Common questions

Frequently asked.

Do I need everything ready before I apply?

No — you can begin your application with your current documents, and submit pending items (such as final school results) as they become available. We may issue a conditional offer that becomes unconditional once the outstanding documents arrive.

Are scanned copies acceptable, or do I need notarised originals?

For your application, clear colour scans are acceptable. Originals or attested copies are required at pre-enrolment, when you present them on campus or send them by courier if you're international.

What if I studied my degree in English but don't have an IELTS score?

If your most recent qualifying degree was taught and examined entirely in English, an official Medium-of-Instruction (MOI) letter from your institution will normally be accepted in place of an IELTS or Duolingo score. Speak to your counsellor to confirm.

I'm transferring credits from another institution — what do I send?

You'll send your existing transcripts as part of your Stage 01 documents. Our academic team will review them and issue a Mapping Approval — a formal document that confirms which credits we'll recognise and how they map onto your Walsh programme.

I'm an online student — do I need to come to campus at all?

No. Online students study entirely remotely, submit their documents by email, and complete only Forms 02–05 in the pre-enrolment pack. No campus visit, no UAE visa, no transport or deposit forms are required.

What happens after I submit my pre-enrolment forms?

Your file is checked by our admissions executive, verified by the Head of Recruitment, Admissions & Marketing, and finally registered by the Office of The Registrar / Student Records — at which point you're officially enrolled and ready to begin your trimester.
