The AFIT Remedial Studies Programme remains one of the alternative admission routes for candidates who may not yet meet all the requirements for direct admission into degree or National Diploma (ND) programmes. The programme provides students with the opportunity to strengthen their academic foundation while preparing for future admission into their preferred courses.
Prospective applicants who are interested in the AFIT Remedial Programme are advised to begin their registration immediately, as the application portal is already active and accepting applications.
According to the admission schedule released by the institution, the sale of forms commenced on 29 June 2026, while the application window will officially close on 14 September 2026. Candidates are encouraged not to wait until the deadline before completing their registration.
Unlike the regular undergraduate admission process that depends heavily on UTME scores, the AFIT Remedial Studies Programme places greater emphasis on candidates’ O’Level qualifications. This makes it an excellent opportunity for applicants who want to improve their chances of securing admission into higher education.
To be eligible for admission into the AFIT School of Basic and Remedial Studies, candidates must possess at least three credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, in subjects relevant to their intended course of study. The required credits can be obtained from WAEC, NECO, GCE or NABTEB, provided the results are not obtained in more than two sittings.
The institution has also confirmed that both science and non-science applicants are eligible to apply for the programme, provided they satisfy the minimum admission requirements. This means candidates intending to pursue courses in engineering, sciences, management sciences, arts or other disciplines can all take advantage of the remedial programme depending on their academic background.
The AFIT Remedial Studies Programme has continued to attract many applicants over the years because it provides another pathway into tertiary education. Many students who were unable to secure admission through the regular UTME process often use remedial programmes to improve their qualifications and prepare for future admission exercises.
Applicants are therefore encouraged to ensure that the information supplied during registration is accurate and that all required documents are uploaded correctly before submitting their applications. Providing incorrect information may delay the admission process or lead to disqualification.
