UNILAG Transfer Applications Open 2025/2026
The University of Lagos has thrown open the doors for students who want to transfer from one faculty to another. Maybe your current course feels like the wrong fit, or you just want a fresh start. Whatever the reason, the school’s now selling inter and intra faculty transfer forms for the 2025/2026 academic session.
Sales begin Monday, 21 July and close Friday, 28 November 2025. Don’t get caught snoozing.
Who Can Transfer?
UNILAG won’t let just anyone switch programmes. You need to tick these boxes:
- Must have completed 200 level by the end of 2024/2025
- Must have a minimum CGPA of 1.00
- Must have the right O’Level or A’Level subjects for the course you want
- Must provide your current result slip
