IV. Quick answers

Common admissions questions.

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.
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. You'll also need to register for JAMB Direct Entry.
Is there an interview, and what is it like?
Yes. After you pay the application fee, you'll be scheduled for a 20-minute online video interview with the Admissions Committee. You'll be asked about your motivation, prior background, and your plans for managing the workload alongside other commitments. Have your original documents on hand for verification.
How long does it take to get an admission decision?
Decisions are typically released **within 7–14 working days** of your screening 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.
