When does university admission begin? We are entering university. Tactics and strategy of actions of applicants and their parents. Official submission of documents to the university upon arrival in Russia

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 the additional conditions of the chosen educational institution, undergo a medical examination, if necessary, and everything will work out. Now let's look at each stage in more detail.

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.

Below are the dates current for 2019 admissions.

After July 27, all your attention should be focused on the university website. You cannot miss the moment when you will need to submit an application for consent to enrollment and original documents. Without these papers, even with the best USE results, the university will not consider you as a future student. You see that you are passing the rating, run to submit your documents.

The main admission tool is the university website, where the ranking of applicants will be regularly updated

Changes 2018

This year has not brought global changes to the procedure for admission to higher education institutions, but some amendments are worth taking into account when preparing. What's new?

• Universities will independently determine the requirements for applicants with vocational education diplomas (college, technical school). Applicants will undergo entrance tests at the educational institution.
• The total number of competitive places for distance learning will decrease.
• You can now receive up to 10 points for various achievements during your schooling and sports career (in 2017 - up to 20).
• Victories and prizes in All-Russian Olympiads will provide benefits for 4 years. Win the Olympiad in the 9th or 10th grade and don’t think about future admission at all.
• For another year, Crimeans can take the all-Russian test or undergo special entrance tests at universities upon admission. In 2019, Crimean schoolchildren will also begin taking the Unified State Exam.
• One of the main changes in the process of admission to higher education institutions will affect target students. Now the contract will be concluded between the applicant, the university and the employer. Previously, only the applicant and the university were involved in this scheme. After successful training, the applicant is required to work for three years in the organization that issued the referral.
• Universities will themselves determine how many additional points an applicant will receive for an essay (1-10).
• Applicants who have chosen the direction “Intelligent Systems in the Humanities” will take mathematics for any chosen period of study.

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 several examples of typical mistakes of applicants and options for correcting them.

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 start a new life, but in the meantime, prepare for several weeks of stress. Good luck and may everything work out!

If you enter a university after the 11th grade of school, then in most cases you must pass the Unified State Exam (USE). What subjects are needed for admission to the direction or specialty you have chosen can be found in the list of entrance tests in the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated September 4, 2014 No. 1204.

In some cases, along with the Unified State Exam, you may need to pass additional entrance tests:

• upon admission to budgetary education in specialties and areas included in the approved order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated January 17, 2014 No. 21, for example, “architecture”, “journalism” or “medicine”;
• upon admission to Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov (MSU). The list of specialties and areas for which additional entrance tests must be taken is determined by MSU independently;
• if you enter a university where studies require access to state secrets or public service, for example, the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The rules for admission to such universities are determined by the federal authorities that supervise them.

2. Is it possible to enter a university without the Unified State Exam?

• applicants who received general secondary education on the territory of the Republic of Crimea or in the city of Sevastopol in 2017 or 2018 - only in the calendar year in which they received the certificate.*

To apply to the chosen university, you must score a number of points equal to minimum score or exceeding it. The university itself determines the minimum score for each specialty and direction, but cannot set it below the level approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

A competition is being held among applicants who have submitted documents for admission.

You can get a higher education in Russia for free once. This restriction does not apply to master's studies - after a bachelor's or specialist's degree, you can enroll in a master's program at a budget department.

6. Who can enter without exams?

The following people can enter the university without entrance exams:

• winners and prize-winners of the final stage of the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren or the IV stage of the All-Ukrainian student Olympiad, if they enter specialties and directions, "> corresponding to the profile of the Olympiad - for 4 years, not counting the year in which the Olympiad was held;

However, the university itself determines which Olympiad winners and prize-winners are accepted from the list without exams (or provide them with other benefits upon admission), in which class the applicant should have taken part in them, and what areas and specialties the Olympiad profile corresponds to.

In addition, in order to take advantage of the benefit, the winner or prize-winner of the Olympiad from the list of the Ministry of Education and Science must score a certain number of points on the Unified State Exam in a core subject, which the university also sets independently, but not less than 75.

