Visiting Students
Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students
Visiting students are students attending courses or undertaking postgraduate research, with prior approval from the Colleges concerned, without seeking a degree at Abu Dhabi University.

They will:
- Apply for a permission to the Registrar to join a course(s).
- Provide evidence of proficiency in the English language.
- Provide evidence of enrollment in a similar level program.
- Be admitted for a maximum period of one year and they may earn typically up to 18 credit hours per semester.
- Participate, at their choice, in registered course- work, and sit the examination set for that course.
- Be given, at their request, a statement setting out the classes attended and the result of any examination(s).
Documents required for admission of visiting students are as follow:
1. Completed application form with the required application fee.
2. Official transcript from the University the student is joining.
3. Copy of passport.
4. 2 photographs.
5. Original copy of TOEFL/IELTS or, for postgraduate students, any other proof of English Proficiency.
