly to the Overseas Applicants Unit. Overseas universities that have the option of a secured digital copy, can send it directly to the following email address: oritk@savion.huji.ac.il.
b. Meeting Hebrew language requirements
c. Meeting English language requirements

Conditional acceptance for undergraduate studies is valid only as long as the program accepts applications. When the deadline passes, applicants that did not submit all the criteria will be rejected from the program, with the exception of Rothberg Mechina students form 2023. Once the missing component is submitted, applicants may ask to join a waiting list.

 

Deposit Payment 

Candidates that were accepted unconditionally should pay the deposit by the date stated on their acceptance letter in order to ensure their place in the program. Competitive undergraduate programs may decide, at some point, to cancel the acceptance of candidates that did not pay the deposit.
