“Higher Education” Warns of Fraudulent Advertisements Promoting University Admissions

In a press statement, the Ministry emphasized that these advertisements are not issued by the Ministry or by any university services offices licensed by it. It stressed that dealing with such entities is done at one’s own responsibility, given the potential financial and academic consequences that may result.

The Ministry added that its mandate is limited to regulating and monitoring offices that provide services to students operating within the Kingdom only. Such activities fall outside the scope of the Higher Education Student Services Offices Regulation No. (72) of 2017 in the Kingdom.

The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research urged students and their families to exercise the utmost caution before paying any sums of money to entities outside the Kingdom claiming the ability to secure university admissions at higher education institutions abroad.

It further stressed the importance of verifying the accuracy of such information in advance through accredited Jordanian embassies in the concerned countries or via officially approved channels, in order to avoid fraud and safeguard the rights of students and their families.

The Ministry also clarified that the list of licensed university services offices can be accessed through its official website link.
