Why would they collect your documents without giving it back to you?

oppsonn:
Please do the ministry of education hand over the Original Transcript back to the applicant because the original copy was sent to them from the school

If the Ministry of education don't hand over the original transcript? Which transcript will someone use for legalization?

Is she is a Nigerian?

If Yes, then she must come down to Nigeria (MoE and MoFA) for Authentication & Legalization.

If she is a Beninese, then she would have to do it at MoE and MoFA in Benin Republic.

maziude:
Hi guys,

Please send me an email and mention here to me that you have sent me an email. I will respond and send you my whatsapp num. If you don't remind me here I might not check as many people also have sent me email before.

I don't think i paid any application fee for University of Bologna. I paid for other 3 universities I applied to though but not University of Bologna

And I didn't legalize my documents for the Admission Process.

Skymoore1004:
How much was the application fee?

I asked to know if you had to legalise your documents before you applied

The list of Documents you need to submit is will be listed for you during your Application process. It could be different if applying to other schools.

Skymoore1004:
Thanks you’ve given me hope with my 2:2
What documents did you submit for admission and how were you assessed? Also what is the application fee?

Telecommunications Engineering. The Tuition Fee is 3300 Euros

I had 2:2

Skymoore1004:


For which course and how much is the tuition per year? Please what’s your CGPA no vex

My Admission just came in form University of Bologna

Guys i need a urgent clarification on this Family Income Affidavit.

Due to the fact that am sponsoring myself, how do you think i should approach this Family Income Affidavit in such a way that it will benefit me.

Q1. Should I include the amount in my own personal Account or not.

Q2. If i do, will it affect my chances of obtaining scholarships or a reduced tuition fee?

Please i need info from those who have gone through this before or those who have the info.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Dencotext

This is an insightful pieces that you've written. And I would love to have your digits (call/chat) for urgent clarification.

Thanks

Dencotext:
Hi all,

After many years, God's favorite pikin is in the forum once more to give you guys a little advice.

Well I am in Italy now. If you are going to do your master, and moreover if you are sponsoring yourself, then you do not need to attach any birth certificate from NPC... that was my case. I know my rights so when the (African lady) staff from Italian consular office in Abuja called me on phone asking that I must also bring my birth certificate, I made sure she understood that it did not apply to me... she should go and ask her consular officer... who when he came on the phone told her (after asking me some questions) that it is not applicable to people in my category.

Why is it applicable and when is it not applicable? Although you could choose to do it anyway if you want even when it is not applicable.

If you are being sponsored by your family (you know a thirdparty sponsorship is not allowed) then it is a must that you should attach your birth certificate, even if you are going to do your master degree.

I once worked online with a university and we review docs coming in from allover the world, so I have a firsthand knowledge on how documentation verification exercise is carried out in general, it is not magical... the last person I counseled was a girl who was denied visa here at the Italian embassy in Lagos and she contacted me. By the time I reviewed how she packaged the visa that was denied, and pointed out the mistakes made and how to correct them, she repackaged the visa application as instructed and today she is in Italy. The funny thing is that no two person case that are denied visa may be exactly identical, because our packages are reviewed based on the categories we fit in, but basically there is two major categories which we could be placed
1. whether you are sponsoring yourself
2. or whether another person is sponsoring you
Any one of these two methods greatly change the way your application for student visa would be reviewed. The greatest example being the use of birth certificate not being necessary for those sponsoring themselves (even if you are not going to do a master degree). But becomes absolutely necessary for those who someone else may be sponsoring them, because the names of the one who is supposed to be your parent is stated on the birth certificate and it gives the reviewing officer facts that the person sponsoring you is your father or mother if it corresponds with name on the birth certificate. If it does not, and an uncle or brother is sponsoring you, the birth certificate incriminates you, so you have to attach court declaration of guardian/sponsorship and also prove of the family connection that exist between you and that member. If you fail to add extra documents apart from the court declaration, to prove the family connections, the visa reviewer may be unable to prove that they are your relatives, and so the person would be considered to be a thirdparty. And your visa application would be denied.

In the case of this girl that was denied visa, she was almost screaming at me on the phone that it was indeed her father who was sponsoring her (actually the person was by law her step father, because the mother remarried after the death of her father). But I made her understand how blind her argument was because the visa office would not know this fact, unless your father's name on the birth certificate matches your step father's name, but as it is, they are different. So no matter the court declaration that he is your guardian, it would not make sense. The visa office can only accept family sponsorship, which is a bit different from someone undertaking to sponsor you, that is why guardianship is highly suspicious. So I will add the third category
3. the trickish issue of guardianship

For a guardian to qualify as family and not a thirdparty, you must attach extra documents. There must be a legal or court declaration of sponsorship, and the second document should tackle the motive why they are sponsoring... like the fact they are (1) your husband (2) adopted parents (3) step father (4) relatives or brethren... outside these, someone with no family or legal tie is automatically a thirdparty. And again, each of these subcategories comes with some challenges to prove them. I will only single out two for explanations.... THE CASE OF A STEP FATHER AND THE CASE OF HUSBAND.

