Direct Entry acceptance and registration requires for the student to pass both Math and English placement tests as mentioned hereunder, otherwise, acceptance will be conditional, and the student will be registered in the preparatory program:

A. Obtaining one of the following Scores:

• Score (180) or above in the ACM English Language Skill Assessment Test
• Score 60 points or above in the International TOEFL – iBT
• Score 6 points or above in the Academic IELTS.
  
  

B. Achieve a score of 70% or above in the Math Skill Assessment Test.

Conditional Acceptance- Category 1:

Students that pass the Math test with 70 % as a minimum score and did not achieve any of the minimum scores in the English language tests needed for direct entry.

In order to get enrolled to Diploma in Engineering Technology & Information Technology programs:

• The student should pass the English Preparatory Program (EPP) – non-credit courses with a minimum score of 70%.
• Not register in any other course at ACM before passing the EPP.
• In case of failure, each level can be repeated only once. Failure in the second attempt will result in dismissal from the College.

Conditional Acceptance- Category 2:

Students that pass the Math test with less than 70% and score one of the English language tests that is needed for direct entry.

In order to get enrolled to Diploma in Engineering Technology & Information Technology programs:

Conditional acceptance: (Category 2-A):

• Passing a non-credit Introduction to Math course (Level 2) with a minimum grade of “C”, in case of passing the Math test with 60% and above, but less than 70%
• Students that do not score the minimum required grade in the Math assessment test that falls under Category 2-A can register to other general courses within their major at ACM (up to 6 credits). This does not mean Direct Entry Acceptance until the student meets the conditional admission requirements for Category 2-A.

Conditional acceptance: (Category 2-B):

• Passing a non-credit Introduction to Math course (Level 1 and Level 2) with a minimum grade of “C”, in case of passing the Math test with more than 40% but less than 60%.
• Students with conditional acceptance under this category are not allowed to register in other courses at ACM during studying the Math preparatory course (Level 1)
• The student with conditional acceptance under this category can register to other general courses (up to 6 credits) within their programs in ACM when studying Math preparatory course (Level 2). This does not mean Direct Entry Acceptance until the student meets the conditional admission requirements for Category 2-B.

The Math Preparatory courses can be repeated only once in case of failure. During repetition, the student is not allowed to register to any credit courses at ACM.

Failure in the second attempt will result in dismissal from the college.

Conditional Acceptance- Category 3:

The student that passes the Math test with less than 70% score and fails the English test falls under this category:

In order to get enrolled to Diploma in Engineering Technology & Information Technology programs:

Conditional acceptance: (Category 3-A):

• Passing the English Preparatory Program (EPP) non-credit program with a minimum of 70%
• Passing a non-credit Introduction to Math course (Level 2) with a minimum grade of “C”, in case of passing the admission Math test with 60% and above, but less than 70%.

Conditional acceptance: (Category 3-B):

• Passing the English Preparatory Program (EPP) non-credit program with a minimum of 70%
• Passing a non-credit Introduction to Math course (Level 1 and Level 2) with a minimum grade of “C”, in case of passing the admission Math test with 40% and above, but less than 60%.

Category 3 students – with conditional Acceptance are not to register in other courses at ACM until they pass both EPP courses and the Math preparatory course.

In case of failure in the EPP course, each level can be repeated only once. Failure in the second attempt will result in the student’s dismissal from the College.

In case of failure in the Math preparatory course; the course is to be repeated only once. Failure in the second attempt will result in student’s dismissal from the college.

• The deadline for submitting official International TOEFL or official Academic IELTS scores for new students is the last day of the add/drop period of the registered semester. This allows the student to be exempt from the English Preparatory Program (EPP).
• After the add/drop period, students must attend and successfully pass the first level of the English Preparatory Program (EPP) for their TOEFL/IELTS scores to be accepted, which will exempt them from Level 2 of the EPP. No test results will be accepted during or after the semester in the case of failure.
• Students in the first level of the English Preparatory Program must complete the semester if they have not submitted the required TOEFL/IELTS scores before the end of the add/drop period in the same semester.
• Students in Level 2 of the EPP may submit their official TOEFL/IELTS scores at any time to be exempt from continuing to Level 2, regardless of whether they passed Level 2 or not. They will then be enrolled in the diploma program at the beginning of the following semester.
• If the semester for Level 1 EPP students is frozen, they have the right to submit their TOEFL/IELTS scores before the last day of the add/drop week of the following semester
