The 4 year degree programme is designed for candidates with 5 O'level credits (including mathematics) or with equivalent qualifications. However, candidates with 2 or 3 A'level passes in the social sciences in addition to 3 or 4 O'level credits may be admitted into the second year of the programme.

Candidates must also obtain at least 250 points (catchment) and 300 points (non-catchment) in the University Matriculation Examinations (UME) of JAMB (Joint Admission & Matriculation Board). The three sitting subjects must be relevant to Accounting.

Candidates with three (3) Advanced level passes in the relevant subjects may be admitted into the second year (level II) of the programme. The total points that would qualify such candidates for the level II admission is a minimum of 12 points (catchment) and 14 points (non-catchment). Such candidates must satisfy the mathematics requirement.

Holders of National Diploma in Accounting, Finance, Banking, Business Administration and other relevant courses from recognised institutions may be considered for level II admission, if they have at least an upper credit grade and have satisfied the mathematics requirement.

In all cases, candidates for admission in to the programme (B.Sc Accounting) must satisfy the general regulations governing admission into the University.
