In this post, I will be focusing on the UNN Change of Course Procedure. You will learn how you can successfully switch to a department at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
I am very much aware that some of you got a different course to study in the supplementary list.
Right now, you are eager to know if it is possible to change to your dream course after your first year.
Well, the answer is a big YES. You can switch to another department after your first year.
Well, first of all here is what you need to do before you purchase the UNN change of degree programme transfer form.
Research your current course to see if you can develop an interest in it.
Another option would be to follow the change of course road. It is the purpose of this article.
On a personal note, I always tell people to study a course they have an interest in.
Studying at UNN is stressful.
It is a worse experience for those who are studying courses with zero passion.
Change of Course in UNN
Change of course is 100% possible in UNN.
For example, you can change from Anatomy to Medicine after your first year.
Offer the same course as students with the department you want to change to after your first year.
Let’s say that you want to switch from Physiology to Medical Laboratory Science.
Physiology students do not offer MTH 111 in the first semester.
It then means that you will have to take MTH 111 to be eligible to change to MLS.
It is why many students from Biological Science offer BIO 101 in the first semester.
It is because they have the intention to change to a department in the College of Medicine.
Buying UNN Change of Course Form
Here are the criteria to change to another department in UNN.
First thing first, you will have to buy the change of course form.
It is about seventy-five thousand Naira or thereabout.
Purchasing the form is like buying a JAMB form. It does not guarantee that you will be successful with the application process.
The next step would be to ensure that you get a high CGPA of about 4.9 in your first year. It will increase your chances of getting the course that you want.
Not everybody who changes course does have a high CGPA. It is possible through connection and…
To go about this process, make enquiries from a direct source.
For example, your parents can meet with the HOD of the department you want to change to get the authentic information.
Generally, it is hard to switch to Nursing Sciences due to some reasons.
Let me know in the comment box below if you have any questions about the UNN change of degree programme.
I would love to hear from you.

If there is an available slot, you would continue in the second year.

Please i want to know if it is possible to change from microbiology to pharmcy without borrowing gs 111 because i heard you can do it in second year after successful changing how true is that?

There is usually mild restrictions on GSP courses.
So, it could be possible for you to take the course after a successful change of course.
Go to the Faculty of Pharmacy.
Ask to see the Associate Dean to make your confirmations.
Also, if your credit load can accommodate GSP 111. Then, it is advisable to take the course in your first year.
I will like to change to medicine after my first year, do I have to borrow some of the medicine course in my first year or after first year
It depends on your current department.

