Introduction
We are pleased to present you with the 2015/16 edition of the Higher Education Admission Center (HEAC) Student Handbook for International Qualifications
(GCE, APID, IBD) which has been designed to help you to apply online to higher education institutions through the HEAC electronic system.
The Student Handbook provides you, in its first part, with guidelines, an explanation of the relevant procedures, advice on how to register online, information on
how to select the preferred courses or programs at the higher education institutions, external and internal scholarships and grants. We also stress the importance of
following up with the stages in the admission process. The second part provides you with the admission requirements and the terms & conditions for the academic
year 2015/2016 programs. Applying through the HEAC electronic admission system starts with online application and registration.
The first registration period starts well before you sit for your final exams. We believe that during this period (April and May) you will be in a better position to
make well-informed decisions when it comes to ranking your course or program preferences as you are not facing a lot of stress over final examinations while
there is still enough time to seek advice and assistance from your advisers.
During this first registration period, we advise you to select as many courses or programs you are eligible to competitively apply for based on the subjects you took
at school and regardless of your (future) exam results. You will be given an opportunity to make changes in your choice of programs and the ranking of your
program preferences after the final exam results are announced.
It is crucial for you to follow up with updates and messages which are sent through the HEAC system. The admissions timetable providing information about
important dates and admission/application deadlines will be publicized before the results of the first allocation round is announced. You should read this timetable
carefully and comply with its content. It is crucial for applicants after each allocation to timely accept the admission offers and complete the registration
procedures before the relevant deadlines.
Best Wishes,
The Higher Education Admission Center staff

