UNDERGRADUATE

1. Regular Undergraduate

Placements to all regular undergraduate programs are processed through the Ministry of Education. The university then conducts admission and enrollment to the different programs based on results of the Ethiopian Higher Education Entrance Certificate Examination (EHEECE), the choice of the student and the capacity of Departments/Schools/Centers. Foreign examinations results must be certified by the ministry of education for their equivalency to the EHEECE. Admissions and enrolments to all programs are processed by the University Registrar in consultation with the academic units concerned and by the decision of the Senate standing committee called Admission and Enrollment Committee (AEC).

Criteria for special admissions to individual programs such as special needs education, music, fine arts and design, theatrical arts, educational planning and management, and architecture are determined by the concerned Colleges and Departments and may require a separate entrance examination which will be administered by the respective Departments.