The list may not be out before the matriculation ceremony.
But, the list should be out by October before the start of the first-semester exam.
Pls sir can I change from microbiology to nutrition and dietetics
Which course should I borrow
Yes, Andra.
You can change from Microbiology to Nutrition and Dietetics.
Not sure about the extra courses you must take.
Go to the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics to get the information.
Also, you should speak with the first-year Class Rep of Nutrition and Dietectis.
How about changing from political science to law
Very possible, C M.
You can change from Political Science to Law.
Please Sir I changed from Nutrition and Dietetics to Nursing Science and till now the department haven’t brought out any list. Please my question is, will they still release names for change of degree student before matriculation? Or there won’t be any admission this session for nursing department.
Do you mean that you did the change of course for the last session?
Your best bet will be for you to meet with the HOD of Nursing Science at UNEC.
Hi. I also changed from Nutrition and dietetics to Nursing. The HOD nursing said that the list had not been sent to them. Can I have your no?
Sir please can I change from human anatomy or human physiology to nursing in UNN
But I don’t know the one that is better
Dear Peace,
I’ll recommend you choose Human Physiology.
Hello, I would like to change from medical laboratory science to medicine. Please what course do I need to borrow, and what other requirements do I need?
James,
You would only need to borrow Medical Parasitology (ZEB) in your second semester.
For other requirements, meet with the Dean of Medicine at Ituku-Ozalla.
Please when will the change of course form for session 2020/2021 be out??
I cannot say for sure. It should be probably around the second semester.
You have to keep up to date with the information on the University website.
Hello Blessing.
1. Should I register my departments courses now or should I wait for the change of degree list before doing that?
2. Should I submit my clearance files for my first year in my current department while expecting for a change in degree?
I’m in 200lvl now
1. You can go ahead to register for your department courses plus the additional courses you need to register.
Though, you may pay 10k to change your courses at the ICT after a successful change of course.
2. Your department will notify you when to take your files to your new department.
Thank you Blessing.
I saw your reply to someone’s comment about her files being moved to her new department. Is it necessary for them to move the files because I’m waiting for the change of degree list too?
Also, will I have to do clearance again? Because I remember I still had to do clearance again in the new department I was transferred to during the lockdown.
Esther,
Your current department will notify you through the Secretary or your Class Rep when it is time to move your files.
You will be asked to go to your Department office for clarification on how to facilitate the moving of your files to your new department.
Right now, you should continue checking your school portal for changes or visit the department you want to change to, to know if the list is out.
You will not do another clearance in your new department but will have to go to the ICT to change your course registration to your new departmental courses.
Thank you Blessing. I finally got the course I wanted ☺️.
I have a question regarding the change reflecting on my jamb portal.
It didn’t and I wanted to know what I would do to make my new department show on jamb as my course.
What would you advise me to do?
Hello, Esther,
It’s nice to hear from you again.
Congratulations on your successful change of department.
What you have to do now is called JAMB regularization.
You will go to the JAMB office to get the form which is about 7k.
Afterwhich you will be given a document to submit to the school registral to sign at Nsukka.
That’s it.
What course did you study or studying
Please is it possible to change course from microbiology to dentistry ? And what coures do I need to borrow? Also what are my chances of been accepted into the department?
Yes, Chibest,
It is possible to change from Microbiology to Dentistry.
Please sir can I change from microbiology to Dentistry and what course do I need to borrow? Also I want to know my chances of been successful in the changing process if it’s possible
You will need to borrow BIO 101 for the first semester and Parasitology for the second semester.
To know your chances, meet with the Dean of Dentistry at Ituku-Ozalla to make enquiries.
I wish you the best.
I have three questions
Can a direct entry student change to Nursing after being admitted to another course?
Also, i heard its easier to change to medicine than to nursing, how true is that?
Have the second year medical students resumed lectures for the session?
Yes, Peace. Second-year students have resumed lectures for the session.
True, it is easier to change to Medicine than to Nursing.
For your first question. You cannot outrightly change to Nursing after being admitted to another course.
You will have to step down to take 100 Level Nursing courses.
So is it 100% impossible to change from microbiology to nursing??
No, Divine
You will have to meet with the HOD of Nursing Science at UNEC to ask if the department will accept students for the session.
Good afternoon,sir.
Can I change from Combined Arts to Arts Education?
Good day, Innocent
Yes, you can change from Combined Arts to Arts Education if you have the relevant O’Level requirements.
As a biochemistry student that want to change to pharmacy, and I did not borrow any course. If my change of dept./ Course becomes successful, do I need to start from 2nd yr and do those courses or I will step down to yr 1.
You will step down to first-year to offer those courses.
Sir can I change from home science to medicine/pharmacy since nursing is hard
Yes, Naoma.
You can change to Medicine or Pharmacy.
Can i switch from human physiology to mbbs after my year1
Yes, Godspower
You can switch from Human Physiology to Medicine after first year.
Please where is ituku ozalla in UNN ?
Ituku-Ozalla is at UNTH (new site).
It is the location of the Faculty of Dentistry.
UNTH stands for University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital.
How can I know if i have been successfully admitted into a new department after buying the change of degree form?
Do they usually release a list?
Yes, Jennifer, there is a list for a successful change of course students.
The changes to your new department would reflect on your UNN student portal.
Also, you will get a notification from your former department to move your files, etc.
Thank you. But is there a way to check the list?
And also is the change of degree list for this session out?
Change of degree for this session is not yet out.
The form should be available by November.
Concerning how to know that your change of department is successful.
The changes will reflect in your school portal.
Also, you will get a notification from your current department.
The best approach is to check with the department you want to change to from time to time.
Okay.
But is that change of degree list for nursing and medicine out? This is for those that bought the form
If its not out, can you please inform me when its out?
Thanks
Can I change course from human kinetics and health education to nutrition and dietetics
Please am I to borrow any course in my first year. Thank you
Yes, Blessing.
You can change from Human Kinetics to Nutrition and Dietetics.
I advise that you speak with the first-year Class Rep of Nutrition to know if you need to borrow an extra course.
1st question: You said,”it is hard to switch to Nursing Sciences due to some reasons.”
What are they please
2nd question: I thought the form costs #10,000, how come #75,000?
3rd question: If I get a very high CGP, (like 4.5) is it a guarantee that it would be successful?
Well, Ambrose
UNN Nursing department accepts a lot of School of Nursing graduates via direct entry. There is usually no more space to accept students to the department.
The change of course form was #75k for the last session.
Having a high CGPA is not a guarantee for change of course.
Then is there something that guarantees change of course other than a high CGPA
There is nothing that guarantees a change of course in UNN.
Not even a perfect CGPA is a guarantee.
Go to the department that you want to change to and ask for the requirements.
Pls can I change from home science to computer science.
Yes, Durah.
You can change from home science to computer science.
I believe both departments are in the Faculty of Physical science.
Ensure that you have the O’Level requirements for Computer science
Can I change courses between faculty or just departments
Yes, Ruth
You can change from a Faculty to another Faculty.
For example, you change from Mass Communication to the Faculty of Law.
