Document requirements by entry type

100 Level (100L)

  • WAEC, NECO or NABTEB result
  • A-Level result (also accepted)

O'Level results may be combined if one sitting has issues.

200 Level (Direct Entry)

  • O'Level result (Maths and English plus 3 related credits)
  • Certificate — A'Level, IJMB, JUPEB, ND, NCE or professional equivalent

Direct Entry candidates must still meet the O'Level requirements for the programme, and the qualification must be related to the chosen course.

200 Level (Inter-University Transfer)

  • O'Level result (Maths, English plus 3 related credits)
  • Official 100L transcript
  • CGPA of at least 2.40/5.0 (1.90/4.0)

Conditional admission may be granted on a student copy of the transcript; the official transcript must follow. Nursing transfers also need a nursing certificate and the previous school must run an accredited nursing programme.

300 Level (Direct Entry)

  • O'Level result (Maths, English plus 3 related credits)
  • HND or degree certificate

HND upper/lower credit or third class may be considered; the programme must be completed. A statement of result earns conditional admission pending the certificate. No 300L Nursing.

Postgraduate

  • First degree or HND certificate
  • Academic transcript (or CV where the class of degree allows)
  • PGD certificate for HND lower credit, third class or pass degrees
  • O'Level result — 2 credits for MBA/MPA, 3 for MSc programmes, 5 for MIT; none for DBA

Where a CV is provided no reference letter is needed. A missing transcript earns conditional admission for six months. O'Level is waived where there is sufficient work experience.

Accepted documents

  • Original WAEC / NECO / NABTEB result slip or certificate, fully legible
  • A-Level result statement showing subjects and grades
  • ND, NCE, HND or degree certificate matching the applicant name
  • Complete official transcript covering the levels being transferred

Unacceptable documents

  • Personal photographs, selfies or ID cards uploaded in place of a result
  • Blurred, cropped or partially visible scans where grades cannot be read
  • Workshop, training or attendance certificates instead of academic results
  • Results belonging to a different candidate (name mismatch)

Programme requirements

Decision logic

  • Pass — readable result, name matches, credits met, required subjects present, confidence ≥ 70%.
  • Flag — identity mismatch, unsupported/unreadable file, wrong document type, missing credits or subjects.
  • Review — checks pass but extraction confidence is low, so an advisor confirms manually.

Credit grades: A1, B2, B3, C4, C5, C6. D7, E8 and F9 never count.
