• Private health insurance covering care in the UAE is mandatory for all AUD students except UAE Nationals. In order to meet this requirement by enrolling in the AUD-sponsored health insurance plan, students are charged a non-refundable fee on their Fall semester bill covering the period September 1 through August 31. For this fee to be waived, students are required to provide evidence of currently valid private health insurance covering care in the UAE (original insurance card or attached colored copy) to the Finance Office. Deadline to do so is the last day of the Fall semester Drop/Add. Failure to provide this proof before the deadline will result in canceling your option to waive the health insurance coverage and associated fee.

• Non-refundable application fee of AED 200. Due to the high number of applicants, students are requested to pay a (non-refundable) deposit of AED 5,000, which is fully applied toward tuition within two months of the start of the term of entry. No Application will be accepted after this date without the reservation deposit.
