ABU Zaria Inter-faculty /inter-university Transfer Applications

Transfer in higher institution or Univervisty is very rare but atimes it happened for one reason or the other. For some students it is lack of passion or desire for the course they had offer to study, but due to the difficulty in getting admission into the higher institution they accepted the course out of no choice. The other case is that the student will be offered an admission into the institution but after going into academic sessions of that School that student failed to meet the requirements needed to continue with his academy due to poor results. As a result of this cases I mentioned above, the Student seek transfer from his faculty to another faculty that is  less difficult for him, while the other case is that if the student continue with the poor result he has been getting at last he will meet his last bus-stop which is EXPEL. May we not witness it in our academic career Amen.

Almost all our Univesities in Nigeria have this policy of transfer from one faculty to another, from one department to another and from one Institution to another. But my subject of discussion here is how inter and intra transfer is done in Ahmadu Bello University Zaria (ABU). In ABU Zaria we have three (3) method of transfers which are

1. Transfer from one Faculty to anothe Faculty within the School ( Intra-transfer).
2. Transfer from other Institution of higher learning to ABU Zaria (Inter-transfer).
3. Special Admissions into 300 level.https://abu.edu.ng/interfaculty-form.html
