The Management of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) hereby informs all candidates, the university community, and the general public that the official process for Programme Transfer Approval (Change of Course) for the 2026/2027 Admission Exercise has officially commenced.
This exercise is designed to provide qualified applicants whose initial choice of program could not be accommodated—due to departmental quota constraints or aggregate score considerations—an opportunity to transfer into alternative, suitably aligned academic programs across available faculties.

Minimum Cut-Off Score: Must possess an aggregate score that meets or exceeds the approved minimum cut-off mark for the proposed new target program.
O’Level Subject Combination: Must satisfy all standard O’Level subject requirements (including Mathematics and English Language, plus relevant core subjects) for the new course of choice in not more than two sittings.
Transfer Authorization: Must have received an invitation or notification of transfer eligibility on their UNILORIN candidate portal dashboard.

Strict Application Deadlines: The transfer approval portal will remain open for a limited period. Candidates are urged to complete all acceptance procedures immediately.
Data Integrity: Any attempt to falsify credentials or force a transfer into an unauthorized course will result in immediate disqualification from the admission exercise.
No Manual Processing: Candidates are strongly warned against engaging third parties or fraudsters. The University of Ilorin does not conduct transfer approvals via offline agents, social media, or personal bank accounts.
