We are a group of students at the Islamic University in Madinah. This page was created in hopes of helping out prospective American students who want information about the university.
The official website for the University is http://www.IU.EDU.SA there you can find the address and the application form.
The age limit is 25 but there are exceptions to the rule. There are no fees in the university. If a student gets accepted he will be a full scholarship student. There is no set requirement for memorizing the Quran except for the faculty of the Quran. Students who do not speak Arabic will enroll in the Institue of Arabic Language upon acceptance. If you want to apply have all the required documents and come for a personal interview to increase your chances. The university currently only accepts male students.

The university as of now is only for males. There are plans to introduce a womens section. Currently, there are other opportunities for sisters to study in KSA such as Um Alqura university in Makkah.

The exception is that a revert/convert who is over the age limit is more likely to get accepted than someone who is born of Eastern linage.
Being a medical doctor has nothing to do with being accepted. You can still try and apply, there is nothing to lose. Just do not keep your hopes up because there is no guarantee that you will be accepted.

Please read http://madinahstudents.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/applying-to-university/
Please consider that getting accepted takes some time after you apply and it is not guaranteed.

Asalamu Aleykum ahki,
Firstly, I ask Allah to reward you for your tremendous efforts in assisting you Muslim brothers and sisters. This blog has been very beneficial for me, and for many others. With that said, I am planning on making Umrah this summer with my family Insha Allah, and would like to apply to Madinah University and Ummul Qura. I have heard that students who personally come to apply, are usually accepted; could you please tell me if this is true? Jazakhullah Khair.

That is right. There is no guarantee, but the chances are bigger when one comes in person to apply.

As salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatu
My name is Saad Mommandi. I applied from the US and had a chance to go visit the university for an interview while visiting Saudi to make Hajj time last year. Unfortunately the majority of my documents were lost in the return due to a luggage mix up. I was wondering if the brothers who run this blog could put me in contact with someone (or do it themselves) who can ask a staff member for my application number for the sake of Allah. I see that it is required once admission is confirmed to see the next steps in going to study at the university.
If you need any proof of my identity, I can email a picture of my drivers license or such.
I applied as Sa’adullah Mommandi
(Saad like Saad ibn abi Waqqas, and Mommandi spelled Meem, Wow, Meem, Noon, daal, yaa)
May Allah reward you for your efforts.
