Applying for an undergraduate inter-faculty transfer at Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma requires an enrolled student to obtain the official Inter-Faculty Transfer Application Form from the Academic Affairs Registry, verify that their Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) meets the minimum benchmark of 2.50 to 3.00 on a 5-point scale, secure the formal endorsement of their current Head of Department and Dean, obtain acceptance from the receiving Head of Department and Dean, generate an RRR code on Remita to pay the prescribed transfer processing fee, and submit the completed dossier to the University Senate Committee on Academic Matters for ratification. Under AAU academic regulations, undergraduate students who wish to change their field of study or who are advised to withdraw from specialized faculties due to academic reasons may seek transfer into an alternative faculty where their entry qualifications satisfy departmental prerequisites.
Completing the official inter-faculty transfer procedure ensures that your academic records are properly transferred and updated on the institutional portal.
- Collect your official semester broadsheet result printout from your departmental examination officer to confirm your current CGPA.
- Consult the university admission brochure to verify that your original UTME subject combination and O-Level credits satisfy the requirements of the receiving department.
- Visit the Academic Affairs Division at the Senate Building, Ekpoma to purchase the official Inter-Faculty Transfer Application Form.
- Log in to the Remita Platform and generate a unique 12-digit RRR billing code under “Ambrose Alli University” for the inter-faculty transfer processing fee.
- Complete payment at any commercial bank or online and attach the verified payment receipt to your application form.
- Submit the form to your current Head of Department (HOD) and Faculty Dean for formal recommendation and release endorsement.
- Deliver the dossier to the receiving HOD and Faculty Dean for evaluation of course credits and formal acceptance endorsement.
- Submit the fully endorsed application package to the Academic Affairs Registry for transmission to the Senate Committee on Academic Matters.
- Upon Senate approval, collect your official Transfer Approval Letter and proceed to complete course registration in your new department.
Students must continue attending lectures in their original department until formal Senate transfer approval is officially communicated.
- Official AAU Inter-Faculty Transfer Application Form duly completed and endorsed.
- 12-digit Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) receipt confirming payment of the transfer processing fee.
- Certified copies of semester result slips showing cumulative GPA and academic standing.
- Original O-Level certificates verified via WAEC Direct or NECO portals.
- Original JAMB Admission Letter and UTME result slip downloaded from the JAMB e-Facility Portal.
Obtaining formal Senate approval is essential before attempting to register courses under the new academic programme.
AAU academic regulations specify that any student who attends lectures or sits for examinations in a new department without an official Senate Transfer Approval Letter will have their examination scripts invalidated.
Following systematic transfer protocols ensures that your academic credits are properly credited and guarantees smooth progression toward your degree.
Thank you for breaking this down so clearly. This answered the exact confusion I had regarding the registration requirements.
This is arguably one of the most concise explanations I have come across on this topic. God bless you for sharing.
Extremely helpful post. My younger sibling was facing this exact dilemma last week. I will share this link with him right away.
Please what is the recommended procedure if the school portal is not reflecting the payment receipt after completing the bank branch remita transfer?
Great inquiry. As a general rule across Nigerian tertiary institutions, once a payment is made via Remita, the confirmation is automated. However, network latency between the interbank settlement switch and the school portal can cause temporary delays. We advise taking a clear photograph of your payment slip and sending a support ticket with your application number and RRR code to the institution’s official ICT helpdesk. In virtually all cases, transactions are validated within one business day without any forfeiture of admission or screening eligibility.
Thank you author for this timely post. The information here helped me avoid making a costly mistake on my application form.
A very comprehensive review. It is refreshing to read an educational article written in plain everyday English without unnecessary jargon.
Thank you for shedding light on this issue. Our school counselor never explained the difference between the aggregate score and the raw UTME mark like this.
This guide covers all the critical angles. Parents and guardians also need to read this so they can properly assist their wards during admission season.
Please I need a quick clarification: can an applicant who has already uploaded their O-level result make changes if there was an omission of a required subject?
Thank you for contacting EduTalks. Regarding subject combination discrepancies: if your chosen UTME subject combination does not align strictly with the National Universities Commission (NUC) and JAMB brochure requirements for that faculty, you must immediately apply for a Change of Course on the JAMB portal to an aligned discipline. Universities conduct automated eligibility filtering, and mismatched combinations will result in disqualification regardless of a high aggregate score.
Insightful analysis. Many students get disqualified annually simply because they fail to follow these exact guidelines highlighted here.