Definitions
The following concerns a brief definition of some of the terms used in this handbook to help you better understand the application and admission process.
Ministry:
Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE)
The HEAC
The Higher Education Admission Center (HEAC) is one of the Directorates of the Ministry of Higher Education. The Centre’s main responsibilities include
coordinating with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and the external scholarship department regarding the admission requirements of each HEI according to
the different areas of discipline. HEAC receives, reviews, and registers all student applications through an electronic system that can be used online and/or with
the support of an SMS service and smart phone applications. It regulates the admission of General Education Diploma and its equivalents graduates according to
their preferences and grades in relation to the admission terms of the HEIs in question.
General Education Diploma Certificate (GED-certificate):
The General Education Diploma qualification awarded by the Ministry of Education to any student who has successfully completed his or her general education
(completed grade 12).
Certificates Equivalent to (GED):
These are the certificates issued inside or outside Oman, and are equivalent to the General Education Diploma according to the Ministry of Education
categorization.
Student:
Male or female student awarded with a General Education Diploma Certificate or its equivalent and who has been registered in the Higher Education Admission
System in accordance with the terms and conditions.
Guardian/sponsor:
The person responsible for the student and who sponsors him/her.
Social Welfare Students:
Students who have been classified by the Ministry of Social Development as social-welfare students and who are entitled to government (financial) support and
have a valid Social Security Number.
5
Low-income Students:
Those students whose sponsor’s monthly income does not exceed R.O. 600.
A student with a disability:
A student with physical or mental condition which limits his/her mental, physical, or sensory activities, and affects his/her performance. It might be caused by a
hereditary factor, or an illness, or an accident.
Second Round Students:
Students who do not pass the first round examinations in certain subjects.
Electronic Admission System:
The HEAC’s electronic system has been designed to receive, review, and register all students applications to higher education institutions, external and internal
scholarships and grants for undergraduate level and competitively select students who meet the admission criteria.
Application form:
It is the e-application submitted by the student, including his / her program preferences and is available in the Admission System at HEAC Website (see also the
sample form on page 186).
Higher Education Institutions:
These consist of the public and private higher education institutions (HEIs) including public universities (seats), public colleges (seats), private universities
(internal scholarships), Private Colleges (internal scholarships), Vocational Training institutes (seats), and Fishermen Qualifying institutes (seats). The overseas
HEIs (grants or external scholarships)- when it comes to the external scholarships, the HEIs are selected by the Ministry of Higher Education after a student has
been competitively selected for a certain program in a certain study destination and are represented by the external scholarship department and its overseas
representatives.
A Program of Study (Subject/Course):
This is defined as the degree or program offered at a higher education institution which includes the specialization, place of study, source of finance, etc.
Admission or Entry Requirements:
These are the conditions stipulated by each higher education institution and/or by the Ministry of Higher Education including the relevant subjects and minimum
grades and sometimes additional requirements that have to be satisfied by the candidates in order to be eligible to competitively apply for a specific program or
course.
6
Qualification:
It is the degree (Bachelor degree or diploma) which is granted to the student on completion of an undergraduate program at a HEI.
Ranking of program preferences:
A candidate can select up to 40 choices of programs offered by either the public HEIs (seats), private HEIs (internal scholarships) or at overseas HEIs (external
scholarships and grants), Vocational Training Institutes, the Fishermen Training Institute and the Military Technical College (seats).
These scholarships and programs could be either fully funded by the Government which means that all tuition fees and living expenses are covered by the
Government, or partially funded which means that only the tuition fees are covered, or they might be grants sponsored by private sector institutions. In the latter
case, student should ensure his/her ability to cover the basic living expenses. For further clarification, see the types of Scholarships, Seats and Grants in the Arabic
version of the student handbook (44, 89).
Important Note: A student should select at least 12 and maximum 40 courses or programs and arrange them according to preference.
Order of a program according to student’s preferences:
Referring to the order of student’s course or program preferences, ranking should be based on your preferences; i.e. the first choice should be the program you
prefer the most (provided that you meet the minimum entry or admission requirements) followed by the second preference and so on. This ranking is important
since it determines your chances to receive the offer with the higher preference.
List of Candidates:
This is the list of students who competitively apply for a certain scholarship, grant or seat and meet the minimum admission requirements. The system orders the
candidates according to their competitive scores in descending order.
Ranking of Students in Order of Academic Merit:
This is the list of students who competitively apply for a certain scholarship, grant or seat and are ranked by the system based on their academic merit. The
applicant with the highest “score” or grades will automatically be placed (by the system) at the top of the list followed by the one with the second highest score
and so on. Applicants who are eligible to apply for a specific program are ranked according to their competitive scores from the highest to the lowest. This list is
called “Order of Academic Merit”. In other words, admission offers will be made to applicants who are on the top of this list for the program based on the
allocated number of seats. For example, if the list of academic merit for a specific program consists of 135 applicants while there are 100 seats available for that
program (or group of programs under one code) then these seats will be allocated to the first 100 applicants in the list. The rest of the applicants (35) will be in
the waiting list of the program.
7
Competitive Score:
It is the criterion that defines a student’s seat allocation based on (his/her) scored marks (grades) in the General Education Diploma exam or its equivalent before
conducting the first electronic allocation. The competitive score may vary for the same student from one program to another based on his/her marks in the subjects
required for the program (specialization).
The arithmetic formula to calculate competitive score is as follows:
Competitive score= (total marks of subjects required for a specialization) x60%or "0.06"+ (total marks of subjects taken by the student) x 40% or 0.04
Completion of the Registration Procedures:
Referring to the period during which candidates who have received and accepted admission offers through the HEAC system will register and submit the required
documents to the concerned.

Competitive
Score
Tie Breaker:
It is the criteria as provided by the higher education institutions and/or the Ministry of Higher Education to ‘break the tie’ between students who have equal
competitive scores. For example, if the last 5 students who have competitively applied for the Engineering program have equal competitive scores; and
there is one vacant seat left, then the Tie Breaker in this program is the one with the highest grade in Pure Mathematics, followed by the highest grade
in English Language. Therefore, the student who scores the highest grade in Pure Mathematics will be accepted. In case two students scored equal high
grades in Pure Mathamatics, the result of the English Language will be the tie breaker.
Confirmation of the Admission Offer:
It is the acceptance by the student of a program offered to him/her through the HEAC electronic system via (Internet) or a SMS or Smart Phone Application.
Accepting and confirming offers: an action taken by a student to accept an offer (scholarship, seat or grant) received through HEAC electronic system before
the relevant deadline. If the student, however, fails to confirm the acceptance before the relevant deadline, then this will be considered as a rejection of
the offer and therefore he/she shall have no right to claim it at any later stage.
Waiting List: This is the list of students who have competitively applied for specific program (scholarship, seat or grant) and who satisfy the minimum
admission requirements but who have not received any offers for that particular program and/or any other better programs. Example:

