296<p>Students apply for studying at a University of their choice to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). JAMB conducts the Universities Matriculation Examination (UME) and sends the results of the students, who have passed the UME, in electronic form (file on CD) directly to the universities. Students check their results online on the JAMB website. Students who have passed the UME can then apply online for the Post University Matriculation Examination (PUME) conducted by Uniben directly on the PUME Application website.</p>
297<p>Relevant fields that will be extracted from the JAMB data for further processing are:</p>

Before they can apply for accommodation or register new courses their previous session result must have been uploaded online by the Portal Manager (Step R2). Only Categories A (passed all courses) and B (passed some but have some carryovers) are eligible to register for a new level in the new session and also to apply for accommodation. The students placed in Category C are students that have just enough credits to remain in the faculty and repeat the level (probation). They are allowed to register for the same level but not to apply for accommodation. The students placed in Category D or higher are either expected to withdraw from the university or been allowed to probate after consulting respective authorities. The latter requires portal manager validation.</p>
496<p>Exception: 200 level Medical students represent a unique group of students who do not write sessional examinations and will thus be allowed to apply for accommodation when they have successfully registered for level 300.  That inadvertently means they have to be allowed to register for 300 level without results for their 200 level.</p>
497<p>The students print out the <em>Sessional Result Slip</em>. A Student is not allowed to see his scores but rather the grade and Sessional GPA.  The Result Slip however also shows the student's name, matric number, registration number, course of study, faculty, session and level.</p>

501<li><a class="reference" href="Examples/GPACalculation.doc">GPACalculation.doc</a></li>
502</ul>
503<p>Steps 11 - 13 are then identical. Only during course registration the so-called 'carryovers', i.e. the courses that were failed in the previous session, are picked up by the system and listed first.</p>

506<h1><a id="iii-direct-entry" name="iii-direct-entry">III Direct Entry</a></h1>
507<p>Direct Entry (DE) Students bypass Step 1 - 4. The Excel Data sheet from JAMB is directly sent to the Admission board. The following procedure is identical as the one for the UME Students.</p>
508</div>
509<div class="section">
510<h1><a id="iv-local-programme-entry" name="iv-local-programme-entry">IV Local Programme Entry</a></h1>
511<p>For admission into Diploma (full and part time), Degree (part time) and Post graduate programmes (full and part time) students can bypass the JAMB admission procedure and apply directly at the university. Only the entry examination (Step 2) then differs and is called <em>Local Programme Examination</em>. The Local Programme Application Form can be combined with the PUME Application Form (Step 1). However, the application for this requires their results to be added; scanned unlike Post UME where the result is scanned and added after the student has been admitted. If the results are not yet available the students can tick a box called 'awaiting results'.</p>
512<p>Also the 'JAMB data' have to be filled manually. The registration number is generated internally with the pattern of 3-alphabets representing the study programme,  6 digits random number and 2-digits representing the year.</p>
513<p>For example: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DIA000001/06</span></tt> means the first person to log in is for Diploma in Accounting and is applying in the 2006/2007 session.</p>
