The Right UNN Clearance Documents for Newly Admitted Students [Fully Explained]

This post is for newly admitted UNN students. It will cover UNN clearance documents. In other words, you will be shown all the UNN clearance requirements so that you can start getting them ready. The documents required for UNN clearance are about 16. You will be given files in which you are expected to file your documents. Note, however, that candidates offered provisional admission into various courses in the UNN are expected to regularize their admission by paying their acceptance fee. You are therefore advised to pay your acceptance fee as soon as possible and start getting ready for your clearance.

The clearance is done by the faculty officers at the various faculty offices [you will be informed if there is any change of venue]. It is a verification process aimed at eliminating any form of falsification of documents and ensuring that the candidates who have been offered provisional admission really possess the minimum entry requirements of the school and their prospective courses. Admitted candidates who do not possess ALL the required documents will lose their admission.

You would need to make both the originals and photocopies of the following documents available for your clearance. Go through the list now, find out the ones you already have and begin to source for the ones you don’t have. By so doing, you would reduce the stress that comes with registration rush and hassle.

Remember there are two letters to write i.e. apart from local government identification letter. One is Letter of Attestation. The other is Letter of Undertaking. These two letters must be included in your files. So it is important that you learn the right format and how to word the letters. See how to write a Letter of Attestation. You can also use this link to check how to write a Letter of Undertaking. In both articles, we included samples to make it easy for you to grab.

Now on the issue of O’level result(s), make sure that you have credit passes in all the subjects required for your course (in not more than two sittings) before you proceed to pay your acceptance fee. This is very important because if you don’t have a complete O’level result for your prospective course, you will not be cleared even though you have paid the huge sum for acceptance.

Finally, ensure that you have all these documents with you as you travel to school on or before the resumption date. That might save you the time and stress of traveling back home to source for them.