Admission system general procedures




You must read this Guidebook carefully since it contains all information a student needs to know, as well as, frequently asked questions and their
answers.
You may try to call the center, but we do not recommend this because a lot of people, undoubtedly, will be trying to contact us, and you would
have difficulty reaching us due to busy telephone lines, so the best way to contact us is through e-mails ([email protected]), or social media
websites (Facebook – Twitter), through which we can receive as many messages as possible at the same time and answer them.
HEAC will obtain necessary personal details of students sitting for GED exams directly from the Ministry of Education, including student’s name,
address, National Civil Number, date of birth, sex, school and any other information that HEAC may require.
You can log in to (www.heac.gov.om) in order to get registration number and password. You can also use SMS text messages or mobile admission
application for this purpose.


The HEAC will rank students according to their course or program preferences and based on their final examinations grades (academic merit).
A committee will be formed to verify the qualifications other than General Education Diploma. Based on the Committee’s decision, the levels of
these certificates and grades will be specified so that choices of applicants can be ranked according to their levels.

Non- Omani students of parents who have an Omani passport or students who have an Omani mother but who do not hold an Omani passport
should provide evidence from the Ministry of Interior proving their eligibility to competitively apply for the government seats a n d / o r
i n t e r n a l s c h o l a r s h i p s offered through the HEAC. This category of students is not eligible to competitively apply for the external
scholarships.

Admission applications for the Academic Year (2015/16) will be treated in accordance with the procedures and timetables described in this
Guidebook. Students will be notified of any subsequent changes through the HEAC website, as well as, through the various media. It is,
therefore, the students’ responsibility to be absolutely aware of these updates. It is also their responsibility to check their eligibility
( = w h e t h e r t h e y m e e t t h e m i n i m u m r e q u i r e m e n t s ) to competitively apply for any program they choose.

The various HEAC procedures are designed specifically to ensure that all applicants are treated fairly. However, bear in mind the following:
1. Fairness means treating ALL applicants equally; it does not mean making special arrangements for some a p p l i c a n t s who have ignored
the rules and instructions. You must realize that your actions may also have an impact on other applicants who have equal rights.
2. If you have followed the procedures correctly, you will not be deprived of any place to which you are entitled based on the competitive
selection procedures
12

send to the mobile telephone number which you have registered in the system. You should, therefore, frequently login to HEAC admission system

 Travelling abroad is not an excuse for students who did not take actions required by HEAC before the relevant deadlines.
 The HEAC admission system does not allow students to change their program or their higher education institution and certainly not during the first
semester, unless the student receives another offer from the HEAC through the electronic system. A student who wishes to request for a change a f t e r
t h e f i r s t s e m e s t e r should a l w a y s coordinate directly with his/her higher education institution (seats) or the concerned MoHE department (in
case of an internal or external scholarship and not with HEAC).

Board of Appeals
20
The independent Board of Appeals is responsible examining the complaints submitted by students during the three main stages of the admission process. The
Board consists of experts from outside the Ministry of Higher Education who are assigned by a Ministerial Decree to consider complains filed by applicants who
claim that the HEAC has treated them unfairly or who believe that their complaints have not been settled by the HEAC.
The appeal process is intended to ensure transparency and fair treatment for all applicants. It is important to realize, however, that it is not designed to make
special rules, exceptions or arrangements for some applicants. The rules and procedures of the system have been designed in order to ensure that all applicants are
treated equally. Because all applicants are aware of the rules in advance, therefore, the rules must apply to everyone. They cannot be changed afterwards just for
some applicants.

