Admissions and Aid

Undergraduate Degree Admission Information
By applying to AATT you are being dually enrolled in AATT and RIT programs via RIT-Kosovo. To be considered for admission at AATT, students must show proficiency in English and Math, along with evidence of successful completion of high school at a high level of achievement. Students are classified into three different enrollment categories based on the entrance exam results:
Direct Admission
Students who have demonstrated above average knowledge in English and Mathematics are granted direct enrolment at AATT(At this level, they start directly with the Writing Seminar and Pre-calculus Math classes, which are considered to be the highest level classes for a freshman student.
In addition, they are allowed to register up to three other RIT credited classes.
Conditional Admission
Students, who have demonstrated that they need additional preparation in English, writing and comprehensive skills, are granted enrollment in this level. In the first academic semester, students take intensive English and Math classes. After successful completion, students take the Writing Seminar and Algebra. In addition, they get to take up to two other RIT credited classes, based on their assigned class schedule.
Alternative Admission
This process is an opportunity for students who wish to apply at AATT who due to different circumstances are unable to physically attend the Mathematics exam and/or submit standardized tests results
This system is similar to our regular admission process but with two main differences in English and Math criteria evaluation:
- Instead of taking the SAT or TOEFL, students will have the opportunity to be evaluated through an online interview with the Admission Committee (English Criteria).
- Instead of taking the SAT or the Institutional Math Exam, students will have the opportunity to submit their Math Grades from High School (Math Criteria).
*Please note* Students who receive admission through this process will NOT be eligible to apply for a scholarship.
Transfer students
