No matter how the admission information came, first thing first is to visit the faculty officer to confirm your admission status. If they say your name appears in the department admission list for that year, then proceed to pay acceptance fee and if not ask for more guidance on what to do. Most school processes involve filling a form on your demography (data) and uploading some of your documents scan copy on the internet. Some of the documents include:
1. Birth certificate
2. The local government of origin certificate
3. Secondary school testimonial
4. Joint Admission Matriculation Board (J.A.M.B) statement of result or JAMB admission letter if available.
5. Previous degree certificate (where applicable).
6. Passport (background colour chosen by school).
7. Post Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination results slip
After submitting the information, you will be given a unique identifier for you to be able to pay at the bank approved by the school authority. (Keep all documents from now on. You may need them in the future before you collect your certificate).
Depending on the school, you may need to print out the screening forms from your generated school portal after you paid your acceptance fee or buy them from the office of the faculty officer. The forms include:
1. Clearance form
2. Acceptance of an offer of provisional admission
3. Student data form
4. Guarantor form
5. Medical form
The student will has to buy four files in which the forms will be kept. The forms will be made into five copies except for medical form. Each of the forms will be placed in each of the files. Fill each form with relevant details as they come. This is no easy task at all as a full pen may not even be enough. After filling each as appropriate arranged them in a particular order designed by the school. Attach the passport photograph to each file and in some of the forms in each file.
Next is to visit the university health centre with your medical form. That is after you must have paid some money for the medical process. It is simple. Just get the account details of the health centre and make the payment. Show them your payment and you are good to go. The process is short but may take a whole day when the number of students is more than the available staffs.
The medical form will be filled with your test results entered by the medical personnel. Take the filled form, make copies into four places and include it in your file.
Now, you will be required to include the copy of the receipt or teller use for paying acceptance and medical in those files. The other documents needed are those ones you uploaded when processing payment for acceptance. Guarantor form must be filled by your guardian. Reference letter by someone of high authority close to you (different schools with a different number of reference letter they want) is duplicated into the number of files you have. (Some schools ask for new scratch cards for checking your results).
Submit the form to the screening officer at the faculty office. They will look at how well your arrangement conforms to the school standard and if you met the faculty requirements. Any mistake may make them go gaga to the point of sending your files and documents through the window down the floor. So just be ready for it. If your documents are OK, they will sign on each one of the forms in each file (probably the one at the beginning known as the clearance form). One of the files is given to you the student as your personal copy and the rest keep away in the faculty.
The department takes names of screened students to the cafe for an update. If the update is successful, the student goes to the cafe to capture their biometrics. Once biometrics is done the student is free from year one screening.

Year Four (Confirmatory Screening)
At year four (year five for pharm D), a confirmation screening is done for all pharmacy students. It is simple as it involves making copies of originals of:1. clearance form from the file you have at home
2. Current school identity card
3. JAMB original admission letter
4. Senior secondary school certificate examination certificate
5. Birth certificate
Both original and duplicate is submitted but the originals are returned to the student. Heard that these documents are sent to Abuja for confirmation of the authenticity of the documents submitted by the student and any student with fake details will lose the admission. Note that all documents submitted at this stage must be originals unlike in year one when a statement of result can be accepted because not everybody has gotten their original results then.
Final Year (Clearance)
The last phase is clearance after the names of those inducting have been released. Duplicate all your course form and school fees printout from year one to finals arranged in order into four places. Add them up into each of the files you submitted in year one. Buy a file known as student data file. Fill in all the courses you write from year one to final year in it with title, code and units. Submit to course adviser for the process. Go to dean's office and get internal clearance form after the officer in charge must have confirmed your name in the list of inductees. The form contains spaces where each Head of Department (HOD) and head laboratory technician of each department will sign. Laboratory technicians sign before HODs signs. This is to show that you are not owing the laboratory anything when the laboratory technician signs and that you have met that department requirement when the HOD signs. After obtaining a signature from all laboratory technician and HOD, there is a space for course adviser. Dean signature ends it all and paves the way for external clearance. The office of the dean will provide you with this form. The following office will have to sign you out:1. Library
2. Hall of residence
3. Sports
4. Bursary
5. Examination and record
Once you have signed all these, you are now a certified graduate. However, for those who wish to obtain the statement of result, visit the office assigned for that. In this office, you will be required to provide current school identity card, a duplicate copy of school fees print out with the article 'graduation fee,' duplicate of alumni receipt which can be obtained by paying the proscribe fee at an approved bank into an approved account, original clearance form (make a duplicate for yourself).