10. Higher Education Institutions and the Ministry of Higher Education (external scholarships) specify the minimum admission requirements for each
program. You should, therefore, carefully read these requirements before competitively applying for a specific program. Hence, when you competitively
apply for any program you should ensure that you satisfy the minimum entry requirements for that program. For example, if Biology is a part of the
requirements of a particular program, you should use your common sense and refrain from applying to such program unless Biology was one of the
subjects you took at school. Otherwise, you will lose one of your choices of the programs based on not satisfying one of the competitive conditions for
that program, i.e. in this case because you did not take Biology as a subject at school.
11. You should rank your programs in order of preference. The Electronic Admission System aims to competitively select you for one of your preferred
programs provided you meet the requirements and depending on the competition (other candidates) and available seats. Avoid selecting programs based
on your expected exam results only. Also, avoid guessing and assumption and do not pay attention to rumors. Our advice to you is to keep in touch with
the Career Guidance Specialist at your school or region or contact the HEAC if you have any doubt or query.
12. Students are advised to apply for the maximum number of preferred programs for which they are eligible, and not just for programs with high
requirements in order to have more chances of receiving a seat offer.
13. You should communicate with the HEAC if you are not able to apply for at least the minimum number of (12) programs in order to reduce the required
minimum number of programs.
14. Some programs require the applicant to have an IELTS or TOEFL certificate especially for those who wish to competitively apply for the external
scholarship programs.
23
15. You can competitively apply for the program you prefer the most, even if you think you might not get the required grades during the final exam. You do
not have to worry in such a situation because the system is flexible; meaning that even if you cannot be competitively selected for your preferred
program then you will automatically compete for your next preferred option (based on your list of ranked preferences) provided you meet the minimum
requirements.
16. We advise you to select your programs based on your preference. There is a common mistake whereby many students rank their preferences based on
their expected final examination results. For example, some students may hope to study Medicine, but feel they would not qualify. They might,
therefore, put Medicine as their fifth preference and another subject as their first. However, you may get the grades required to study Medicine, but by
then, it would be too late to do anything if you have already been offered a scholarship, seat or grant in one of your first 4 preferences, and you will not
be offered a lower preference (which in this case would be Medicine).

First Step: Ordering your program preferences:
1.
In what order do you arrange your program in the order of preference?
Programs of study should be placed based on the order of your preferences, the highest preference first and so on. The HEAC system has been
designed to give you the best of the program preferences for which you are eligible.
Experiences from previous years indicate that most students prefer the following order for higher education institutions:
List of public programs
(Figure 6)
40 choices
Public HEIs in the Sultanate, external scholarships and full grants
Internal scholarships with paid tuition fees only for both genders (Bachelor)
Internal scholarships with paid tuition fees only for female students (Bachelor)

* The minimum competitive average score is obtained by the student who is in the 50th place in the list of students who are eligible for this program.
** Not accepted: means that Khalid’s score "96.3" is (too low); i.e. it is lower than the score "99.6" of the last applicant ( n r 5 0 ) who is offered a
place in this program, therefore, Khalid will be in the waiting list for this program.
- From the above table, it is obvious that there are 100 seats available for the second program (YG004) and 50 seats for the fifth program (TF125) and so
on.
- The program (YG004) comes in the second place in Khalid list of programs preferences; he will be offered this program (YG004). All the programs
that were ranked lower than his second choice will be deleted as the system has given him the best option he is entitled to in his list of programs
preferences. It is not expected from Khalid to demand a program that is lower in his list of program preferences (TF125). Khalid's "competitive average"
28
in his first choice (LA020) is lower than the last student accepted in this program; therefore, Khalid will be in the waiting list for this program. In case of
vacancy in this program latter on and Khalid is on the top of the waiting list, he will be offered this program (LA020) in the second allocation.
(Table 4)
In the case of the withdrawal of (5) students from this program (LA020) Khalid will be within students who will be offered (LA020) in the second
allocation, and if we assume that he has already accepted program (YG004), it is up to him, now to stay in this program or to accept the second offer and in
latter case, someone else on the waiting list of the program (YG004) will be offered the seat.

As an illustrative example, the following table shows how the electronic admission system compares between applicants. It contains a list of five programs for 4 students
(Nasser, Fatima, Ahmed, Aliaa). Each has different preference of programs. Nasser has (LA001) as a first choice in his list because his dream is to study this despline. Fatima
has the same program (LA001) as third choice, because she wishes to study (ML067) most and if she is not offered this program, her second best preference is (YG004) and
if she is not offered this either , then she prefers (LA001) as a third best. It is the same case with Ahmed and Aliaa, the programs are arranged in the order of preference.

