2) Matriculation numbers
Prospective students should note that matriculation numbers will soon be allocated to those who have paid the acceptance fee. The numbers will enable students to pay school fees and complete registration as FUNATO students; once the allocation begins, each candidate can move to the next Step.
3) Hostel accommodation
FUNATO says it has taken steps to provide hostel accommodation for students through a public and private partnership arrangement.
The university will provide hostel spaces within communities around the university for a substantial number of students. FUNATO also states that the hostels will be available at reasonable rent rates, with university regulation and security in place.
The modalities for application and allocation will be announced soon; students should keep an eye on official updates.
4) Ongoing admission exercise
FUNATO notes that candidates still interested in its programmes have an opening to apply, as the JAMB portal remains open for a change of university choice. After that change, candidates can proceed to the university website to register for online screening.
Candidates should confirm they meet the advertised criteria for their chosen course; the programme choice must match the stated requirements.
Message to prospective students
The Vice-Chancellor and Senate have congratulated prospective FUNATO students and wished them a “smooth and happy resumption”.
