3. Arrange for TOEFL and IELTS scores to be sent directly at least 3 weeks before the last day of the application period. If direct sending cannot be confirmed, the application is not accepted.

5. After paying the application fee, you cannot change the application details. If two faculties hold exams on the same day, you can take only one of them.