* Students who may be accepted in the program according to number of seats.
Since the system gives the student the best option, after the ordering of all applicants in the" order of merit". The result of allocation will be as follows:
Sort: LA001 - available seats (2)
Seat (1):
Ahmed will be offered the first seat in (LA001) because he scored the highest competitive average Since this program is his second choice, he will be on the
waiting list of his first choice (RC105) and the programs ranked lower than his first or second choice (LA001) will be deleted (ML067 ,YG004,TF125).
Seat (2):
-Nasser will be offered the second seat in the same program (LA001) because he is the student who follows Ahmed in the" competitive average" for this
program. Since Nasser got his first choice, (Table 4) all the programs following his first choice would be cancelled: (ML067, YG004, TF125, RC105). This
means that Nasser will not be in any waiting list of any other program in other allocations because he got his first and best choice.
Sort: ML067 - seats available (1):
Seat (1):Due to the availability of only one seat in the program (ML067) and Nasser has been cancelled from its waiting list since he got his first choice,
therefore , this seat will be offered to the next student in the list of "order of merit" .Therefore, Fatima will be offered the seat in this program (ML067) which
is her first choice, and consequently, she would be cancelled in the list of "order of merit" in all programs ranked lower than that ( ML067, YG004, TF125,
RC105) in other words, Fatima will not be in any waiting list as she got her first choice.
31
Allocation of program :( YG004)-available seats (4), and the program TF125-available seats (5)
-Due to the availability of four seats in the program (YG004), and five seats in the program (TF125), (Nasser, Fatima, Ahmed) have been cancelled from their
"order of merit lists” because they have been offered programs of a higher preference in their programs list. Aliaa will be offered her third choice (YG004), and
since there is no student in the list of “order of merit” for the program (TF125), seats will remain vacant and will be announced to students in the next
allocation.
Sort: RC105-available seats (1)
Seat (1):
-Due to the availability of one seat only in the program (RC105) and Fatima has been cancelled from the" list of merit" in this program because she was offered
her first choice, this program will be offered to the second student in the "list of merit".
-Ahmed is still in the waiting list of this program as this program is his first choice; the system will offer Ahmed the program (RC105) in the next
allocation, to replace his previous offer (LA001).
-If Ahmed accepts the new offer (RC105), he will be immediately withdrawn from program (LA001) and the seat will be offered to the first student in the
waiting list for this program.
- Aliaa will remain in the waiting lists of the programs (RC105) and (LA001), which are her first and second choices.
The higher education institutes can add more requirements for the applicants concerning the priority or eligibility of competing on an available seat. For
instance, there are some programs related to health sciences for which seats are allocated according to student’s governorate. This means that
eligibility for these programs will be only for students who live in that governorate as long as they fulfill the minimum requirements of these
programs. On the other hand, programs that require Fine Arts or Physical Education, the eligibility of available seats may require exams and/or
interviews set by the institution and the students eligible for these programs will be allocated on this basis.
32
Second: Making changes in program preferences:










In July 2015, students will be given a chance to make changes in their program preferences selected during the first registration period (from
01/04/2015 until 01/06/2015). This will be the final chance for students to make any changes in their preferred programs before the first
allocation round (final application).
Students who re-sit the GCE examinations, and those students whose final results are issued later than July must make changes in their program
preferences, if they wish to do so, in this period (July) because there will not be able to change after the results of the re-site the GCE
examinations.
Students must follow up with HEAC updates before they choose programs. All updates are published in the local newspapers, as well as, on the
HEAC website.
In case you forget or lose your password number, you can retrieve it by sending an (SMS) from you mobile number to (90190) by typing (R)
followed by your Civil Number. You will receive an SMS message from HEAC providing you with your password.
Students must validate their personal data, study subjects and exam results by entering the system using their user names and passwords.
Students can see their eligible programs through "the eligible programs link”.
When accessing the electronic form of your choice of programs, click on “save" before making any changes. This step allows you to see the
programs that you are no longer eligible for according to your final exams. Therefore, you can replace the programs for which you are not eligible
by new programs. Note that these programs will be marked by RED COLOR.
In case there are some programs that appear in red and you do not delete them, you will not be able to save any changes. Therefore, delete
programs which appear in red and after that save the changes.
You may be offered one of the programs you have listed in your program preferences which consequently leads to excluding you from the rest of
programs listed below the offered program seat (whether you confirmed the offer or not).
Students holding certificates equivalent to General Education Diploma from outside Oman who do not upload the required documents: (copy
of the transcript, civil card, and equivalence letter from the Ministry of Education) before deadline, will not be able to compete on seats and
their registration will be considered invalid.
33
11 Steps that must be followed during the process of making changes in the program preferences (after the results of the General Education Diploma exams) :

