2013/2014 Unilag Jambites/DIrect Entry Clearance And Registration; Share Your Experience

As an English candidate, I was billed for Monday but I was unable to register. I left the school Past 4pm trying to get ‘all’ needed documents in readiness for my next schedule. One things I’m sure of is that many people were unable to register cause they were unaware of the needed document. Someone like me had the needed documents but I had to buy two Jamb e-facilities scratch which should be N1,000 for an inflated price of N1,500 to reprint my ‘coloured’ Jamb Admission letter and result cause the ones I av are in black and white… A big shoutout to Mr. Timothy, I owe this blog a lot

@Jeff.. They told me to cum bck on d nxt scheduled date oo! Daht time was alwedi far spent.. Looked for u tew, guess u had alwedi gone home… Hope to c yhu soon dou..
Have u done ur departmental reg.?

As for me, I just finished the first step yesterday, next is bio metric reg which i will continue next week. The steps to a successful first step are listed below:
1. Punctuality- be there before 8 am. I got there 7 am and still finished 2 pm.
2. All the documents required must be available (original and 4 photocopies) starting with:
a. UTME result slip, post UTME result slip and direct entry slip. You must have a coloured copy. (For DE, your OND or NCE or A-LEVEL).
b. SSCE certificate or statement of result and computer printout signed and stamped by principal.
c. Testimonial d. Birth certificate.
d. Reference letter signed and stamped.
e. State of origin certificate.
f. Admission letter (for institution) must be coloured.
g. Screened form (4 COLOURED copies)
NOTE: You must be 16 and must have F/MATHS(for engineering), those two things prevented two different students from registering yesterday.

My only advice to y’all is thA you come a-day before your screening..and don’t listen to anyone’s words outside the screening gate!

to fill ur IT data capture form, go to unilags website. http://www.unilag.edu.ng , the section under ‘student login’, ull c new student login or sth. please mr Tim.help me spread the word

@Jeff, hp u c dis..; plzzz r u cumin tumao for ur dept.reg. N biodata??

Pls wat can I do…I don’t further maths nd I am going 4 met nd mat engin…pls I need ur reply urgently

Oh well. I went for my registration last Thursday 21/11/13. I got there by 9am actually. Students were advised to sit according to their faculties and they were selected according to their departments. I was sitted all through the screening process until 5pm only to be told by the officials that we should come back the next time our course was scheduled. The next scheduled date for my course- Architecture is on Wednesday, 27th of November. Below are some of my experience I’d like to share and how to make amendments when I come back on Wednesday. It’s quite frustrating but to avoid these mistakes I’ve made, I’d advise you to READ THIS PIECE TO THE END.

REASONS I WASN’T REGISTERED:
1) I came late. I’m not gonna deny it. I also sat at the back roll. I could barely understand what was going on in front : (
2) Since students were selected by their departments, Architecture was called only twice throughout the whole exercise that day and I didn’t get a chance to be among those two batches. I also noticed law students were the most called/ selected.
3) A lot of time was wasted on selected students during their registration because their documents were either not arranged properly, missing, or not genuine. So screening that was supposed to take 5 minutes took about 15 minutes. Hereby, not giving room for other students to get registered that day.
4) I believed the official were somewhat disorganized too.

HOW TO GET REGISTERED ON TIME.
1) Get all GENUINE documents in the right order and quantity.
2) BE PUNCTUAL; I mean…Get there before 7am. Try as much as possible to make it to the VERY FIRST ROLL and SIT WITH STUDENTS IN YOUR DEPARTMENT
3) Dress DECENT: I witnessed a female Systems Engineering student sent home because of indecent dressing.
4) BROADCAST your DEPARTMENT and Faculty : Though not the most effective way to get registered on time, Make them know that you (Department’s name) students know what you want. It helps once in a while. Scream out loud or chant your department with all of your course mates as a group There’s 60% chance students from your department would be noticed and called next.
5) Be ATTENTIVE and Observant: Leave all the chit chat with your course mates for later or simply minimize it so you can hear the department being called next. That’s why I advised you should sit in the front roll if possible.
6) ASK fellow students QUESTIONS if you’re confused or unsure of your document arrangement.
7) HELP other students get their documents on the right order, so their registration process would be as fast as possible.
7) BE CONFIDENT: When you are finally selected in for registration, be confident and polite.

You would ask me — “HOW YOU TAKE KNOW?”
1) God
2) Experience is the best teacher
3) I’m a very observant person.
4) I like learning from my mistake
5) I enjoy solving day to day problems.
6) Common sense

Thanks to Mr. timothy for giving me this opportunity. God bless you.

/*An update on the registration procedure after you’ve been screened*/

For people who registered after Thursday last week and after, you’ll notice no IT “data capturing form” was given to you, this is cause all biometrics/thumbprint registration blah blah blah is now done online on unilag’s website. You only need to print “A New Screening Form” and a “Bio Data Page” that will be used throughout your Library Registration, Faculty and Departmental registration and all other subsequent registrations.

1) After you’ve been screened successfully at your designated hall. You’ll have to wait for at most two days for the website to be updated with your details then you can “Update” your biodata, “Print your Payment advice”, and “Print your payment receipt”.

2) After you’ve completed the procedure above and exercised some patience for the allotted time. Go to this link http://studentportal.unilag.edu.ng

3) Click the “Continue” link at the extreme right of the page and login. Your Jamb Registration number is your Matric. Number for now, Your Password is your surname in small letters.

4) Click the “Upload Passport Photograph” button on the page that appears, and don’t panic if you didn’t see your passport photograph in the space for it, this is why you’re uploading it. You can either scan your passport from a printer or you take a reasonable picture of it with a camera ( 8.0 mp and above recommended) in .jpeg or .png format then upload it and have the page refreshed to see the changes. If you don’t like the output, you can edit the picture and perform the steps above again.

5) After you’ve completed the step above, click the “Update Biodata” button and edit the, and fill in your details and then PRINT//in colour.

6) Click the “Download Screening Form” button on the same page and PRINT that page also//in colour. P.S You’ll notice the page has your “Jamb Passport” on it and also a scanned picture of the passport that was used during your screening, this is what your “thumb print” would have been used to fetch but instead your jamb registration number was used during your login which already has your thumb print and your screening form was submitted after you had been screened so its all interwoven now.

Make sure you’re quick about whatever you want to do on this pages as the page refreshes and requests your login details after about 15mins.

7) Finally, the printed forms above will be used during the aforementioned subsequent registrations and any other required registration.

NOTE: You can pay your school fees now. Contact the banks in Unilag for the account number. Ecobank started accepting the fees first so for Ecobank, the A/C No is: 1962000191 and The A/C Name: Unilag. If your payment has been acknowledged by the “School Bursary Department” so you must take your teller to the bursary department for stamping and stuff, you can then print/* in colour */ your “Payment Advice” and “Payment Receipt” from the student portal page .

If you haven’t paid yet, when you click on the “Payment Receipt” button on that page, you’ll see the “outstanding” text at the bottom of the table you see on that page. So you don’t want to print it yet until you’ve paid, cause it’d be pointless printing a page saying something which means you haven’t paid your fees.

As for Faculty/Departmental registration, visit your Faculty’s notice board for the time-table/registration schedule allotted to your course of study/department and take some money with you, at least N18,000, I guess this amount covers your faculty dues and all other “senrenre’.

Visit the school library around the Senate building with your “Bio-Data Page/Form” you printed earlier for your library registration which costs just N200 and go through the notices on the library’s main entrance.

Have a splendid registration experience.
