Do you want to move from your current university to the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN)? Great news! UNILORIN has officially opened its portal for Inter-University Transfer applications for the 2025/2026 academic session.
If you’re not comfortable with your present school and want a fresh start at a peaceful and stable university, this is your chance to join UNILORIN—one of the most respected federal universities in Nigeria.
What Is Inter-University Transfer?
An inter-university transfer means you are already a student in one school, but you want to continue your studies in another school (in this case, UNILORIN). You don’t have to start from 100 level again. You continue from where you stopped—if UNILORIN accepts your previous results and courses.
Why Choose UNILORIN?
UNILORIN is a top school in Nigeria for many reasons:
-
No strikes (UNILORIN is known for completing sessions on time!) -
Peaceful learning environment
-
High academic standards
-
Affordable fees for a federal university
-
Beautiful and safe campus
