Admissions

Begin your Caleb journey online. The 2026/2027 session opens admissions for B.Sc. Computer Science.

Pioneer Cohort, 2026/2027 session

CUDLC is currently admitting only into B.Sc. Computer Science. Additional programmes will be opened for application as they are brought online — register your interest below to be notified when your preferred programme launches.

Application Process

Admission to CUDLC is open all year, with two main intakes per academic session. The application is fully online — you will not need to visit the Imota campus to apply or to be screened.

Step 1 — Create your applicant account

Click "Apply Now" anywhere on this site. You will be guided to register an applicant account using a valid email address and phone number. You will receive a verification email to activate the account.

Step 2 — Complete the application form

Fill in your personal details, educational background, and choose your entry mode (UTME or Direct Entry). For the 2026/2027 session, the only programme available for selection is B.Sc. Computer Science. Upload scanned copies of:

  • Recent passport photograph (white background, 600×600px)
  • O'level result(s) — WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or equivalent
  • A'Level/OND/NCE/HND certificate (for Direct Entry)
  • Birth certificate or sworn affidavit of age
  • Local government identification

Step 3 — Pay the application fee

Pay the non-refundable application fee online (Paystack/Flutterwave card, transfer, or USSD). Once payment is confirmed, your application moves to the screening stage.

Step 4 — Screening interview

You will be scheduled for a 20-minute online video interview with the Admissions Committee. Bring your original documents to the interview for verification.

Step 5 — Admission decision

Decisions are typically released within 7–14 working days of the interview. Successful candidates receive a digital admission letter and instructions to pay the acceptance fee. Unsuccessful candidates are notified by email with the reason and may reapply in the next intake.

IV. Quick answers

Common admissions questions.

Which programmes can I apply for at CUDLC right now?
For the 2025/2026 pioneer cohort, CUDLC is admitting only into <strong>B.Sc. Computer Science</strong>. Our broader programme catalogue — Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Accounting, Mass Communication, Law, the MBA, and others — will open session by session as each programme is brought online. You can register your interest via the <a href="/contact">contact form</a> to be notified when your preferred programme launches.
How do I apply to CUDLC?
Click "Apply Now" on the homepage to start an application. You will need your O'level results and a passport photograph. <strong>JAMB is NOT required for Distance Learning</strong> — the JAMB UTME slip is only needed if you are applying through full-time UTME entry into the conventional campus. The application is fully online — no need to visit campus.
Do I need JAMB to apply for Distance Learning?
<strong>No, JAMB is not required for Distance Learning admission at CUDLC.</strong> The Distance Learning programme accepts candidates based on O'level results (5 credits including English and Mathematics, plus subjects relevant to the programme). JAMB UTME is only required for the conventional full-time campus mode. Direct Entry candidates with OND, HND, NCE, or A-Levels are also welcome.
What is the JAMB cut-off for CUDLC?
JAMB is only required for the conventional full-time campus mode (not Distance Learning). For full-time UTME applicants, the approved JAMB cut-off mark for Caleb University in the 2026/2027 academic session is 160. The pioneer programme — B.Sc. Computer Science — additionally requires that English, Mathematics, and Physics are in your UTME subject combination. Distance Learning applicants can disregard this question.
Do I need to come to Imota for screening?
No. CUDLC screening is conducted entirely online via video interview at a scheduled time. Bring your original O'level result and a means of identification to the video call. Distance Learning applicants do not need a JAMB slip.
Can I apply through Direct Entry?
Yes. Holders of OND in Computer Science / Computer Engineering, NCE in Computer Science, HND in a relevant computing field, or A-Levels with Mathematics may apply via Direct Entry to enter B.Sc. Computer Science at 200-level. Full credentials are required during application.
Can I apply if I sat O'level in two different sittings?
Yes. CUDLC accepts O'level results from a maximum of two sittings (e.g. WAEC + NECO, or two WAEC sittings). The combined credits must include English, Mathematics, and Physics.
I have an OND/HND — can I skip the first year?
Yes, through Direct Entry. OND in Computer Science / Computer Engineering (Upper Credit minimum), NCE in Computer Science (Merit minimum), or HND in a relevant computing field (Lower Credit minimum) qualifies you to enter at 200-level.
