Transfers can only be considered if spaces are still available on the selected course.
• Eligibility will still be processed when transferring to the new course, and so it is important that all the necessary entry requirements for the chosen course would be clearly available in the student's profile from original vetting which led to Registration as MCAST student. Otherwise it will not be possible to vet eligibility for the Transfer.
• To this effect, if during this time window you are now eligible for a higher level or a different programme, [from the one you would have been registered on after successful completion of MAIN CALL application process], after achieving additional grades following (for example) publication of MATSEC / SEC end-September 2026 Results, it is important that when filling in the online form here https://forms.office.com/e/8ab8waLs5U, a full clear scan of the latest results slip (NOT SMS screenshot) is uploaded accordingly.
• If for some reason you have not submitted an application between 13th July (0800h) and 14th August 2026 (1400h) and you now want to submit such a new application, kindly refer to the Late Application Call (refer to next section hereunder in the Admissions Window) – please ensure reading the terms and conditions which come with that late application call – updated accordingly till eve of call opening.

• Only in-person applications are received during this Late Call…. during the set dates and times.
• This Late Call Applications' window is the final chance to submit an application for an MCAST Full Time programme. Note that FT Programmes available during this LATE call, will not include courses that would have become oversubscribed after closure of Main Call [14 August 2026 (1400h)].
• This Late Call is NOT available for applicants who would have in the past been registered students at MCAST and who for any reason would have stopped their programme of studies at some point (up to July 2026). Such instances of Returning to continue studying at MCAST need to have submitted their application during the Main Call [13 July (0800h) till 14 August 2026 (1400h)]
• Before coming in person to MCAST to submit their late application, applicants must have secured (via Identita agency) that they have active and valid EID credentials linked to their Maltese Identity Document.

• Wherever a course requires some form of Medical Clearance (please refer to the respective course webpage on MCAST website – Full Time courses section), applicant must also bring along the hardcopy version of a complete filled-in form, including any endorsement signatures as may be necessary from a Professional Medical Practitioner, as well as any parents' signature/s (for applicants under the age of 18 years). Without such a complete document, the application cannot be received and processed.

• This late call does not come with Maturity Clause arrangements, neither will it be possible to try and find comparable alternatives to what is clearly explained as the Entry Requirements published in the respective Course Webpage (in terms of Exams / Certificates etc). Where Initial Assessment Tests are involved as part of entry eligibility vetting into Level 1 or Level 2, there will only be one sitting which must be utilised by the applicant in order to have the application processed. In the case of Master in Veterinary Medicine (and only if spaces will still be available following the Main Call), applicants must be in clear possession of the required minimum of Grade B in MATSEC exams (as per entry requirements stated on course webpage) … late applicants will not have any opportunity for the course specific entry examinations.
• This Late Call Applications' window, is available for TCNs and EU Nationals already residing in Malta who do not have an active Maltese EID (required to create a MCAST CMIS account). The process here requires the presentation to MCAST of a previous clear communication with Identita Agency which proves that the process for getting the EID for the applicant, has either started off or else Identita Agency confirms that the applicant will not be entitled to an EID for a justified purpose. IMPORTANT: this process of applying without an active and valid EID, will take longer due to the alternative method and may take a number of weeks to be processed – always depending on whether all the required documents would have been properly presented to MCAST accordingly (including any MQRIC Statements for Non-Maltese qualifications which would be presented to cover entry eligibility).
• This Late Application window is NOT available for applicants who when coming in person to MCAST on the set dates and times, do not have all the necessary documentation (including Medical Clearance forms where applicable) as well as entry requirements (including the MQRIC statement for non-Maltese qualifications) by 30th September 2026. Applications intended for submission under the Maturity Clause will not be processed – as already explained earlier… the opportunity for any Maturity Clause application submission, is only possible during the Main Call.

Wherever results will be published and a clear Form B, C, or D application status would have been assigned by the Institute and would have been communicated accordingly and in time for student to submit the required online application by not later than the 14th August 2026 (1400h), not submitting such Forms B, C or D by the set deadline, will mean that the student is no longer interested in Progressing (Form B), Continuing (Form C) or Repeating (Form D) on the programme of studies one would have been registered as at July 2026. Later submissions for such Applications will NOT be considered.
