Inter-University Transfer

In exceptional cases, candidates may be considered for transfer from other universities into Bayero University to continue their degree studies. The following guidelines shall be adopted in processing applications for inter-university transfers as stated in section 2.6 of General Examinations and Academic Regulations (GEAR):

1. Application forms for transfer into the University shall be obtained from the Registry on the payment of prescribed fees.
2. Candidates seeking transfer shall possess the minimum entry requirements into Bayero University (as indicated in 2.3 and 2.4) prior to their admission into the University from where they are seeking the transfer.
3. Applicants seeking the transfer must be currently enrolled in the university from where they are seeking the transfer.
4. The applicants must be in good academic standing in their current university. Specically, an applicant’s CGPA should be at least 2.40 on a scale of 0.00 to 5.00.
5. The programme for which the applicant seeks to transfer into must be similar to the one he is pursuing at the current university.
6. There must be valid reasons for the transfer (with appropriate supporting documents), which clearly make a case for studying at Bayero University, rather than continuing in the current university.
7. There shall be no transfer to the first, or final, year of study of any programme.
8. If the transfer is approved, the credits earned in the previous university shall be transferred to the programme at Bayero University, Kano. Similarly, the number of years spent in the previous university counts in determining the student’s period of stay at Bayero University.
9. There shall be no transfer into College of Health Sciences and Pharmaceutical Sciences with the exception of programmes in Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, and some programmes in the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences.
