What Direct Entry Applicants Must Know About OAU
Forget whatever you
have been told or you have read about OAU not offering Direct Entry (DE)
admission to applicants who graduated from certain schools, or OAU being sentimental
about the polytechnic and colleges they offer admission to their alumni who
want to further in OAU as DE; OAU is a lot of things no one likes, but OAU is
not selective of the schools they offer admission to their alumni! As a matter
of fact, alumni of any school—so long it is an accredited school—can be
admitted to OAU at any session, only that they will have to earn it; how to
earn it or how they didn’t earn is what so many applicants don’t understand,
which is why they end up concluding they weren’t offered admission because OAU doesn’t
offer admission to alumni of their schools. This is absolutely not a fact!
OAU is only selective
of your grade points and your class of graduation, and of whether the course
you studied in your former institution is accredited or not, and whether your
school is accredited or not. If all of these are okay, then you have only one
thing left between you and your admission—the delivery of your transcripts and
other documents to the admissions office before the admission processes begin! OAU
takes the transcripts so seriously that no matter how much your grade points
and other things qualify you for the admission, if your transcripts and other
required documents are not submitted to the admissions office on time, you will
definitely not be offered the admission. And this is where most of the DE
applicants that are not admitted always get it wrong; they just fill their DE
forms online and sit waiting to be told that they have been offered admission. It
doesn’t work that way!
So if you are a DE
applicant aspiring for OAU, please know that the school you did you previous
programme at is not necessarily what determines whether or not OAU will offer
you admission, what determines it mostly is the delivery of your transcripts to
the admissions office on time, with other little things put in place. I should
also use this medium to inform you that it is not assured any year whether OAU will
conduct a form of test on the DE applicants or not, because they always
fluctuate about that per year. So prepare thinking they will, and if they end
not conducting any test, your preparation is never a waste. I the meantime, I wish
you all the best in your endeavors to get admitted to OAU.