7. What is “targeted learning”?

Some universities provide admission to targeted training in specialties included in the list determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

An applicant entering within the target quota is sent for training by a region of the Russian Federation, a government agency or a company with which the university has entered into an agreement on admitting applicants for targeted training. You can find out whether such agreements have been concluded at the university of your choice by contacting the admissions office. Applicants entering under the target quota do not participate in the general competition.

9. How is enrollment done?

Until July 27 inclusive, on its official website, the university publishes lists of applicants applying for a bachelor's or specialty degree in a budget department of full-time or part-time study and who have passed the minimum score threshold.

The lists are ranked by the number of points, that is, higher positions are occupied by applicants whose total number of points for the Unified State Examination, additional entrance tests and individual achievements are higher. If the number of points is the same, they take into account who scored more points on the specialized entrance test and who has the right to priority admission.

After this, enrollment begins. It takes place in several stages:

• priority admission stage - enroll applicants who enter without exams, within the framework of a special or targeted quota. These applicants must, by July 28, submit to the university where they decided to enroll and where they passed the exams, the original document on previous education and an application for consent to enrollment. The enrollment order is issued on July 29;
• Stage I of enrollment - at this stage, the university can fill up to 80% of the budget places remaining free after priority enrollment in each specialty or area. Applicants are admitted according to the position they occupy on the list of applicants - those who occupy a higher position are admitted first. At this stage, you must submit the original document on previous education and an application for consent to enrollment no later than August 1. The enrollment order is issued on August 3;
• Stage II of enrollment - the university fills the remaining budget places. Applicants who will be admitted at this stage must submit the original document on previous education and an application for consent to admission no later than August 6. The order is issued on August 8.

The university updates the list of applicants daily, excluding from them those who decided to enroll in another university and those who are already enrolled.

The university determines the deadlines for enrollment in paid departments and correspondence courses independently.

In 2018, the Ministry of Education and Science will continue to test new rules regarding the deadlines for enrollment in universities. Order No. 1147 of the Ministry of Education and Science was adopted back in 2016, on October 14. According to the text of the order, new procedures for the admission of future bachelors, specialists and masters have been established since 2017. The order gives clear instructions to universities to post information about enrollment deadlines no later than October 1 of the new academic year. The information should also include deadlines for correspondence students. In addition to these innovations, the ministry introduced such concepts as “consent to enrollment,” but first things first.

Stages of enrollment in universities in 2018. Deadlines

By 06/01/2018, universities and institutions of secondary specialized education must announce on their websites or specially designated places in institutions:

Number of budget and paid places in 2018,

What is “Consent to Enrollment” in the new procedure for admission to universities?

Terms and procedure for enrollment in master's programs from 2018

Every year, thousands of graduates leave Russian schools, most of whom (about 70%) are aimed at entering universities. This is a complex and very responsible process that requires careful preparation and scrupulous study of the rules and procedures of the introductory campaign.

What changes have been introduced?

Since 2016, enrollment in Russian higher education institutions has been regulated by Order No. 1147 of the Ministry of Education and Science.

Timing of the introductory campaign

The deadlines for submitting documents have been changed. Universities begin accepting applications on June 20 (no later than this date) and end on July 26 for those who apply only based on the results of the Unified State Exam or outside the competition. If the specialty requires passing additional creative or professional exams, then the period for submitting documents is reduced, but ends no earlier than July 7. Applicants applying for internal tests (college graduates; those who passed the State Examination) can submit applications until July 10.

The procedure for admission to the correspondence department does not provide for specific deadlines, therefore, in this matter, universities make their own decisions, which they inform applicants in advance through information stands and their official websites. Typically, applications from future part-time students are accepted after the first wave of full-time enrollment - from August 3 to 16, but often the dates are shifted until the beginning of September. If you immediately decide to study part-time, then you can also submit your application from June 20, without waiting for the ranking lists of applicants for free full-time study places to appear. Later, paid students also submit applications - universities themselves set specific dates, usually the end of accepting applications from those wishing to study under contracts is August 26.

