Applicants who fail to meet full admission requirements but show potential for academic success at the university level may be admitted on a provisional basis. These admitted students are required to follow stipulations outlined in a ‘Provisional Admission’ letter and may be enrolled in the Intensive English Language Program (IEP) or in the Foundation year program.

A visiting student is a student who is not formally admitted to AUBH but is allowed to enroll in coursework for transfer back to the home institution.
