What Is FUOYE's Part-Time Programme?
FUOYE's Part-Time Programme is designed specifically for candidates who want a full federal university degree but can't commit to a conventional full-time schedule — typically because they're working, running a business, or managing other responsibilities that make regular daytime attendance impractical. Classes for part-time programmes are generally structured around evenings, weekends, or block sessions, though the exact scheduling varies by department and should be confirmed directly with your chosen faculty once admitted.
It's worth understanding upfront that part-time admission at FUOYE, as with most Nigerian federal universities, generally costs more than full-time admission for the equivalent programme — a trade-off that reflects the flexibility being offered, since the assumption is that part-time students are more likely to be self-sponsoring or supported by an employer rather than depending on the standard full-time funding structure.
Who Is Eligible to Apply?
While specific departmental requirements can vary, general eligibility for FUOYE's part-time undergraduate admission typically follows the same baseline standards as full-time admission:
- - O'Level requirements: Five credits, including English Language and Mathematics, in no more than two sittings (WAEC, NECO, or equivalent), matching the specific requirements of your chosen course
- - Working professionals and mature candidates are the primary target audience for this programme, though exact age or work-experience requirements should be confirmed against your specific department's published criteria
- - Direct Entry candidates may also be eligible for some part-time programmes, subject to holding qualifying credentials (OND, NCE, or A-Level equivalents) — confirm with the specific department, since not every part-time course accepts Direct Entry applicants
Important note: FUOYE's course-specific eligibility criteria can differ meaningfully between departments — for example, part-time programmes historically offered through FUOYE's Institute of Nursing Science have carried additional requirements, such as Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) approval for prior qualifications. Always check your specific programme's detailed requirements on the official portal before applying, rather than assuming the general baseline above covers every course.
How to Apply for FUOYE Part-Time Admission 2026/2027
1. Visit the official FUOYE part-time application portal, accessible through the university's main website at fuoye.edu.ng
2. Click "New Applicant" to create your application profile — this generates a unique application number
3. Log in using your assigned application number
4. Complete your application form, entering your personal details, academic history, and your chosen course/department
5. Pay the application fee through the approved payment channel on the portal
6. Upload required documents, including your O'Level result(s) and any other credentials specified for your chosen programme
7. Submit your application and print your acknowledgment slip for your records
If You're Still Awaiting Your O'Level Result
FUOYE's admission screening guidance (consistent across its Post-UTME and related admission processes) allows candidates who are still awaiting an O'Level result to begin their application, but final submission is only permitted once the result has been uploaded. If this applies to you, start your application now, and log back into the portal to upload your result as soon as it becomes available — don't wait for your result before beginning the rest of the process, since that risks running short on time before any application deadline.
What to Prepare Before You Start
Having these ready in advance will make the application process significantly smoother:
- - O'Level result(s) — WAEC, NECO, or equivalent, scanned and ready to upload
- - A valid means of identification
- - Passport photograph, meeting the portal's specified format
- - Direct Entry credentials, if applicable to your chosen programme
- - Payment method for the application fee — confirm accepted payment channels directly on the portal
A Note on Fees and Changes Between Sessions
Application fees for FUOYE's part-time programme have historically been set around ₦25,000 in recent admission cycles, based on prior sessions' published figures. However, since fees, specific eligible courses, and portal requirements can change from one academic session to the next, treat this figure as a general reference point rather than a confirmed current cost — verify the exact fee for the 2026/2027 session directly on the official application portal before making any payment.

Why FUOYE's Part-Time Route Is Worth Considering
For working Nigerians who missed the traditional full-time admission window, or who need a degree programme that fits around existing employment, FUOYE's part-time programme offers a genuine path to a recognised federal university qualification without requiring a career pause. As one of the federal universities established in 2011, FUOYE has built out both its Oye and Ikole campuses with a growing range of academic departments, giving part-time applicants a reasonably broad set of course options to choose from — though, as with any part-time programme, availability by department can shift from session to session, so confirm your specific course is actively being offered before beginning your application.
