The management of the University of Ibadan’s (UI) Distance Learning Centre (DLC), which provides both online and live lecture opportunities, as well as, flexible payment schemes for the convenience of its students, has announced September 2, 2024 as resumption date for its new and returning students.
According to the Director of the DLC, Prof. Babatunde Omobowale, while chatting with New Telegraph in Ibadan, the Centre still makes application available for interested learners “who meet the eligibility criteria, which include five credits in relevant WAEC/NECO subjects in one sitting or six credits in two sittings”.
Omobowale said “the UI Open Distance eLearning offers a flexible, open, online and seamless blended learning experience which allows learners to join live lectures in real-time and have authentic learning experiences from home, office, or on- the- go, or anywhere they are”.
He stated that UI is committed to making quality education accessible to all, saying UI ODeL is very affordable and has flexible payment schemes with students paying only N50,000 to register and partake in all course activities while paying the balance before the exams.
The Director added that, “Those who scored below 200 in JAMB UTME or did not sit for the UTME can also take advantage of this opportunity, and enrol in any of the University undergraduate programmes in ODeL mode including BSc Computer Science, BSc Economics, BSc Sociology, BSc Psychology, BSc Political Science, BA Communications and Language Arts, Bachelor of Social Work, and Bachelor of Nursing Science among others.
“The University also welcomes learners seeking inter-university transfers into its ODeL programmes, following its extant rules. Such students only need to forward their letter of interest and current transcripts in NUC-accredited programmes from their current university whether private or public university”.
