​​​Applications to Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University are submitted through the National Unified Admission Platform, an electronic system that centralizes admission to public universities and the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation. The platform serves as the primary national reference for information and services related to unified electronic admission for all male and female applicants in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is the specialized source for facilitating and streamlining university admission processes for institutions and students alike. The platform currently enables applications to public universities and to the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation.​