Third: Offer of Seats Stage (first allocation):







After students have made changes in their program preferences (=the final application), the seats, scholarships or grants are offered to students
according to the "order of merit list", eligible students will be offered the highest choice he/she is entitled to according to his/her exam results,
admission requirements and the number of seats allocated to that particular area of study.
Each selected student will receive an SMS in his mobile phone (registered in HEAC system) at the day of releasing the results. The message
will show the students’ (Civil ID number) and the code of the program for which they have been accepted. Please note that the HEAC is not
responsible in case the student does not receive the message. Student has to access the HEAC website to check for the program for which
he/she has been accepted.
You will be given a period of time to accept or decline the offer (you have to accept or register during the specified time). If the HEAC system
does not receive your reply after 02.00pm (local time) on the last day based on the relevant deadline, you will lose your offered seat,
scholarship or grant and it will automatically go to another student on the waiting list and you will have no right to claim the seat at any later
time.
If you do not timely confirm your acceptance of the scholarship, seat or grant (by submitting the required documents to the HEIs or the
concerned MoHE department) the offer will go automatically to another eligible student on the waiting list.
Make sure that you are aware of all the deadlines specified for completing procedures, if you fail to timely comply, you may lose the seat,
scholarship or grant offered to you, and it will be transferred to another entitled and eligible student.
After you have completed all the admission and registration procedures, you will receive a SMS informing you that you completed the
procedures. Please wait for this confirmation or check your status in the admission system.
If the student submitted all the required documents to the institution or concerned MoHE department before the given deadline, but the
institution or department did not timely complete his or her online registration procedures, the student will lose his/her right to get the offered
seat.

Programs requiring interviews and/or admission tests
If you are called for an interview or a test, this does not automatically mean that you will be offered the program. The admission offer will depend on
whether you pass the test and/or the interview and is based on 3 factors:
1. The result of the interview or test.
2. Number of available seats.
3. Your order in the merit list for that program.

Confirmation of offer and registration process
If you wish to accept an offer of a seat, scholarship or grant, you should follow one of the following two steps:
1. You may accept an offer online through the website of the Higher Education Admission Centre at www.heac.gov.om.
2. You may also accept an offer by sending an SMS message to 90190 containing the letter A and your HEAC number. You would then receive a text
message, confirming that your acceptance has been recorded. That message would provide for the following: “your acceptance of the offer is
successful”. If you do not receive such message within half an hour, then you must access the HEAC’s website to check if the admission offer is
valid.
Notes:
 If you do not accept the offer before the deadline you will lose your offer.
 If you are a social security student and have obtained a full internal scholarship you must upload your bank account through the
Personal details Link on the electronic admission system.
Dear students:
Bear in mind the following points:
You will be offered a program based on academic merit (and competition), hence, please make sure you put the programs in an order of preference
because when you are offered a seat, scholarship or grant in one of the programs you included in your list of preferences, the other options you
selected below that program will be excluded and withdrawn (see Figure 11).
Once you receive an offer of a program you listed in your list of preferences, you will be excluded from the other choices below this program offer
(whether you confirm the offer or not). See the following example:

