UNILAG Part-Time Requirements

To be eligible for UNILAG’s part-time programs, applicants must meet certain academic and non-academic requirements. These requirements are specific to each program, but the general guidelines are as follows:

1. O’Level Requirements

  • Candidates must have a minimum of 5 credits in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings.
  • Some programs, such as Accounting and Science Education, may have additional subject requirements like credits in Economics, Physics, or Chemistry.

2. Age Requirement

  • Candidates applying for part-time programs must be at least 21 years old. This age limit ensures that applicants have gained some work or life experience, which aligns with the objectives of part-time education.

3. Work Experience (For Certain Programs)

  • Some part-time programs, particularly in business and management fields, may require applicants to have relevant work experience. This is particularly important for those applying to programs like Public Administration and Business Administration.

Mode of Application

All applications for part-time programs are done online via the UNILAG portal. Candidates are required to fill out the application form, upload their credentials, and pay the application fee.

After completing the online registration, candidates are expected to participate in a screening exercise, where their academic records and qualifications will be verified.

Duration of the Programs

Part-time programs typically last between 4 to 6 years, depending on the course and entry level. For instance, direct-entry students with relevant diplomas may complete their programs in a shorter period.

Unilag DLI GENERAL Registration Requirements

Other required documents include:

  • Affidavits, birth certificates (as testimonials, not statements of results), and certificates for qualifications like ICAN, OND, HND, or NCE.
  • Additional documents may include NYSC discharge certificates, marriage certificates (for married women), and newspaper publications for married individuals or those with a name change.
  • Please note that, as of this year, the Distance Learning Institute (DLI) does not accept NABTEB.

For Direct Entry Candidates

  • Do you possess the ICAN, NCE, OND, and HND certifications? Be aware that you are already two or three steps ahead of others since you can start at level 300 with your ICAN, start at level 200 or 300 with your NCE, depending on the course, and start at level 300 with your HND. OND holders are likely to start at level 200.
  • It should be noted that your planned course of study at DLI Unilag must be relevant to what you read for your NCE, OND, and HND levels. For example, if someone read library studies and applied for DLI DE Public Administration, it is a completely incorrect combination.

It is now mandatory for all students applying to the Distance Learning Part-Time program to include their JAMB registration number as part of their application. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disqualification from admission.

In addition, applicants for the Distance Learning Institute (DLI) programs must follow the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) guidelines by visiting an accredited JAMB center to verify and submit the required documents via the DLI website.

After identifying your desired UNILAG part-time course, below is what you should look out for:

Ensure you meet the minimum of 5 O’Level credits (including English and Maths) and are at least 21 years old. For postgraduate courses, a relevant degree and work experience may be required.

Register through JAMB (no exam required) to get a registration number, mandatory for part-time applicants. Also gather O’Level results, birth certificates, diplomas (OND, HND, etc.), and other necessary documents.

Moreover, visit UNILAG’s website, complete the application, upload documents, and pay the application fee. Attend document verification or screening if required. Track your admission status on the UNILAG portal and accept the offer, pay fees, and complete registration.

In light of this, it is essential to finish your registration through a trustworthy and approved source to guarantee an effortless process.
