UNN Current Ranking

UNN Current Ranking

University of Nigeria always comes amongst the top whenever universities in Nigeria are ranked despite the parameters used. This is apparently the

case because the school authority has steadily made efforts since inception to improve the course content, research, student affairs, reward of excellence, staff welfare, infrastructure, and a transparent system.

For example in July 2015, according to Journals Consortiums, University of Nigeria was 2nd Best University in Nigeria as well as 13th Best University in Africa after about 1,447 universities were compared by the Consortium.

The high rank of UNN has made it one of the highest sought-after schools in Nigeria.

Also, all other courses offered at University of Nigeria follow this schedule of 4 years (where a student does not have an extra semester), but there are variations in courses like Law, Engineering (which requires 5 years), and Medicine and Surgery (6/7 depending on school calendar).

UNN Transcript

As part of continued efforts to serve alumni of the University better, University of Nigeria has designed an electronic platform where they can place order for transcripts through their portal on alumni.unn.edu.ng/web/guest/itranscript.

This method of requesting for transcript is known as iTranscript application. It enables all ordered transcripts to be sent electronically to the schools were they are needed. This way, alumni don’t have to visit the school and queue for their transcript as this makes the process of transcript application a lot easier and convenient for alumni of the school.

When you open the page, click on Continue and all the required information (like school where it is needed, full address of its school, ZIP, country and continent for foreign schools) will be inputted on the portal. All payments must be made online. Note that as soon as your transcript is picked up by your courier of choice, the tracking number of your transcript will be sent to you.

When you are done doing all that is required of you, use the Quit button to log out.
