- Your learning agreement, with the approvals required by the home and host institutions.
- Three recent biometric passport photographs.
- A passport copy and transcript of records.
- Your curriculum vitae (CV).
These items come from the university’s incoming application list, which says the home international office sends the application electronically and by post. Ask that office how its nomination and document process works for your cohort, and who checks that everything has arrived. Do not confuse a nomination with final acceptance or completed local enrolment.
Use a clear file name for each item and keep a copy of the version submitted. A learning agreement can change after arrival if classes or approvals change. Retain both the original and the approved replacement so you can follow what was recognised by each institution.
Confirm the Jabal Amman teaching location

Ask which orientation, registration or administrative appointments require travel to the main campus. Keep that journey separate from your ordinary local class route.
