Enrollment Information
In order to be considered for admission at RIT Kosovo (A.U.K) students need to demonstrate their proficiency in English and Math, as well as proof of successful completion of high school at a high standard.
Students are classified in two different enrollment categories based on the entrance exam results:
Students who have demonstrated above average knowledge in English and Mathematics are granted direct enrolment at RIT Kosovo (A.U.K). At this level, they start directly with the Writing Seminar and Interdisciplinary Math I classes, which are considered to be the highest level classes for a freshmen student. In addition, they are allowed to register up to three other RIT credited classes.
Students, who have demonstrated that they need additional preparation in English, writing and comprehensive skills, are granted enrollment in this level. In the first academic semester, students take intensive English and Math classes. After successful completion, students take the Writing Seminar and Interdisciplinary I classes. In addition, they get to take up to two other RIT credited classes, based on their assigned class schedule.
What is the alternative admission process?
The Alternative Admission Process is an opportunity for students who wish to apply at RIT Kosovo but are unable to complete the entrance exams due to the pandemic.
