If you have paid for the form,just log-in with your Confirmation order and Application Number.

@Ann
You could go back to the bank to see if the changes could be made.Your Application Number shows you made the payment.Thats all i can think of.
Or you could send a mail to info@gps-ng.com for suggestions on what to do.
Pls can a 1st class candidate in URP apply for Msc/PhD in CEMAC environmental management and control.
PLS HOW CAN I GET PG ACCOUNT NUMBER
@DOM
Just go to First bank or any other bank on the E-tranzact platform.Tell them you want to pay UNN Post Graduate Application fees using the E-transact form.They will do it for you.No account Number!
Insist that your Application Number gotten from the Unn website be used there.
The school of Postgraduate studies advertised for MBA programme for 2014/2015 admission but to my greatest surprise, no provision for the programme was made online. How do i go about this now? I’m so devastated and confused on the ne
xt step to take.
I’m confused o! Should we take our referee form(after downloading it) to our referees to fill? If yes, it means I would have to travel to Enugu(cos that’s where I schoold)
From the advert,your documents including Transcript should reach them before/on 20th April.While filling the form online,you will/would’ve seen a contrasting message which says all documents should be at PG school before/on 4/9/2014.
IMO,i think its better to play safe! Treat everything you have with the latest deadline you.It’s better to play safe!
Pranhcois. Pls tell me wher u filled ur form. Is it on enugu? I am on my way to nnsuka nw to look for who wil help me wit d form.I av paid at d bank for two weeks nw Icant access d portal to fill d form.pls call me 09034539389

Pls wen is d deadline for submission of transcript
@phrancois
pls can u help me to confirm if the transcript can be delivered by hand and if we can deliver ours to PG school UNEC? I.e for those whose campus is at UNEC. Tanx
I’ve left UNN.Would’ve asked at the School of PG studies if i saw your post earlier. It depends how your school handles transcript.Some schools send it directly to the destination while others hand it to the Individual.
If your faculty is based at Enugu Campus,then you should submit all your documents there. It was clearly stated in the advert.
plz am confused abt did unn offers pd in civil Engr.(Highway Option)????if NO What re d other related department i can do my pg?plz.
Pls,wil a UNN graduate need to apply for transcript to apply for PG- UNN,..
Yes,you will forward your transcript to School of PG.
Download your transcript request form online and drop it at the Personel Development building(Records Office).
I think UNN is confused. They advertised that the closing date is 20th of April, 2014. Now they’re saying 8th April. Please, which one do we take?
Where did you get the info? I was at Pg School UNN today.I asked them about the deadline and they said they ‘might’ extend the deadline from 20th April.They dont know about any 8th AprilI deadline I am not sure of the info so just work on the 20th April you saw!
I generated the payment slip using the telephone number and other details in applying last year. I noticed that the application number generated is the same as that which i got last year. Thinking that the application number is generic, i made payment at first bank, only for the system to say that the details i entered have been used by another person. I tried to generate another payment slip with my alternate phone number and realised that a different application number appeared. Could anyone who had this problem and was able to resolve it tell me what to do. the site builders should have wriiten the programme to ensure that someone who applied last year is likely to use the same details and the system would still map the phone number to an application number already used i the previous year. If my thinking is wrong, etransact should please tell me what to do as the bank i bought the form from in Abuja appear helpless over this matter. thanks.
I have de same problem…I wnt 2 d pg skul nd dey said we should send complaint to info@gps-ng.com wit d invoice number nd confirmation order
Please can the transcript be delivered by hand? Should those whose campus is at UNEC send their transcript there?

You have to state the problem you are facing.

Please try again or send an email to info@gps-ng.com
@Petd
When you created your payment slip after logging in your Surname,number and Email, did you insist your application number be used at the bank whle making payment using the e-tranzact platform?
Your application number should have been used to make payments.So after payments you log in with your Confirmation Order(the long code) and your application number.
Can’t think of any other solution.
I’m not pleased with UNN.Your Transcript is supposed to be at PG school by April 4th 12:59pm.
Im yet to apply.Hope i meet up with the deadline.
@phrancois is it April 4th or April 20th?
Please, who has any info on Scholarship for M.Sc students? I really need one. Thanks
