Jordanian Tawjihi

UPEI requires the Tawjihi (General Secondary Education Certificate) with a minimum overall mark of 70%, and a higher mark is preferred.

Admission to many UPEI programs is competitive, so meeting the minimum average does not guarantee a place.

No repeat programs

UPEI cannot admit international students to a program the same as, or similar to, one they have already completed.

Deposit

International undergraduates pay a non-refundable CAD 3,000 deposit, which is applied to later charges on their student account.
