Some people call it "transfer season". It's basically that, just with strict steps.
Who the transfer exercise covers
The circular states that the process is open to:
- staff and students who want an inter-university transfer
- staff and students who want an inter-departmental transfer
So it's not limited to one group. If a person plans to move from one department to another or move from another university into UNIMAID, this is the route.
How payment and form collection works
UNIMAID requires all applicants to pay a non-refundable fee. Payment goes through the university's Remita account and applicants access it on the official UNIMAID portal.
After payment, applicants must:
- present proof of payment at the Bursary Department
- then move on to download the transfer form from the UNIMAID ICT Centre
That order matters. Pay first. Show proof at Bursary. Then collect the form from ICT. Simple, but don't mix it up.
