Why was my child denied admission to Mawhiba Classes? I hope you can clarify the reasons.
No application for the program was rejected. However, due to the high volume of applicants and the limited number of available seats, your child has been placed on the waiting list. If a spot becomes available, you will be contacted during the upcoming period.
I contacted the school and was told there was a seat available. Why wasn’t my child accepted?
Admission is granted to students with the highest scores on the Mawhiba Multiple Cognitive Aptitude Test (MMCAT) and is limited to those officially registered through the system.
Is it possible for siblings who passed the MMCAT to be placed in the same school? If one of them did not pass, would they still be accepted because their sibling was?
If all siblings pass the MMCAT, their placement in a particular school will depend on each one’s individual score, as priority is given to students with the highest scores. However, any student who does not pass the test will not be accepted, even if their sibling is among those admitted to the Mawhiba Classes.
Will my child be accepted next year, knowing that s/he has achieved the qualification level, but has not been registered by Mawhiba?
Registration is only open to students in the current academic year, as specified in the program’s admission requirements. Mawhiba does not reject any registration requests; however, due to the high volume of applicants and the limited number of available seats, your child has been placed on the waiting list. If a spot becomes available, you will be contacted during the upcoming period.
Why does my son appear as unqualified when he is allowed to enroll in Mawhiba Classes and has a qualification score?
Kindly review the Cities and Available Grades page to verify that registration is open for the student.
If the student is a non-Saudi with a Saudi mother, please ensure that a request to update the mother’s nationality has been submitted through the “Contact Us” page in the system, so that registration can be enabled for the student.

To resolve this, please submit an information update request through the Contact Us page and attach the following documents (mother’s family card - birth certificate - student ID). Once the information is updated, registration can be completed immediately.
