UI Distance Learning Courses, Fees and Admission Requirement

The University of Ibadan (UI) has further provided a Toll-Free Internet Data on its Learning Portal. Notably, the University has two modes of educational delivery:

1. the conventional onsite mode
2. the Open, Distance and eLearning (ODeL) mode.

And both modes are viable alternatives for pursuing a University of Ibadan degree. Hence, the entrenchment of the “Parity of Esteem” policy in the University.

The policy stipulates that students on the two modes of study have equal rights and privileges in the University. And are, in fact, exposed to the same university curriculum and exams by the same course lecturers/facilitators. Therefore, they graduate with the same University of Ibadan degree.