(Figure11)
* In case there are some available vacancies, you might be entitled to a place in one of your programs which is higher in your list of preferences in the later
allocation. However, it is important that you realize that you may not be considered for a place in any of your higher preferences. You must, therefore,
look at any offer made to you as being the last chance that you may get.
* If you do not respond to the offer made to you properly and within the specified timeline, you may lose the offer. You are, therefore, advised to follow up
announcements and latest developments on the HEAC’s website during the months of July and August this year which is the period when admission
offers are usually announced.
41
*When re-sit students and holders of international qualifications and other certificates enter into competition, the order of the previous students on the
waiting list may change based on the results of those students.
If you receive more than one offer in various allocation stages (due to other applicants not accepting a particular offer), you may accept offer
successively. However, the acceptance of any offer shall immediately and automatically c a n c e l a n y preceding program acceptance and only one
acceptance eventually remains.
*The validity of any offer expires if the HEAC does not receive confirmation of your offer acceptance within the specified timeline and if you have not
completed the registration procedures at the institution where you were accepted. In this way, you would have relinquished the offer made to you, and the
offer will be transferred to the first applicant in the waiting list.
* HEAC may, after the results of each allocation, study the application request that is received in writing reclaiming a program which was withdrawn from
the applicant because he did not accept the offer, or failed to complete the registration procedures in the institution in the specified periods. The request will
be studied if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
 Availability of vacant seats in that program.
 Institution does not approve the transferring of vacant seats in that program to another program
 There are no students in the "waiting list" of that program, or there is “a waiting list”, however, the institution decided to accept student who
applied to retrieve their seats.
 The student is not registered in any public or private institution.
Documents
It is recommended that student should have the following documents when registering at the higher education institutions:
1.
General Education Diploma or its equivalent.
2.
A copy of the civil card or passport.
3.
Recent photographs.
4.
Students who are accepted in Low Income Internal Scholarships should present a proof that they belong to this category.
*Any other documents that may be required by the institution.
Documents confirming the status of the student as "low-income" should be submitted to the institute in which the student is accepted and not to HEAC.
* Note: Higher Education Admission Centre does not receive from students any document required by the higher education institutions or the
concerned MoHE department, such as the above mentioned documents.
42
Fourth: vacancies and new programs (second allocation)
After offers have been made to all eligible applicants for a particular program, some seat may remain unfilled because some offers were not accepted or the
number of available seats exceeds the number of eligible applicants. Also, new programs may subsequently arise, in these cases, such vacancies will be
advertised on the website www.heac.gov.om and through SMS messages that these seats are available to all students to apply for. You may apply for vacant
seats through the admission system, whether you have registered in the system before or not .If you have not registered before, you can now register
through HEAC.
If you are one of those students who have already registered in the admission system, please follow the following steps:
To modify your choices, you can add more programs to the first list of choices. The electronic admission system is designed so that you can increase the
number of choices at this stage (the second allocation stage) to more than (40) choices.
Choose from vacancies and new programs those to which you are eligible.
Arrange the new programs before the one that was offered to you (if you have been offered a seat). Note that the system will not allow you to rearrange
your previous choices.
To enter your new chosen programs, you must press the (Insert) button where you want to insert the program in order of preference.
Save your choices by pressing the button (save).
Make sure you do not ignore any program code in red, you must be aware of the error and fix it, because the system will not be able to save changes you
have made in case you do not delete it.

EXTERNAL SCHOLARSHIPS
INTERNATIONAL QUALIFICATION
HOLDERS
The content of this section (external scholarships, group A and B) has been researched and submitted to the Higher Education Admission Center (HEAC) by the
External Scholarships Department and the Directorate-General for Scholarships in co-operation with its overseas representatives.
Please note that the external scholarship eligibility criteria, in terms of required subjects and grades, are partly based on the admission requirements of the selected
overseas Higher Education Institutions, as well as on the by the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) developed competitive external scholarship criteria.
While every effort has been made to ensure that the content of this part of the student handbook is accurate and up-to-date, changes might be periodically made.
These changes will be incorporated in the online edition and will be announced in the media and uploaded to the Higher Education Admission Centre website.
For specific questions about the areas of study and/or the external scholarship eligibility criteria,
please write an email to [email protected]

