iii. Candidates for Distance Learning, Part-time and other related modes of study MUST apply through JAMB before approaching their preferred institutions to process their admission with JAMB registration number.

iv. All categories of candidates for admissions must be processed through CAPS. Distance learning, Part-time and Sandwich candidates need not sit for UTME but sitting for it does not disqualify them. These categories of candidates would pay to their preferred institution a processing fee that will be determined by the
institutions.

v. JAMB is to place advert to inform the public that all modes of admission must be through JAMB before the preferred institution.

vi. All admission forms completed at the Institutions should be changed to Part-time/Distance Learning Processing Form to avoid confusion. Academic sessions are from 1st August to 31st July therefore the date of admissions determines the sessions in which a candidate is admitted.
