UNIMAID Transfer Forms 2025/2026: Fees and How to Apply (Inter-University and Inter-Departmental)

The University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) has started selling forms for inter-university and inter-departmental transfers for the 2025/2026 academic session.

This update came from a circular signed out by the Office of the Registrar on Wednesday, 31 December 2025. The circular says the transfer exercise is open to interested staff and students who want either type of transfer.

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:

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:

  1. present proof of payment at the Bursary Department
  2. 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.
