What should I do if I paid, 24 banking hours have elapsed, and still I cannot proceed to the next step?
This maybe because while paying the application fee, the bank teller or agent did not capture your correct Reference Number, or we have not received your payment confirmation from the bank you paid at. In that case,
kindly scan and
send (requires login) a clear copy of the payment bank slip for confirmation, or contact the Finance Office to determine the cause of such delay for payment confirmation.
First, check whether you had created an account and that you are entering the correct email address.
If the email address is correct and still cannot login, try resetting the password.
If you are unable to reset your password, try resetting your account. But this works if and only if you had not been given a reference number.
If you exhaust those options, kindly contact the Office of Student Admission and Recruitment to reset your password.
Selection is usually done in batches; the first one being around July, subsequently after every two to three weeks upto mid August.
Once selection for your programme is completed, you will be notified through the portal, email, SMS, or voice call.
How should I know the programme I qualify for?
For you to qualify for a programme, you MUST first meet the minimum academic qualifications, then at the time of consideration the capacity required should have not been exceeded.
Sometimes you may meet the minimum requirements but fail to be considered because the class number required is already reached.
Can I defer my studies?
Yes. But your deferment can ONLY be granted if you had been ADMITTED for the programme you applied and qualified for.
Can I apply using an application form other than online?
Are there Certificate Courses?
What should I do if I paid before getting a Reference Number?
In such a case, kindly create an account and obtain a Reference Number then scan and
send (requires login) a clear copy of the bank slip or physically visit the Finance Department with the original bank slip.
No. In every application cycle, new Reference Numbers are generated even if you applied for a programme the previous cycle. You should always first check for your new Reference Number before paying when applying for a programme in subsquent intake cycles.
