If you have ever had the opportunity to run any course at the University of Calabar, you would agree that the school is one of the best schools in Nigeria to run both full time and part time degree programmes despite the stress accustomed with the admission process.
The university of Calabar centre for educational services (CES) is the office responsible for the administration of part time admission programmes in the university of Calabar. Often times candidates seeking admission via part time confuse the full time courses for part time courses. They just assume that any course offered in the undergraduate full time degree programme is equally offered under CALABAR part time degree programmes but this is not always the case.
From data collated so far, we can deduce that medical courses like Pharmacy, Medicine and Surgery are usually not offered under part time undergraduate programmes mainly because of the scope of work involved which includes, practicals, field trips, consistent attendance and other factors. Though courses like Biology, chemistry, Computer science and even some engineering course are offered but in UNICAL, there are no part time courses for Engineering programmes.
Administrative courses like Accounting, Business Administration are the most applied courses under part time studies in the University of Calabar. Faculty of Science we have courses like computer science, Biology, chemistry, physics as the most registered part time courses in CALABAR part time admission form. While for faculty of education, Accounting education and business education are the most commonly part time courses applied for in CALABAR.
To gain admission into CALABAR part time degree programmes DOES NOT require the universal tertiary matriculation examination (UTME). All that is required is to get your correct O’level results and must be at least 18 years of age to be qualified to purchase the CALABAR part time admission form. In the course of writing this article, we shall also provide the approved entry admission requirements to study any of the part time courses offered in CALABAR as at today.
Some candidates or applicants often complain using the following statements “the course i applied for was not given to me, what should i do? i met all the admission requirements yet i was not offered admission, how do i apply for CALABAR part time degree programme? what are the part time courses offered in CALABAR, what are the requirements to apply for CALABAR part time degree programme?, what is CALABAR part time degree cut off mark?
All above questions have one answer, meeting the admission requirements. Any candidate that does meet the CALABAR part time admission requirement automatically is eligible for admission except the quota for his or her department has been met and in such circumstance, only the best will be selected.
One common requirement for the Calabar part-time courses is that they all require O’level results with at least five (5) credit passes which must include English language and mathematics. However, courses like Law, international relations and others.