Unified State Exam, additional exams and portfolio

1. Professional or creative tests. Some educational institutions received the right to organize additional exams aimed at identifying the professional suitability of applicants. Since 2016, new requirements have been introduced for 64 specialties. Among them were not only creative fields, but also medical, pedagogical and philological professions. Universities can annually change the form of testing (interview, passing standards, testing, etc.). At the same time, all educational institutions announce the new admission rules in advance (before October 1 of the year preceding the start of the admissions campaign) and provide clear instructions for their implementation.
2. Opportunity to earn extra 10 points for an essay. Now universities are given the right to independently decide on the number of points awarded for an essay. Year 11 students take this test in December and those who fail the exam are given two additional attempts to retake it. Next, all essays are placed in a special database, to which any university in the country has access. Upon admission, the graduate can attach his essay to the general package of documents, which will be checked by representatives of the institution. As a result, they can add an additional 10 points to the total USE points.
3. Additional specialized exams. These are internal tests in disciplines included in the list of Unified State Exam subjects (as opposed to professional and creative tests, which are not carried out in subjects of the Unified State Exam). But there are not so many universities throughout the country that have the right to conduct them: these are Moscow State University and St. Petersburg State University (their privilege is secured by the law on education) and universities, the list of which is approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. Now there are 4 of them: MGIMO, Moscow State Law Academy named after. Kutafin, MSLU and NGLU named after. Dobrolyubova. Other universities and institutes conduct exams in Unified State Examination subjects not in addition to the Unified State Exam, but instead of it - for those who have passed the State Examination or are entering after college, and also intend to receive a second higher education (accordingly, already have a university diploma).
4. Changes in the Unified State Examination in mathematics. Since 2016, school graduates have been given the right to independently choose the type of exam in mathematics, which can be basic or specialized. If an applicant chooses a specialty that requires results in mathematics, then he is required to pass the specialized Unified State Exam. If his future profession does not involve passing this discipline, then he only needs to pass the basic exam.
5. Exclusion of the test part for a number of subjects. The Ministry of Education has excluded the test part from the Unified State Exam in social studies, geography, history and computer science. Previously, the same rule was applied to the Russian language exam: the need for this change is due to the fact that many examinees assign answers at random, and now, in the absence of such an opportunity, graduates approach preparation for the Unified State Exam more seriously.
6. Opportunity to retake the Unified State Exam. The Unified State Examination in compulsory subjects can be retaken during the year (in additional terms), the Unified State Examination in elective subjects - only the next year.
7. Dormitory information. A new order of the Ministry of Education obliges rectors of all universities to provide complete and open information about the availability of free places in dormitories. Previously, there were cases when the management of institutions, in order to attract a larger number of applicants, kept silent about the number of places in dormitories. Now such information must be disclosed without fail before June 1, which will give applicants the opportunity to choose the most suitable university.
8. Applicant's portfolio. An innovation has also appeared, which can bring candidates an additional 10 points upon admission. The following conditions will be taken into account:
   • availability in all subjects;
   • participation in international and all-Russian school Olympiads;
   • having the title of World, European or Olympic (and Paralympic) Games champion;
   • taking active part in volunteer programs;

Rules for admission after college

Applicants who have graduated from colleges, technical schools and vocational schools can enter universities based on the results of internal exams of the educational institution and the Unified State Examination. The decision on which path to choose is made by the candidate for student status - universities cannot insist on any option.

Since 2016, all college graduates are enrolled in universities as first-year students, but can enter into an agreement on accelerated study of the university program if they entered a bachelor’s degree in a specialized specialty: the duration of their studies will be shortened due to the re-registration of previously passed disciplines.

Step one - prepare a list of documents

The applicant can choose the forms of study and the basis (contractual or budgetary) at his own discretion within the framework of the procedures established by the university.

For applicants to specialties that require additional tests in the form of specialized exams or exams conducted by the university - July 10;

For applicants whose admission results include only Unified State Exam scores - July 25.

Step three - enrollment results

Until July 27, educational institutions undertake to publish lists of names of applicants with exam results. If you are in a good position and understand that you pass based on points, then feel free to bring the original documents to the university for your chosen specialty. remember, that August 1 - deadline for submitting originals for the first thread. If you do not provide the originals by the end of this day, you are automatically considered to have refused enrollment.
