Haliç University How to Apply from Morocco — Step‑by‑Step Process

Overview — Who Manages Applications and What to Expect

Haliç University’s International Office handles all international undergraduate applications. Moroccan applicants follow the same procedure as other international candidates: complete the online application, upload required documentation, receive a conditional acceptance, pay the deposit, and obtain an official acceptance plus visa support. The International Office provides guidance throughout registration and arrival, and in‑person registration and orientation happen after arrival in Turkiye.

Step 1 — Fill Out the Online Application Form

• Direct applicants should start by completing Haliç University’s online application on the International Office portal.
• For recruiters and agents: centralize student application data (name, DOB, passport, educational background) in your CRM before initiating the online submission to avoid errors and speed up verification.

Step 2 — Upload Required Documents (Morocco‑Specific Notes)

Moroccan applicants must prepare the following documents. All academic documents must be translated to English or Turkish and legalized for international use where noted.

Required Documents:

• Valid passport (clear, color scan)
• High school transcript (translated into English or Turkish)
• High school diploma (translated into English or Turkish)
  • IMPORTANT: All high school documents must be stamped and approved by the Moroccan Ministry of Education and the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (legalization/apostille procedures as applicable) for international use.
• Language proficiency:
  • For programs taught in English: TOEFL iBT (minimum 75), IELTS (minimum 6.5), or PTE (minimum 58) — if available.
  • For programs taught in Turkish: TÖMER C1 level or higher — if available.
• Motivational letter: required only for Medicine applicants.
• Additional program‑specific documents: some faculties may request entrance exam scores (SAT or national exam equivalents), portfolios, or letters of recommendation depending on the field of study.

Best Practice for Recruiters/Admissions Teams

• Validate translations and legal stamps before upload.
• Maintain a checklist for each student and provide a pre‑submission document audit to reduce conditional rejections.
• Use standardized file naming (e.g., Surname_GivenName_Diploma.pdf) to streamline processing by the International Office.

Step 3 — Receive Conditional Acceptance

• After document review, the applicant receives a Conditional Acceptance Letter by email. This letter is typically valid for 30 days and specifies the deposit amount required to reserve a place.
• For Medicine applicants, expect a higher deposit (for example, USD 4,500 is commonly cited for medical programs). Exact amounts may vary by year and program.

Operational Tips

• Set calendar reminders for conditional acceptance expiration.
• For agents: confirm bank transfer instructions with the university before advising students to pay deposits.

Step 4 — Pay the Deposit

• The deposit is non‑refundable and must be paid within the period stated on the conditional acceptance letter. The deposit amount is deducted from the first year’s tuition fee once the student is fully admitted.
• After payment, email the payment receipt to the International Office to trigger official acceptance issuance.

For Teams Handling Payments

• Provide students with clear banking instructions and recipient details (SWIFT/IBAN) to minimize delays.
• Where possible, support multiple payment channels (bank transfer, payment platforms) and keep payment confirmations centralized for audit and reconciliation.

Step 5 — Receive Official Acceptance and Visa Support

• Once deposit confirmation is received, Haliç University issues the Official Acceptance Letter and a Visa Support Letter to assist the student’s Turkish student visa application at the nearest Turkish diplomatic mission.
• Recruiters and agents should prepare students for the visa application by ensuring the acceptance package and required consular documents are complete.

Documents Checklist — Quick Reference for Moroccan Applicants

• Passport (valid, clear color copy)
• High school transcript (translated, legalized)
• High school diploma (translated, legalized)
• Language test (TOEFL 75 / IELTS 6.5 / PTE 58 or TÖMER C1)
• Motivational letter (for Medicine)
• Entrance exam scores or portfolios (if required)
• Deposit payment receipt (after conditional acceptance)

Timeline and Intake Windows

Primary intake: Fall (September) for most undergraduate programs. Some programs may offer a Spring intake; always verify the specific program dates in advance. Allow 6–10 weeks for document legalization, translations and processing, plus visa processing time once the official acceptance and visa support are issued. Start the process well in advance of program start dates.

Program‑Specific Considerations — Medicine and Competitive Programs

Medicine — What to Know and Alternatives

• Medicine applicants typically submit a motivational letter and may have larger deposits (example: USD 4,500).
• Entrance exams or additional academic proof can be required.
• If applicants consider medical programs across other leading Turkiye universities, options include Medipol University and Istinye University, both known for medical faculties and supportive international admissions offices.

Practical Tips for Recruiters, Admissions Teams and Agents

Pre‑application Audit and Automation

• Use an application checklist and an automated document intake platform to capture required files, validate formats, and flag missing legalization stamps before submitting to Haliç University.
• Implement automated email templates for conditional acceptance, deposit reminders, and visa guidance to reduce manual workload and improve conversion rates.

Communication and Compliance

• Assign a single point of contact for each applicant to avoid confusion and ensure fast responses to International Office queries.
• Keep copies of legalized documents and payment receipts in both student and agency records for audit and compliance.

Marketing & Conversion Strategies

• For recruitment teams: highlight program language of instruction, campus location, and practical training opportunities in promotional materials.
• Use testimonials and case studies from Moroccan alumni where available, and map clear ROI narratives for students and parents.

Arrival, Registration and Orientation at Haliç University

After arrival in Turkiye, students complete in‑person registration and orientation at Haliç University. The International Office supports enrollment formalities, student card issuance, and orientation programs to help students settle academically and socially. Advise students to carry original documents, deposit receipts, and multiple certified copies for final verification.

Cost Considerations & Scholarships

Tuition and living costs vary by program and city. Medicine and specialized programs generally command higher fees. The deposit is applied toward tuition once the student is fully accepted. Investigate scholarship or financial aid possibilities at application stage and advise students to apply early.
