BY FRANCISCA I. AYODELE ADMISSIONS OFFICER (UNDERGRADUATE) 1

 I start by congratulating you on your success at any of the University’s three Post-UTME that you attended, which culminated in your being recommended for admission into this great citadel of learning, the premier University in Nigeria. Congratulations!!! 2

 This topic may not be too relevant to most of you at this time, considering the fact that more than 90% of you recommended for admission have gone through the process of admission clearance, however, I would still implore you to give me your full attention, as one or two information useful to your stay on this campus will be passed across through this talk. 3

 After you have been recommended for admission and your names taken to JAMB Abuja for approval, as well as displayed on the website of the university, you are first expected to pay the sum of N7, as Admission Acceptance fee, and come to the Admission’s Office for clearance for these reasons: 4

 [a]To present the originals of all your academic credential for sighting to ensure compatibility with the results you logged in on- line with which you got invited for interaction. 5

 [b] To also get registered fully at the Admissions Office as a student of the University. It is at this point, that a file is opened for you, which will later on be transferred to the Records Office at the appropriate time. 6

 [c]To submit your reference letters, written for you by persons authorized to do so, in attestation of your good moral conduct. This is because, at the end of your stay here, your degree will be awarded to you on the basis of your character and learning. Should you get yourself involved in any disciplinary matter, the persons who stood as referees for you will be contacted. 7

 Acceptance form  Jamb result  ‘O’ level, ‘A’ level or other results with which your admission was processed.  Two reference letters  Biodata form 8

 JAMB letter of Admission  UTME result slip  Ten (10) recent passport size photographs  Birth Certificate or Sworn Declaration of Age  Bank teller for payment of N7,500 Admission's acceptance fee 9

 Medical Form  Undertaking Form  UI Jamb Form B003 10

 Having gone through the process of clearance, you are issued an “Authority to Pay”, which signifies a perfect completion of the process and authenticates your offer of admission, after which you move on to do the other registration like medical registration, financial clearance, hall allocation clearance, Faculty and departmental clearance etc. 11

 Please note these information:  Now that you have been admitted and cleared, you are not permitted to write another UTME and make U.I any of your choices, if you were not asked to withdraw from the University due to poor academic performance. When asked to withdraw due to a disciplinary problem, you have fallen short of the University’s expectation of your character, and so, cannot come back. 12

 Upgrading of Admission status from 100 to 200 level.  Uploading of your picture and signature on the University portal, to enable you be issued your I.D card later.  Log in of Jamb Registration Number to know and get information on matriculation number and hall of residence on the Portal. 13

 At a date to be announced later, the University will matriculate you at an impressive ceremony right here in this hall.  Please endeavour to have a focus and not allow yourself to be derailed, because if you do, you may not go beyond matriculation.  Mind the company you keep and move only with persons who can add value to your life. 14

 Once again, I congratulate you and wish you a fruitful period of studentship on this campus.  God bless. 15
