The University of Ibadan has offered qualified candidates an alternative pathway to earn its degree without being limited by the shortage of on-campus spaces through the institution’s special admission window for its Open, Distance and eLearning programme.
The institution said the initiative was designed to give hope to candidates who participated in the Post-UTME screening but could not secure admission through the conventional face-to-face mode due to quota limitations and physical space constraints on campus.
A statement issued by the Director of the UI Distance Learning Centre, Prof. Olufade Onifade, in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Saturday, said the special application window for the 2025/2026 academic session would close on August 15, 2026, with commencement of the special cohort classes scheduled for August 17, 2026.
Onifade said, “Candidates who sat for the UI Post-UTME examination can now switch to the ODeL mode of study at no cost.
