- Candidates using O‟ Level results from two sittings for clearance should have at
least two consistent names on both results one of which MUST BE THE
SURNAME. - The actual date of Birth must be consistent in all documents presented by
candidates. - The admitting surname of candidates MUST NOT be at variance with the surname
on O‟ Level results EXCEPT in cases of marriage in which case the candidate will
be expected to produce marriage certificate, sworn affidavit and newspaper
publication indicating the change of name. - Passports on results should clearly identify the candidate. Results with blurred or
defaced passports will not be acceptable. - Candidate admitted by direct entry must produce transcript which MUST be sent
directly to the Registrar of the University of Benin by the candidate’s institution. - Deferment of full time programme is only for one academic session. The candidate
will apply to UAB after being cleared and having paid the school fees. Deferment is
approved by the UAB only during the approved clearance period for the session.
Failure of the candidate to resume school after the approved one academic session
would lead to forfeiture of admission.- Students requesting for deferment do not go to their Faculties for registration,
nor attend lectures or participate in examinations. - Deferment is not for candidates with poor academic performance at 100 level.
- Students requesting for deferment do not go to their Faculties for registration,
- NUC approved admission of only 20% of some full time
programmes for part-time courses. The admission requirements for the approved
courses are to be similar to their full time equivalents. These supersede previously
approved admission requirements and guidelines for part time programmes
contained in the former brochure.
