Tip One: Pre-Register

By filling out your registration form online here before the fair you will save time and avoid a line when you arrive. If you are registering for Beirut, Amman or Aqaba you will receive a barcode to use during the fair. All you need to do is have the universities scan your code and they instantly have your information. It is a simple and easy process.

Tip Two: Do your Homework

Before coming to the fair take a look at the list of universities attending. Learn more about the schools you are interested in and see what programs they offer. You will not have time to talk to everyone at the fair so pick your priority schools you definitely want to meet. There are short bios of each school available online here.

Tip Three: Be Prepared to Answer Questions

Have you thought about what you want to study? Universities may ask in what programs you are interested in, your current year in school and average test scores or grades. It is helpful to have these answers ready for conversation. The representatives will be better able to answer your questions knowing more information about you.

Tip Four: Be Prepared to Ask Questions

It is also a good idea to prepare some of your own questions. What do you want to know about a university’s admissions process, academics or social life on-campus? These university representatives are here to answer your questions. They want you to learn as much as possible about their school. There are no stupid questions – so please ask away.

Tip Five: Pre-Register!

Wait, did we already mention this? You must be registered to enter the fair so there is no reason not to register before you show up. Save yourself the hassle and time by skipping the long line. Here is the registration link one more time in case you missed it.

The session speaker, Dr. Zuhair Humadi is the brainchild of the Iraq Education Initiative and a graduate of the US educational system. He will discuss ways that the admissions offices will be able to collaborate with the scholarship initiative to admit qualified students to their programs.

To begin building a directory of Universities that accept international students without the SAT requirement and that offer ESL and conditional admissions programs we are encouraging all admissions officers to add your information to the College & University Directory.

Session Information

Title: GS210: The Iraqi Educational Initiative: Opportunities for Collaboration
Begin Time: Thursday, 5/28 – 9:15 AM
Audience: General Professional Interest
Description: Presenters will discuss the possibilities for collaboration between institutions of higher education and the Iraqi government. The Iraqi Educational Initiative will invest heavily in the educational system to develop the human resources of the country. The goal is to make Iraq a center of learning in the Middle East through investments in all levels of education.
Chair: Zuhair Humadi, PhD, Office of the Iraqi Prime Minister

The US Embassy Visa Counsel spoke to the audience about the process of applying for a student visa to the United States, the type of information that will be needed for a successful interview, and the numbers of students who have been approved for a visa in the past year. The students and their parents reacted very positively to the information as there is confusion about the US visa application process, and kept the US Embassy visa counsel very busy all night asking questions.

“I was very happy with the outcome of the Kuwait fair, we had three completed applications that I already faxed to my office.” Mr. Wes Roy, Associate Director of Admissions, Roger Williams University

Our next stop on the Middle East US College tour is Manama, Bahrain – with the fair on March 17th, 2009 at the Sheraton Bahrain Hotel.  While things started off a little slow but students and visitors began coming in after a short while and everything went great.

There was a very significant amount of Saudi Arabian students who had driven over from the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and told us there was a 4 hour delay on the bridge to cross. The students visiting the fair were 60% Bahraini and 40% Saudi and many of the students were interested in graduate programs.

“The fair went very well and we had a steady stream of interested students”  said Stephanie Enstice, Florida Institute of Technology

As with applications to any college, you must research the university you are applying to, making sure they are properly accredited and offer the degree you are seeking.  This can be a little more difficult to do with online only universities as the website may appear very professional and legitimate – while the school may offer a degree that may not be fully recognized.

However, many large and prestigious schools such as Columbia and Harvard now offer undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs that are fully online, giving students unable to travel to the US a great opportunity.  While these programs are not inexpensive, sometimes costing the same as an on-campus experience, they may allow you to attend college without leaving home. We encourage you to read through the university’s offerings, to calculate the costs, and to see whether you would benefit from a traditional campus experience before choosing a program to commit to.

One thing to remember, online degrees are not an “easy” way to receive a bachelors or masters, they are just as much work and effort as attending class in person. You will be expected to “attend” class, take exams, complete group projects, and interact with your classmates, if you are unprepared, your grades will reflect that. Online degrees can be the answer for many students, but as with everything you must study the positives and negatives before deciding on your course of action.