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITONS – EXTERNAL SCHOLARSHIPS
INTERNATIONAL QUALIFICATION HOLDERS
IMPORTANT NOTICE: the following terms and conditions apply to International School leavers who want to competitively apply for an external scholarship. An
external scholarship would enable them to pursue their higher studies at undergraduate level at selected overseas Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
-
We divided the external scholarships into main categories/broader subject areas consisting of a number of specific courses (or programs/subjects/majors).
The names of the specific courses may differ per Higher Education Institution or study destination;
-
These scholarships are competitive and awarded on the basis of academic merit and the HEAC electronic system will automatically nominate a number of the
best candidates from the ranked list;
-
The scholarship eligibility criteria consists of a minimum required overall grade and a minimum grade in certain relevant subjects and your grades will be
converted to percentages by the Higher Education Admissions Center (HEAC). Please note that the external scholarship criteria, in terms of required subjects
and grades, are partly based on the admission requirements of selected Higher Education Institutions, as well as on the by the Ministry of Higher Education
(MoHE) developed competitive external scholarship criteria;
-
In order to competitively apply for a certain ‘code’ (usually consisting of a number of courses in a certain study destination), a candidate must meet the
scholarship eligibility criteria (admission requirements) while sometimes additional entry requirements (such as additional tests, interviews or portfolio) as
required by the selected Higher Education Institution(s) may apply – in this case, the Ministry of Higher Education cannot guarantee an acceptance by the
University;
-
For Group A external scholarships, the Ministry aims to select ‘well-rounded’ and well-articulated students with a strong ‘multidisciplinary’ background;
International Baccalaureate CERTIFICATE (instead of DIPLOMA) can only apply for Group B scholarships and GCE A level students need minimum 3 A-level
passes in order to competitively apply for a group A scholarship
-
Group A Scholarship Recipients need to enroll in a HEI that is both recognized and recommended by the MoHE; what will be considered to be a
recommended Higher Education Institution in each of the selected study destinations for Group A & Group B scholarship recipients is subject to approval by
48
the MoHE and our overseas representatives (Cultural Attaché Offices; Consulates-General or Consuls) in this particular destination as it has to concern both a
recognized and recommended Higher Education Institution; for more information, please contact the external scholarship department;
-
Group B external scholarship recipients cannot independently select the Higher Education Institution (HEI) – the HEI will be selected by the Ministry of
Higher Education;
-
The scholarship will cover the tuition fees, cost of health insurance, visa fees while the Ministry will pay a monthly allowance to cover basic living expenses.
The Ministry will also provide an annual return ticket per academic year. As per the scholarship law, scholarship students will receive additional allowances to
support their future extra-curricular activities. Group A & B scholarship recipients receive the same allowances.
-
Students who apply for a scholarship in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Malta, The Netherlands or Poland will have to sit for an English proficiency test
(including IELTS or TOEFL) in view of administrative and/or visa procedures and preferably before they sit for their final exams in order to facilitate the
placement procedures and avoid serious delays. The Ministry of Higher Education will reimburse the costs of one English language proficiency test based on
the original receipt for candidates competitively selected for a scholarship in any of these aforementioned study destinations;
-
Please note that once a scholarship candidate has been competitively selected and has accepted a scholarship in a particular area of study and in a certain
study destination, under no normal circumstances will this student be allowed to change the area of specialization or to move to another study destination
-
The scholarship covers the (normal) duration of the program of study which is subject to satisfactory academic progress and this will be monitored by the
MoHE – the Ministry of Higher Education reserves the right to cancel a scholarship in the absence of such satisfactory progress.
-
Applicants who have been competitive selected for a certain subject area may have to enter onto a foundation program/pathway. An applicant who
managed to secure a scholarship to study a certain area of interest will have to enter onto a foundation program or pathway in order to be equipped with
the right skills and knowledge that would qualify him or her to do a degree. Only upon successful completion of the Foundation Program before the
relevant deadlines, students will be eligible to progress onto a specific area of study. Any applicant who is not able to successfully complete the foundation
program might have to change the area of specialization and/or the University or, in some cases, even has to continue with his/her studies in the Sultanate of
Oman. The decision will be made by the Cultural Attaché Office based on the final grade.
-
Scholarship students who take a semester or more off during an academic year and not enroll in courses are not entitled to receive an allowance, unless
stated otherwise by the scholarship committee.
