How to apply for the BUK part-time degree form

BUK shared a step-by-step process that includes JAMB and the university portal.

Start here:

Step 1 (JAMB platform)

The applicant should use the JAMB online application platform for UTME/part-time degree, select BUK, fill the form, then pay a non-refundable ₦3,500 into the JAMB account.

Step 2 (BUK portal)

After that, the applicant should visit:

Then click PART-TIME APPLICATION FORM on the homepage and log in with programme selected and gender.

Step 3

The applicant creates an account on the portal. The portal provides a username and password.

Step 4

After logging in, the applicant fills all required sections on the application portal.

Step 5 (invoice and bank payment)

The applicant generates a personalised invoice, prints it, and takes it to any bank to pay a processing fee of ₦5,000. The applicant should read the payment procedure on the payment procedure page.

Step 6

The applicant reviews the form to confirm all details are correct. Names and dates, check them twice. People miss that.

Step 7

The applicant enters the JAMB number before printing the acknowledgement slip.

Step 8

After completion, the applicant generates the acknowledgement slip, prints it, and keeps it safe. The slip will be needed when collecting the admission letter and during registration.

No rushing. But don’t drag it too long either.
