Admissions Guide

Machon Lev/Naveh
Campus at night
16
For students with limited background in Judaic studies formal classes are offered in
a broad range of subjects to provide students with exposure to many topics.
A Challenging Program
The various study programs described above are very challenging. From our experience
many students would like to undertake this difficult program, but extenuating
circumstances such as marriage and livlihood take priority. In order to assist, a Machon
Lev student who fulfills one of the following criteria, if he so desires, may be excused
from studies in the Beit Medrash:
A fourth year student who has completed mandatory Army duty and whose
program includes less than 12 credits per semester.
A fourth year student who is married.
A third year student who is a graduate of a Hesder Yeshiva and is married.
A graduate of JCT’s academic preparatory program with 8 credits in Judaic Studies.
A Machon Lev student who receives an exemption from Beit Medrash studies
will be eligible for stipends and scholarships according to the criteria of Machon
Naveh.
Housing Facilities
Machon Lev offers dormitory facilities and services to students. It is recommended
that unmarried students reside in the dorms, in an environment of Torah, to ensure
participation in the morning Tefilot, which is immediately followed by a class in
Halacha led by one of the Rabbis .
All residents of the dormitory are required to act in accordance with JCT bylaws,
which are publicized annually in the Student Handbook, and which students must
sign before moving into the dormitory.
Criteria for Dormitory Residence
The demand for dormitory residence is greater than the space available, therefore,
students should submit their application early, with a security deposit, to increase their
chance of obtaining a place in the dorm. The dormitory management will endeavor to
respond to the many requests, but unfortunately not everyone will get a room.
Priority will be given to those who:
Accept upon themselves the rules and regulations of the dorms
Are enrolled in full-time program
Apply early (first come, first served)
Reside outside of Jerusalem (Jerusalem residents can apply and will be placed on a
waiting list)
Students whose acceptance is dependent on their success in Elul studies can register
for the dorm. Approval of dormitory allotment will be determined only after their final
acceptance to the college and upon determination that they are eligible for the dorm.
Unfortunately we do not have residence facilities for married couples on campus.
Dormitory Fees
Dormitory fees range between NIS 3,900 and NIS 6,300 annually, depending on the
specifications of the room and the number of students in each room.
Specific details with regards to the dormitory facilities and registration procedure are
included in the Student Handbook sent with the letter of acceptance.
