What Online Services Does the BAU Website Offer to Students and Staff?

Updated

The official website of Al-Balqa Applied University (BAU), bau.edu.jo, offers two main service gateways — a student portal and a staff portal — plus a set of e-services that include proposals and information requests, regulations and legislation, tenders and bids, and a digital Al-Balqa platform. These services support registration, academic records, and administrative tasks. The sections below describe what each gateway and service covers, based on what the site itself presents.

Main Service Gateways

The homepage places two portals prominently alongside an admissions gateway:

  • Student portal (بوابة الطالب) — the entry point for enrolled students.
  • Staff portal (بوابة الموظفين) — the entry point for employees.
  • Admissions gateway (بوابة القبولات) — a separate route for applicants.

The site also repeats links for Al-Balqa and the World (البلقاء والعالم) and Graduates (الخريجين), which serve international-facing and alumni audiences respectively.

E-Services Listed on the Site

Under an "Electronic Services (الخدمات الإلكترونية)" heading, the homepage lists:

Service What it is for
Proposals and information requests (المقترحات وطلب المعلومة) Submitting suggestions and requesting information
Regulations and legislation (الانظمة والتشريعات) Accessing university rules and bylaws
Tenders and bids (العطاءات والاحالات) Procurement notices and award announcements
Digital Al-Balqa platform (منصة البلقاء الرقمية) The university's digital platform

Each of these has a "More (المزيد)" link on the homepage, meaning the full content sits on its own page rather than on the landing page.

Academic and Administrative Support

The site organizes academic information by level, with dedicated blocks for:

  • Postgraduate programs (برامج الدراسات العليا) — programs and fees, master's admissions, higher diploma admissions, student guide, and the university calendar.
  • Bachelor's programs (برامج البكالوريس) — programs, admissions, the specialization bulletin for the first semester, study plans, and the student guide.
  • Diploma programs (الدبلوم) — programs, admissions, the specialization bulletin for the first semester, study plans, and the student guide.

The university calendar (التقويم الجامعي) is the reference for key dates, and the site's "Important Dates (تواريخ مهمة)" section shows examples such as the deadline for submitting objection results to Admission and Registration for the summer semester 2025/2026. This is the kind of administrative task the calendar and portals are meant to support.

What the Site Says About Its Scale

The homepage statistics give context for how large the user base of these services is:

  • 25 colleges
  • +30 postgraduate programs
  • +115 bachelor's programs
  • +165 diploma programs
  • +240,000 graduates
  • +65,000 students
  • +1,590 academics
  • +2,200 administrative staff

How to Use These Services

  1. Decide which gateway fits you: applicants use the admissions gateway, current students use the student portal, and employees use the staff portal.
  2. For academic records, registration, and study plans, start from the program-level block (postgraduate, bachelor's, or diploma) that matches your enrollment.
  3. For rules and official documents, go to regulations and legislation; for procurement, go to tenders and bids.
  4. Check the university calendar and the important dates section before acting on any deadline-sensitive task.

The site does not state whether any of these services require a login or carry a fee, so treat access conditions as something to confirm on the individual service page.
