The Step by Step Guide to Unilag Postgraduate Registration/Verification Process 2016/2017

 After I posted the 2016 admission list here, we got lot of calls  on where to go or what to do first.

 Many are still overwhelmed even as some departments admission list is still not being uploaded. This is really an embarrassment for the management of the Postgraduate studies. Something must be done fast about this.

 To avoid people been confused and feeling frustrated, let me prepare your mind and legs for the journey you are about to embark on.

 Its will be filled with fun and jerks, you will make many friends and meet your classmates for the first time.  it will be like the old Jamb period re-enactment.

 Just enjoy the process, because trust me many people will get on your nerves.
 you will be moving from one desk to the other carrying white papers for signing as if you are begging for food to eat.

 Meanwhile, lectures might be going on in your department.

 So in this post I listed the step by step guide or call it TABLE BY TABLE GUIDE to Unilag Pg registration exercise and signing.

I expect you to have downloaded your admission letter and your payment advise

If you're ready, lets dive in.

I will be giving out updates as they come in.

  Step by Step guide to Registration & their Venues

STEP 1. Make copies and print all of your documents listed in my post here.

STEP 2. Pay your N5k for Pg prospectus at the PG school near education then collect receipt which is requirement #9

 Venue: Pg school Room 5

STEP 3. Go to the department to fill your required courses for the session. the department will give you the courses you need to fill.  Don't worry if you make a mistake or if you don't really know which elective to take or not, just fill all, later on as the semester progress you will be asked to delete any course you dont want or fill the course you want

 Venue: Your various depts

STEP 4. Signed your portion of the course forms and biodata forms. There are 4 places for four signatories
 a. Yourself
 b. Bursary
 c. Dept
 d. Pg school

Venue: In your room (lol)

STEP 5. Go to Bursary with your forms especially 1-4 and 8.

Venue: The bursary is located under the library or before you climb the stairs leading to the Main library besides the Main auditorium  at Akoka campus.

 (Here they might ask you for settlement as in lets wash the admission before they sign. Don't give them anything, just smile and tell them there is recession)

STEP 6. Go to the department and ask the HOD to sign your course form. This is where most forms are normally delayed.  You may have to leave the forms with the secretary and come back for it the next day as, the HOD may be forming busy and wont attend to you.

 (frustration point #1)

 Venue: your various department

 (Those whose depts are in  Idiraba, will move to and fro like the CBN forex policy this season)

 After successfully crossing this hurdle go to the next step

STEP 7. Go to PG school for your signing, here they will require all documents, original and all.

 Your originals will be sighted and returned to you, please take it back and keep. The official will keep a copy of your document

 (frustration point #2).

 Here there are usually long queues and the staffs are sometimes lazy and closes before time.

 Venue: Multi-purpose Hall C beside Pg school.

 By this time all 4 signatories must have signed and stamped. Go to the next and final step

STEP 8. Go back to the department and submit a copy, and keep one for your self.
 usually its only three copies that are required. but followed the rules and make four.

 NOTE: 

 Duration for all these will probably take Minimum of Three hours and for some Three days, others Three weeks Max.  But trust me, its stressful and filled with enough egoism and attitude from both departmental and Postgrad staffs.

 Get ready for drama.

 After you get through this, dust yourself up and congratulate yourself as you officially became a full fledged student of The University of Lagos (UNILAG) - The school of first choice.
