There are no changes to admission requirements for thanaweya amma students applying to private universities in the 2021-22 academic year, according to a new decision by the Supreme Council of Private Universities. Youm7 has the full list of majors and the minimum grades. Meanwhile, non-Thanaweya Amma students — who either completed a foreign diploma or graduated from a high school in an Arabic-speaking country — can now submit applications directly to the universities to be admitted at the start of the fall semester.

Reminder: Admissions into private universities won’t be the same this time around. Here’s all you need to know about the Higher Education Ministry’s new online applications portal, which consolidates enrollment applications to all non-state universities in one place and will become mandatory for admission from the 2021-2022 academic year.

Other things we’re keeping an eye on this morning:

• The third phase of the new export support program will be launched on Sunday. Exporters will have until 29 July to submit requests for receiving their payments as a lump-sum.
• Businessman Hassan Rateb, who was arrested yesterday for allegedly funding illegal excavations of antiques, will remain in detention for four days.
