FULOKOJA Intra-University Transfer Guidelines

The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, but sometimes, the destination might change along the way. Changing your course or faculty might seem like a daunting task, but the Federal University Lokoja (FULOKOJA) has established guidelines to facilitate a smooth intra-university transfer process. This post aims to guide students through this process, ensuring they understand what it entails and how to proceed with their desired change.

Understanding Intra-University Transfer

An intra-university transfer implies a change from one department or faculty to another within the same institution. This action requires certain conditions to be met before it can be implemented, and at FULOKOJA, these have been codified into clear guidelines by the University’s management.

The Eligibility Criteria for Intra-University Transfer

The ability to apply for a transfer is dependent on the satisfaction of the following conditions:

1. Current Student Status: Applicants must be registered undergraduate students of FULOKOJA.
2. Academic Progress: They should have spent a minimum of one academic session at the University, with evidence of their transcript/result.
3. Academic Performance: A minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 1.0 is required.
4. Admission Requirements: Aspirants must meet the basic requirements for admission into their intended programme (either UTME or Direct Entry). The specific requirements can be found on the University’s website.
5. Eligibility Confirmation: Visit the Admissions Division to ascertain your eligibility and obtain the Intra-University Transfer Form.

The Transfer Application Process

The journey to a successful transfer is outlined below:

1. Application Availability: The application forms will be available at least one month before the end of each session.
2. Senate Consideration: Applications will be evaluated by the Senate through the Central Admissions Committee after the release of the 2nd semester results.