Having processed documents for my online university, we can only accept the name change of ladies that got married if they also attach their marriage certificate to explain why their academic documents bears a different surname from their current passport or ID. In that case, no need for court affidavit for name change, because marriage is a legal institution covered by the certificate.

In the case of a step father, as I had to think for some hours or days before I counseled that girl, the process of reviewing is about how legal and convincing your documents are. It made the greatest sense to me, who was well trained to review documents coming into my university from allover the world, that a step father proof can be proven systematically by including the following documents.... a) your birth certificate, which has your late father's name, and mother's name on it (that would be sufficient and more satisfactory than attaching their marriage certificate) b) the death certificate of your late father, c) the new marriage certificate of your mother to your step father d) a commitment letter of sponsorship from the court.... because in truth a step father, who did not born you, is not legally mandated to be your sponsor if they choose not to, so they must commit themselves legally to be considered your custodian. When this girl followed this series of inexplicable steps which I recommended for her, and presented all these documents, along with a letter of apology acknowledging that she realized why she was denied visa based on that fact.... she was granted the visa. She complained that the period to appeal has passed, but I kept reminding her that the visa application was not supposed to interfere with people's destiny if they meet the requirement...so if your university gives you admission, you can still arrive anytime during the first semester which last for about 4 to 6 months.

holly0077:

what if the o'level is Neco for someone going for msc...?

They accept NECO for MSc studies.

Hi Tommicome,

Please can you help with the Family Income Statement

Will pm you. Thanks

Tommicome:
For the benefits of those asking questions about the different stages, although I might not be able to explicitly write out all that is needed to be done, but I will try to put some information together, which with some more search efforts, it should be enough to get going.

It behooves of everyone who wants to apply to adequately search for every necessary information. Below are the stages:

1. Search for schools
Search using Google and the popular URLs like bachelorsportal(dot)com, mastersportal(dot)com, etc. On every university portal, you will find information about the different courses they offer, the admission process and stages, school fees, scholarships, double degree options, ERASMUS options, accommodation, job statistics after graduation and the estimated standard of living in the cities where the schools reside. In a situation you are not so cleared, write the international offices of the schools and they would respond to you. Search on social media if you can also find people who are students in such institutions to also get the necessary information.

My little advice, if you are not really ready to give what it takes in terms of full time study, please don't apply to Politecnicos. They could be quite demanding, but if you think you are, give it a shot and you will be rewarded for it.

Please make sure you apply to at least 5 schools to increase your chances and to also have a better standpoint when making the decision to finally go for one.

2. Gather your documents and get them translated.
Usually, the Consulate have registered translators. Find out. Mrs Zita Folarin is one of those who do good jobs. There are others too. There are a number of them at the TBS complex in Lagos. We also have some in Abuja.

3. Authenticate the translated documents
The authentication is done at 2 different ministries: The Ministry of Education and The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja. You or an immediate member of your family has to do it. Please get receipt for all that you do and keep them

A faster way of doing things is to get the original documents from the translator while they continue with the translation, and then proceed with the authentication, because it could take time.

4.Apply for legalization and and pre-enrollment at the Consulate.
You need to book by sending an email (if I am still right). Read up on the website of the Consulate or take a stroll there on one of their open days to get the updated information. Go with the need cash and follow every instruction.

5.Apply for your VISA.
TIPS
-Use your parent, sibling or personal account and have not just enough money in there, but also a proven or good cash flow. Anything above 3m should do.
-Get a proven accommodation. Once you get your admission, start searching for student accommodations in the city where you plan to travel to. Write them and request to pay on arrival, but get all the needed document to show the Consulate.
-Properly fill the forms.
-Attach all the needed documents and prove strong ties to Nigeria, to convince them you will come back.
-Hope for the best, because luck also plays a big role.
-Don't give up. You can re-apply immediately after a rejection.

6. Travel

Documents you would need to work with:

1. Original WAEC result, with enough unused scratch cards at hand.
2. Original Bachelors certificate (if going for Masters)
3. Original Bachelors transcript
4. Family income statement. You will design it and get it signed at the High court. This is part of what you would need to obtain your scholarship when you get to Italy.
5 Birth Certificate. It has to be issued by the NPC. We have them in almost every state. Lagos can be expensive or slow.
6. Affidavit of birth, if born on or before 1990 (if I am right)


If you have any question or issue I haven't touched, please drop your questions. I won't answer the obvious or already written ones. Thanks.

