FUNAAB Releases Inter-University Transfer Requirements For Prospective Students
The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), is offering a new opportunity for students from other universities to transfer into its academic programs.
If you’re looking to continue your education at this esteemed institution, now’s the time to explore what it takes to make the transition.
Eligibility for FUNAAB Inter-University Transfers
FUNAAB is opening its doors to students currently enrolled in recognized Nigerian universities. However, eligibility is contingent on one crucial factor: your admission must have been approved by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
If this applies to you, you can now apply to transfer into FUNAAB and become part of its thriving academic community.
Academic Requirements for Transfers
To be considered for an inter-university transfer, you’ll need to meet specific academic standards. If you’re pursuing an agricultural program, your Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) must be at least 3.00 on a 5.00-point grading scale.
On the other hand, students transferring into engineering or science programs are required to hold a minimum CGPA of 3.50 on the same grading scale.
These grades must reflect your academic performance up to the second semester of the current academic session, ensuring that you meet the university’s expectations for excellence.
Submitting Academic Transcripts
One essential part of the process is submitting your academic transcripts to FUNAAB’s Registrar. Your transcript acts as official proof of your academic performance and helps the university properly assess your transfer request. Without it, your application won’t move forward, so ensure this step is completed promptly.
Application Process and Fees
The next step is completing the inter-university transfer form, which is available on the FUNAAB Admissions Portal. This form is essential for beginning the official process of your transfer. However, note that the application carries a non-refundable fee of ₦20,000, which includes REMITA charges.
It’s important to carefully review all the instructions on the portal before filling out the form to avoid any mistakes.
When logging into the portal, you’ll need your JAMB registration number from your original admission letter. Once you have completed the form online, it’s time to print it out.
Completing Your Application
After printing your completed form, it must be submitted to the Senate and Admissions Unit at FUNAAB.
This is a vital step, as the physical submission of your form triggers the official evaluation of your application. Don’t overlook this, as it ensures your transfer request moves forward.
Key Points to Remember
- Eligible students must be enrolled in recognized Nigerian universities with JAMB-approved admissions.
- A minimum CGPA of 3.00 is required for agricultural programs, while engineering and science programs require at least a 3.50 CGPA.
