Is there anyway one can send his transcript without going to the school?
Pls am putin in for chemistry science wat are the posible subjects I wil do. And are they the topics we did for undergraduate Or secondary sch topics
@theophilus, send it through fast courier, address it to the secretary of the postgraduate school. But i think it is better to take it to th P.G school your self by hand, your can avoid any error.
i dont think university of ilorin does any masters degree programme called chemistry science. Do you mean masters in science education (chemistry option) or MSc in the department of Chemistry?
pls can a batch c corp member whose discharge will b ready by October apply
i would advice you not to apply for UNILORIN postgraduate programme. If you were batch B, then you could. Registration for the new postgraduate session should have begun by october.
i want to apply but my school is on strike action. i've applied for the transcript, but i"m not sure the can be ready before we write the exam. Do you think i can still proceed with the purchasing of the form?
Plz i was told that there is a possibility of signing undertaken if the school that should send the transcript is on strike. Is this true?
about unilorin postgraduate admission, it depends on if you can take the risk. I'll advice you to visit the HOD of the department you want to apply into and explain to him/her. Note that you would not be granted admission without your academic transcript, it very important.
How definite is the date of the qualifying exam? Is it for sure that its 5th July…or would those who applied get notified?

When will d results be out?
Well done sevantex. Did they give any specific time for receiving the mails. But we hope this their mail will come in latest by next week so that one may know how to run before the deadline if the documents have not reached the school.
Did some people actually post their documents. On the saturday of the exam many people used tht opportunity to submit it, and we had to sign on a sheet. They didnt even attend to us on time. I asked one of the pgschool officials if another person cud submit on my behalf and they said no. So I really dont understand hw some folks wud get by with posting their docs.
From the adverts..,july31 is the deadline for receiving transcripts and documents..,Some ppl actuali sent all their documents tru post which altho isn't a smart move considering u. Cnt control its arrival..,is still a way of sending documents..,The problem is the slow rate of sorting goin on at the pgschl cos I expect that by nw.,some ppl shuld start seeing "Transcripts nd Refs form received" on their portals..This is probabli due to the no of applicants sha..,All we can do now is keep CHECKING our portals.,CALL ur schls to be sure urtranscripts have been sent..,At least,most of us submitted our docs nd refs. Form by hand last week so no fear on that front..,We will be successful by Gods grace..amen!..|sevantex|
Alright Sevantex, Once we start receiving the confirmation mails let's try to update this thread so as to keep ourselves on alert. One love.
@Boma, Yeah U may be right but even at that there was nothing wrong with posting the documents. The signing was just a formality and to lay claim that Ur documents were submitted in case there is mix up.
Success all the way. One love
