Diploma, HND (Higher National diploma) and equivalents in addition to ‘O’ level passes in addition to O level credit passes are normally admitted into the 200 level of the programme while holders of HND certificates may be admitted into the 300 level except for the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine programme For UME admissions, the B. Agriculture programme, for example, requires five credit passes in SSCE/WASC/GCE ‘O’ Level which must include Chemistry, Biology/Agricultural Science, Mathematics/Physics and English Language. The exact requirements of different programmes, which may be modified from time to time by the university Senate could be obtained from the University Registry as well as JAMB’s information publications for potential students.
The degree duration shown for most programmes are for UME candidates. Candidates with ND and HND or their equivalents spend fewer years in their programmes (as stated above), e.g. four or three years, respectively, in the B. Agric. compared to five years for UME candidates.
The University may admit on transfer, a student undergoing undergraduate degree programme in another recognized University provided such a student meets the minimum admission requirements of this University and is seeking transfer to a programme similar to the one he is transferring from. Application for transfer shall be made on the approved application obtainable from the Academic Affairs Unit or the Registrar’s Office on payment of the stipulated application fee approved by Senate.
