RESIDENTS OF SAUDI ARABIA ONLY: this admission route and fee are for non-Saudi students who are already resident in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (e.g. on a family/dependent iqama) and are applying through KAU's 'Admission of Non-Saudis with a Financial Fee' bachelor's track. It is NOT available to applicants applying from outside Saudi Arabia, and it is a separate, different route from KAU's free/funded international scholarship track (which has its own eligibility rules and does not charge this fee — applicants already holding another scholarship from a Saudi institution are ineligible for this fee-paying route). The amount above (SAR 35,000) is what KAU's official 1446H admission guide for this route states as "35 ألف ريال" ("35 thousand riyal") for the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, charged per academic SEMESTER ("للفصل الدراسي الواحد"), not per year — KAU's academic year normally runs two semesters and the guide never states a combined annual total, so do not double this figure without confirming with KAU. This is a college-wide (faculty-wide) rate: it applies equally to every major taught in this faculty (Computer Science, Information Systems, Information Technology), not a Computer-Science-specific price. The stated figure excludes VAT ("المقابل المالي المذكور غير شامل لضريبة القيمة المضافة"). The guide's cover states Hijri year 1446, Second Semester, with no Gregorian academic year given; this exact PDF is nonetheless the document KAU's live 'Available Programs for Non-Saudi Admission (with Fees)' admissions page currently links as its official guide, so it is used here as KAU's current published reference for this fee — applicants should reconfirm current-cycle dates and any fee changes directly via KAU's admission portal (بوابة عزز, adm.kau.edu.sa) or the Ministry of Education's Study in Saudi portal (studyinsaudi.moe.gov.sa) before applying.

Chemical Engineering

BSc · Chemical Engineering

International tuition

SAR 35,000 per term

Verified

1446 هـ · Faculty-wide rate · International students

RESIDENTS OF SAUDI ARABIA ONLY: this admission route and fee are for non-Saudi students who are already resident in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (e.g. on a family/dependent iqama) and are applying through KAU's 'Admission of Non-Saudis with a Financial Fee' bachelor's track. It is NOT available to applicants applying from outside Saudi Arabia, and it is a separate, different route from KAU's free/funded international scholarship track (which has its own eligibility rules and does not charge this fee — applicants already holding another scholarship from a Saudi institution are ineligible for this fee-paying route). The amount above (SAR 35,000) is what KAU's official 1446H admission guide for this route states as "35 ألف ريال" ("35 thousand riyal") for the Faculty of Engineering, charged per academic SEMESTER ("للفصل الدراسي الواحد"), not per year — KAU's academic year normally runs two semesters and the guide never states a combined annual total, so do not double this figure without confirming with KAU. This is a college-wide (faculty-wide) rate: it applies equally to every Engineering major listed in the same guide, not a Chemical-Engineering-specific price. KAU's guide lists this major as restricted to male students (طلاب) under this admission route. The stated figure excludes VAT. The guide's cover states Hijri year 1446, Second Semester, with no Gregorian academic year given; this exact PDF is nonetheless the document KAU's live 'Available Programs for Non-Saudi Admission (with Fees)' admissions page currently links as its official guide, so it is used here as KAU's current published reference for this fee — applicants should reconfirm current-cycle dates and any fee changes directly via KAU's admission portal (بوابة عزز, adm.kau.edu.sa) or the Ministry of Education's Study in Saudi portal (studyinsaudi.moe.gov.sa) before applying.