ALL THE BEST!!!

Please guys is it true that NECO is not allowed for Admission in Italy?

amikable97:
Please who is applying to University of Bologna?

Hi Ujules

Did you apply to Kaunas University with a 2:2 ?

I want to be sure if I can apply for Masters with 2:2 instead of applying for another BSc.

Thanks

Ujules:
For those
asking about application process for a degree, different schools vary. Just read up the application process on your schools website.

I applied for Masters in Kaunas University of Technology, I was asked to submit legalized documents by Ministry of Education and Ministry of foreign Affairs, I’ve already done that for my WAEC, NECO and Degree certificate. They insisted I must submit my transcript which has been legalized also which I haven’t done else my application will not be processed.

I asked them if my school can send it to them and they said school has to send them legalized copy (which is impossible because school can’t give me any copy to legalize aside my student copy which I have), I told them I would upload the legalized copy as soon as it’s available. I also asked them if I can proceed with skype interview and they said Yes. I did my Skype interview on 27th Nov, and on 28th, I was mailed that I’ve gotten admission but need to come with all legalized copies of my documents when I finally get into the school.

I will do that for my student copy of transcript when I come to Abuja.

On the issue of age, if you’ve gotten a bachelors [/color][color=#770077]degree before, I advise you choose Masters. I got admitted to do a 2nd bachelors degree in Hungary in August. Everything went through aside my Visa. The consular officer explained to me that the only reason why I was denied visa is because I’m 30 and going for another bachelors degree, and my age is too high for a bachelors degree.
Because of this, I had to apply for Masters in Lithuania.

dayjeee:
Any unilorin graduate that has successfully used the student copy of transcript to gain admission here??

Yea!......Are you one?

Hi please can you also help me with your TMA and those past questions you sent to @Rippa

I am very much interested

dailydolar:
are you saying as a student I can bring in my wife and kids even before I graduate

100%

So far you have all the Documents needed (like Marriage Cert, your Child Birth Cert ). You can while still a student.

heybaby12:
Please for those of you that got your transcripts from uniport how did u go about it?

Someone I know has been trying but no way, they said they won't send to just any company only to registered agents with them. Did anyone face this same problem?
If yes how did you go about it.

The registered Agents are still Courier Services registered under the school. So they are the ones that delivers any parcels on behalf of the school.

This agents had an office in my school back then, so will have to go to their office or stand within your school premises. So your best bet is

to ask the school who their agents are, then you strike a deal with the Agents to allow you make photocopy of the transcript and then you pay him like 2-3k
OR
You tell the Agent you will give him the money (maybe half) he was suppose to use to post the Transcript and then he will he will give you t

he Transcript instead of sending it.

#Cheers

engrola00001:


thanks, I think it is better to attend it once and for all.

Thank you, this is obvious the best way forward.

We need to bring as many Nigerians to Germany, so therefore all slot must be properly used.

Kenthumphz:



That's probably cos the traffic in Abuja ain't much. In Lagos, May is entirely gone. You can either cancel then rebook at a better time but I would advise you be cautious with that.

Please try as much as possible to pick a date that will give you room to present all your Documents. Canceling a date will definitely affect

other candidates later because that slot will go to waste which someone would have successfully use.

Thanks.

kolidave:

BUT if you want to swap later to SL, Then you must give them a valid reason why you want to use SL

#StayBless

MaroCruz:


I saw his reply, he was in no way rude to you, and he's right, to book for visa appointment you need opening confirmation or blocking confirmation for a blocked account, as stated in the consulate's website.

And what is wrong about what i said?

And who said you should not book for appointment even before funding. Anyone can go for the interview without any dime or SL. And by the way I

have addressed what i need to address, so no need parabolating on this.

How to apply

The application period for the 2018 fall term (classes starting on 15 October 2018) is from 1 January 2018 to 30 April 2018. Applications submitted after this date will not be considered. Only complete applications containing all required documents will be considered. 

The application review process involves two elements: First, a check of the applicant's suitability for the program, conducted by the Institute of Sport Science and Sport, and second, a formal review of the applicants' degree certificates conducted by the central university administration.

Step 1:

It is very simple. Since you will be sending photocopies of your documents Please Certify or Notorize them even tho it is not stated there.

It is a Norm to certify or Notarize all your documents when seeking admission, since you are not sending your Original result. The reason is because it proves that your Copy Documents are genuine.
