Can I apply using a PC at my workplace?
There are no restrictions from the university on what kind of PC you should use when applying for the admission as long as it is connected to the Internet and can print documents such as application guidelines and application forms. However, you should be careful of your office PC's settings as registration includes the input of your important personal information.
Can I apply using my free e-mail account (Yahoo Mail, Gmail, etc.)?
There are no restrictions from the university on what kind of e-mail account you should use as long as it can receive notification e-mails automatically sent by our server at the time of application or after payment of screening fee. However, there are cases where you won't receive such automatic e-mails as some e-mail companies mistake them as spam or virus-infected e-mails.
Moreover, undelivered e-mails may not arrive to our e-mail center. In that case, be informed that our e-mail center cannot learn about the failure of your e-mail's delivery.
This is a problem on the e-mail provider's system or the mailer's (PC and mobile) configuration, so we are afraid that our e-mail center cannot provide solutions to solve the problem.
Can I use my mobile phone's e-mail account for registration?
Do not use your mobile phone's e-mail account for registration. Only use e-mail accounts that can be viewed on your PC.
