What documents are usually needed for admission to a university. What is needed to enter a university on a budget? What is needed to enter the institute

“What documents are needed to enter the university?” - this question arises every year before thousands of applicants and their parents. Let's try to figure out what exactly the admissions committees of various institutes, universities and academies may require.

Do I need a school certificate?

According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, every citizen of our country has the right to receive one higher education for free. It can be implemented in state or municipal universities, but admission there is carried out on the basis of competitive selection. For those who were unable to pass the competition or decided to study at a commercial university, there remains the opportunity to apply there and receive a higher education on a paid basis. In addition, you can receive a second education for a fee - there are no restrictions here.

However, the very concept of higher education implies that only those who already have secondary education can receive it. Consequently, the first document for an applicant wishing to enter a university will be a certificate received at school. If the future student has already mastered the secondary special education, then instead of a certificate he takes a diploma from a college or other vocational school.

In addition, an applicant who has completed school submits a document with the results of passing the Unified State Exam to the university. This is not required for college graduates: passing the Unified State Exam For them, it is voluntary; they can enter the university after examinations conducted at the university itself. The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation plans to change the procedure and introduce admission based on the results of the Unified State Exam for everyone, however, as of the beginning of 2016, the previous system is still in effect.

Don't know your rights?

What other documents are needed for admission to the university?

Any documents submitted to the university are considered only on the basis of the applicant’s application. It is usually written by hand on a special form, on which corrections are not allowed.

In addition, upon admission to the university you will need:

Passport. If the document is lost, a temporary certificate may be submitted.
Medical certificate form 086-U. It confirms the fact that the applicant is healthy enough to study, and in most universities it can be submitted after enrollment.
Photos. Typically, a university needs 4 to 6 black and white photos. In some cases, non-whites are acceptable, but this should be confirmed directly with the admissions office.

This is a minimum set of documents. Some universities have their own requirements. For example, admission to military schools may require the conclusion of a medical commission, and for the academies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - a certificate of no criminal record. The exact list of additional documents must be obtained directly from the educational institution where the applicant is planning to enroll. In addition, young men liable for military service will need to present a military ID or registration certificate. Documents can be submitted either in person through admissions committee, or by mail.

Is it possible to apply to several universities at once?

Some applicants hesitate until the last moment, not knowing where exactly to enroll; others want to try their luck in several places at once, so that if they fail at one university, they do not lose a year and do not have to wait until the next admission. It is for such cases that Russian legislation allows for the possibility of filing applications in several places at once.

However, as of 2019, the following rules apply:

You can apply to no more than 5 universities at the same time.
At each university you can try to enroll in no more than 3 faculties at the same time. There is no need to submit a set of documents for each of them separately - it is enough to indicate in the application all 3 areas of training that the applicant is trying to enroll in.

The rules for submitting documents are the same for each of them. The only difference is that in this case the certificate and medical certificate can be replaced with copies. They can be certified either by a notary (if they are sent in a letter) or directly by the admissions committee. However, if admission does take place, you will also need to present the originals.

Documents for obtaining a second education

If a person who already has a university diploma decides to get a second education, he will have to submit the same documents (only instead of a certificate, the original diploma of first education is submitted). In addition, in this case, many universities also request a copy of the TIN or a certificate from the place of employment. What exactly is required must be found out directly at the university.

The start of accepting documents for universities is approaching. Today we will talk about how not to miss your chance because of little things.

The admission rules are quite simple. Don’t miss deadlines and have time to submit original documents; study additional conditions selected educational institution, go through a medical examination if necessary, and everything will work out. Now let's look at each stage in more detail.

Don't panic! If you comply with all deadlines, there will be no problems with admission.

The most important thing about documents

If you have prepared for admission in advance, then the meeting with the admissions committee will take you 10-15 minutes, not counting the possible queue of people who want to become your classmates and friends at the university. For regular public and private universities, a standard package of documents is required:

statement;
copy of the passport;
a copy of the certificate with an attachment.

In 2019, the Unified State Exam results of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 will be valid.

Some universities may require a medical certificate 086/у. The need to provide it, as well as the list of other documents, can be found on the official website of the university.

Also collect documents that will confirm your benefits upon admission, if any. You must bring the originals of these papers to your chosen university. This rule applies to all beneficiaries, target recipients, winners of Olympiads and specialized professional competitions.

winners and prize-winners of the All-Russian Olympiads for schoolchildren;
gold medalists of the Olympic, Paralympic and Deaflympic Games;
world or European champions in any sport;
members of Russian teams of international Olympiads in general education subjects (specialized areas).

Athletes can only enroll in areas of study related to physical education and sports without entrance examinations.

Applicant calendar: application deadlines and other important dates

Applicants to military universities, academies of internal affairs and educational institutions that have special requirements for the physical training of students need to prepare much earlier. Have a standard medical examination in November or December. This will save you time.

Typical mistakes and questions for applicants

So, now you have complete information about when and how to apply to universities. But not always and not everyone succeeds perfectly, so we have selected a few examples typical mistakes applicants and options for their correction.

There is another situation that sometimes fails applicants who prefer “bird in hand.”

What should you do if you entered the university of your dreams in the second wave, but have already transferred the originals to another educational institution?

So, you entered one of the universities, took the original documents there and calmed down. But it’s a bit of a pity that it’s the same one best-prestigious-popular-convenient-interesting The university did not accept you to study. You open the website of the desired educational institution and see that your name is already on the list of those recommended for admission. What to do?

Assess the deadlines for submitting originals and your position in the ranking. Filling out the expulsion order and collecting documents from the first-wave university will take about a day, after which you need to transfer the original documents to the new university and have time to submit an application for consent to study. You should have at least 2-3 days for the re-entry process.

Take action! Some universities deliberately, although they do not admit it, delay the issuance of originals. Especially if the educational institution is not very popular, and you have good results. Therefore, do not tell the admissions committee about your dream. Say that there are family circumstances, that’s why you are taking the documents.

Very soon you will become students and begin new life, in the meantime, prepare for a few weeks of stress. Good luck and may everything work out!
