Dear Student/Prospective Student,
Your set is coming in after over two year painstaking repositioning of the DLC UI in line with the National Guidelines on Distance Education in Nigeria and to a large extent in compliance with global best practices.
You would have come across many messages on what DLC UI is all about and the fact that we are not a part-time institution while our certificates has the same worth and credibility with the ones being awarded to students on the regular or conventional mode. Apart from the mode of study, you are the same with our regular students and can study from any part of the world without coming to the University of Ibadan or the Lagos Centre except for examinations and limited interactive sessions.
Apart from the above, you will be the first beneficiary of a truly Open Distance Learning Management System and platform as evident in the new portal. The Tablet that you have paid for as part of your school fees will be deployed immediately after Matriculation and Orientation (starting in the last week of January and ending in the first week of February, 2015) is a device that contains all your course materials and will be used for many of your academic activities including tests and quizzes. This can be used on and offline. In addition, you will have the benefit of real time academic as against administrative and technical support real time and for 24/7 and access to E-Library from wherever you are. For this, you will after the Matriculation be allocated to the online academic advisers. So, what we offer is a flexible and self-paced learning environment without having to run from pillar to post.
Registration commences on Thursday, January 8, 2015
Deadline for payment of fees is Wednesday, 28 January, 2015
Orientation/Matriculation and Interactive Sessions start on 30 January, 2015
