You got yours in 2 months? That was fast!

Mine took 8 months. My results and scores disappeared. Later, my file was nowhere to be found. Infact, I lost the masters admission. After much of tipping everyone involved, all the missing documents appeared. I just told them to send it to UKEAS for me. Now, I have my transcript with me...

How much you tip dem in all?

Apologies folks but we Nigerians are funny somehow!

We tend to "isolate" issues without realising that "Action we take/support, has a profound and connected effect in and on our lives".

In summary, it takes long to get this Transcript because most Universities did not COMPUTERIZE their EXAM RECORDS.... for a long time.
Once that is done, such Transcript are only a button away from Printing it or even Emailing a soft copy to your inbox.
Anything done manually will suffer same fate. SIMPLES!

But dont point too much fingers at the Universities/School.
Ask yourself: What is the purpose of having a Computer and its Database, when there is no light/Electricity to power it 24/7?

In countries where the citizens take their future seriously (by voting-in the right people, not based on sentiments or tribe or religion and being objective), each Lecturer records your scores into the central database, ....as he marks your scripts.
I have experienced it in the past, having taught in a foreign school in the West, in the past.

This Database is always on and always available...... a Lecturer can even access it via "secure tunnel", from home, to record scores
Printing Score Cards, generating CGPA's, Transcripts, e.t.c are done via small "automated" scripts.

The reason is that Electricity is CONSTANT and AVAILABLE!


So, in the case of our dear Nigeria, as long as we still POLITICIZE TRUTH, Vote based on Tribe and religion...... then we should not complain because "AS YOU LAY YOUR BED, SO YOU WILL LIE ON IT". undecided undecided

Here in Ghana, we get our transcript in 3 days...2 weeks at most.. If there is a delay, then the server must have caused the delay for them to access your result...

It beats my imagination to read various comments on such delay trying to access your transcript from the university in nigeria...

Africa must wake up abeg...

Getting your university result transcript can be a hell if you graduated from a university where you must follow undue protocols and bribe your way to get your transcript.

I remembered when I applied for a masters program abroad with a friend of mine who studied abroad. I contacted my university in Nigeria the same day as my friend but his transcript was in his mail box three days later. I took the intervention of other lecturers before I could get my transcript in 2 months.

I have met some other graduates who felt so bad that the university their graduated from will still treat them this way.

It will be hard for some people to understand this situation especially if you are from a private university or a university that works well administratively.

I have seen many Nigerians miss different opportunities abroad because of the failure of their home universities in Nigeria to forward their transcript to the required bodies.

Some time ago, I came across an online business service provider that deals on helping people to obtain their transcript from universities in Nigeria. Although I did not finally use their service because I heard many complaints from their customers who have paid without getting their transcripts many months later. Although there are others they where able to secure their transcript.

I will advice that if you need your transcript in Nigeria you should start processing it three months or more before the time you need it.

I will like to hear your experience in obtaining your transcript from your university especially when you are no longer living in the state where your university is located?

Is it better in your university after making the normal payment and sending application for your transcript?

Wanna know if the School for your Masters program actually requested your School of graduation send them your Transcript directly or you sent them yourself?

FUT Minna is hell. They can't even give u a copy. And they placed such exorbitant prices to send it abroad. Applied for 3 universities abroad last year, paid 60k as it was 20k for each uni. And took over a month to get delivered to each

I was in ekiti state university this week, and after I've applied for the transcript, all they could tell me is to come back for it in 4 weeks later. And a friend collected his own just within 2 weeks.

I requested for transcript from IMSU in December and it took almost eleven weeks before it was finally delivered to the school where I applied for my Masters, imagine, their first list is out and my name was not there because of the delay in sending transcript.
I paid 30,000 plus delivery money and I made use of this guys www.etx-ng.com though expensive but I know if I go by myself, the stress and sorting will be too much for me to bear.

lol! When foreign friends tell me ,"they are bombing nigeria" or "nigeria is at war" ,I say to them, "it is the north east of Nigeria been in violence". They do not understand. I will take it that you do not understand. You need to travel so that you know. People like you can never understand.

I think the op is generalizing this thing. perhaps, we can separate the schools. unilorin, futa n unilag(a friend says they lag even sends email copies). on d other hand, we hv ATBU, Futminna, Delsu n Imsu.
