Postgraduate Transcripts Application

POSTGRADUATE TRANSCRIPTS APPLICATION GUIDELINES

The steps to be followed by a postgraduate alumnus/alumna or student to apply for postgraduate transcripts are outlined below:

• Please note that academic transcripts are not sent to individuals but recognised tertiary institutions.
• If a transcript applicant wants his/her transcript to be sent to a non-academic institution or corporate organisation like a credentials-assessing agency, an NGO, an MDA, etc, he/she would have to request the organisation to write on his/her behalf to the “The Secretary, School of Postgraduate Studies…” in its letterhead and such letter must be duly signed by the appropriate Officer.
• Approved transcript processing fee for local destinations is ₦10,000, while for international destinations is ₦30,000 (for Zones 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) and ₦50,000 (Zones 6, 7, 8). Please see ‘Start Application‘ to view the list of countries against each zone.
• Alumni seeking admission into any postgraduate programme within the University are NOT required to pay for transcript. They are to proceed and make their application without payment. Note that the University Management will not entertain any request for a refund after payment is made in error!
• Payment is only to be made via the Remita platform at remita.net  as follows:
