Transferring to Al-Fayha College

Al-Fayha college is giving the chance to students who either started their BS study in any Higher Education Institution and could not continue their study, or students who got diplomas and would like to continue their education to get a

B. S. Degree in Engineering or Business programs with an international outlook.

Promotion Exam Announcement

For the students who want to transfer the credits of basic sciences courses "PHYISCS, CHEMISTRY, or MATHEMATICS":

  • If you previously studied any of these courses within the last five years: then you are entitled to apply directly to transfer their credit hours without exams. Credit Transfer Form.docx
  • If you studied these courses over five years ago:

then you still have the chance to transfer their credits if you pass the Promotion Exam according to the following regulations: 

1- The students obtained a minimum grade of "C" in the relevant course(s) at their previous institution.

2- The students completed equivalent coursework covering at least 70% of the syllabus offered at Al-Fayha College with the same number of credits or more.

If you meet these criteria, press the link below to register for the Promotion Exam. Promotion Exam Registration Form.

After the approval of the Academic Affairs, the registered students for the promotion exam will be contacted to be informed of all information regarding the promotion exam (Schendel, Timing, exam structure and content).
