Before I continue I would like to congratulate those of you that have been following my recent articles from the beginning.

Like it or not, any information you get from here will be useful to you sooner or later.

Now you were admitted into public health but you want to switch to a related course like Radiography... Is it possible? Yes

Now this process can only be done after your year 1,, if you switch successfully you will have to repeat year 1 again in that your desired course.

Now... The probability of switching successfully varies According to the department or course... If you want to switch to Medicine and Surgery the probability of switching successfully is very low. Of course I know someone that switched successfully.

Three Factors are considered when you want to switch...

1. Your CGPA during the just concluded session... (1st class most preferably)

2. Your behavior and conduct during that concluded year

3. Connections matters atimes... You have to know someone that can pull some strings

4. Money 

How can you switch from one accredited course to another

First, make sure you are not defaulting in any of the 3 factors above...

•Head to Senior colleagues and lecturers and let them know your plight so they can advise you.

•Head to your current department and request a rejection letter ... It's not free.

  

•Head to the department you want to switch to and get and acceptance letter... It's not free too

Try to make photocopies... From there the department of your choice will give you further instructions on how to complete the process...

Hope this article was helpful?

The Federal Government this evening assured that the perennial crisis in the nation’s university system, which has resulted in the on-going strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) would soon be permanently laid to rest.

 

The Hon. Minister of labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige made the declaration at the resumed negotiation between the Federal Government and ASUU, currently taking place at the Conference Room of the Hon. Minister of Labour and Employment.

 

“The President has directed me to pass the night here until all issues that have kept our children away from school are resolved and strike called off. He has also directed me to impress upon you, the imperative of little sacrifice from all sides, knowing full well that the revenue of the federation has dwindled from what it was before the present administration assumed office.”

 

The Minister further said President Buhari was greatly worried about the situation in the university system, hence, his steady and holistic approach to tackling the rot through adequate funding, notwithstanding the dwindling revenue accruals.

 

“The President told me to assure you of his determination to reposition our universities as he would do everything possible to cast the present challenges in our tertiary education to the dustbin of history,” Ngige added.
