Recurring dates are estimates announced officially each year. Always confirm exact dates and requirements via each authority's official link (Qabool, the university, ETEC, Noor).

🟦 Unified Admission Platform (Qabool)

The Ministry of Education's national portal for admission to government universities. Regional portals (Riyadh, Jeddah/Makkah, Eastern Province and others) let you apply to several universities with one application. Phases begin early (from November) and run through summer.

Guide to Registration & Admission Dates in Saudi Arabia

Every year, thousands search for when registration opens at Saudi universities, plus scholarships, tests and Noor-system enrolment. This board shows open/close dates for each authority in both the Hijri and Gregorian calendars, with each event's status (open / upcoming / closed), and it auto-updates daily by recomputing the recurring annual cycles.

University admission via Qabool

Government-university admission runs through the Unified Admission Platform (Qabool – uap.sa) with regional portals, and depends on the weighted ratio combining the high-school GPA with Qudrat and Tahsili. Phases begin early and results come in summer, with the academic year starting in late August.

Scholarships, tests and schools

The board also covers the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Scholarship Program, scholarships for international students, Qudrat and Tahsili registration via ETEC, Grade 1 and kindergarten enrolment in the Noor system, and admission to technical colleges and postgraduate studies. Use search and categories for quick access.

Recurring annual cycles (e.g. unified admission and tests) have no fixed calendar date each year, so we show the typical window with an "estimated" tag. The exact official date is announced yearly by the authority — check the official link.
