Candidates can reprint their JAMB transfer approval undertaking form on eFacility by logging into efacility.jamb.gov.ng, navigating to the Transfer Approval module, clicking on Print Transfer Undertaking Form, and downloading the certified PDF document to present during physical departmental clearance at their newly admitted institution.
A transfer approval undertaking form is a formal statutory document required by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board and university admissions boards when an applicant transitions from their primary course choice to an alternative degree programme recommended by the institution. By signing this undertaking, the candidate formally accepts the conditions of the new programme, forfeits claims to their original choice, and confirms that their secondary school O’Level credits satisfy all departmental benchmarks. Without this verified undertaking slip, university admissions officers strictly decline to endorse candidate clearance dockets.
To reprint the transfer approval undertaking form, the applicant opens Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge on a personal computer or smartphone and visits efacility.jamb.gov.ng. The candidate logs in using their registered email address and profile password. From the profile home screen, the student scrolls to the Institutional Transfer & Regularization section and selects Transfer Approval Undertaking Form. The candidate inputs their institutional matriculation or temporary registration number to retrieve the personalized clearance template.
The central verification system automatically pulls candidate demographic information, admitted institution name, newly approved department, and assigned JAMB registration number onto the document. The candidate clicks Download PDF and prints at least three clean color copies on standard white A4 paper using a high-resolution printer. The student signs the candidate pledge section and attaches two recent white-background passport photographs. Presenting this form alongside academic credentials at the newly allocated department secures official clearance endorsement.
Furthermore, faculty screening committees require this document to permanently reconcile departmental admission quotas, ensuring that each transferred candidate is accounted for in faculty board minutes and that their newly assigned matriculation docket is forwarded to the academic affairs division for senate approval.

Extremely clear and helpful explanation. This cleared up the exact questions my study group was having regarding this process.
Very practical breakdown. It is reassuring to find verified information without all the rumors circulating on social media.
Great article. The distinction you highlighted between the institutional requirements and the general regulations is very important.
This was really helpful and timely. Thank you for consistently publishing reliable educational resources for students across Nigeria.
Quick question please: if an applicant has already completed the initial registration, can changes still be made within the correction window without penalty?
Great question. Yes, most examination and admission bodies allow data corrections during the designated modification window before final data lock. However, ensure that any biometric, course, or institution amendments are processed strictly through accredited CBT or administrative centers to prevent profile suspension or upload mismatch.
Please, does this same policy apply to candidates who sat for WAEC GCE as private candidates rather than internal school candidates?

Yes, WAEC GCE (private candidate) certificates and results carry the exact same legal and academic validity as internal school candidate results for admission and institutional clearance purposes.
