About UI Distance Learning Centre.

The programmes are run under the University’s Open and Distance Learning (ODL) Platform.

The University of Ibadan Distance Learning Centre (UIDLC) is an arm of the University responsible for providing Open and Distance Learning University Education.

This mode of education is technology-mediated and provides for minimum physical interaction between the learners and the facilitators. DLC learners are spread across different locations within and outside the country because of the convenience of access which is made available by this mode.

It is noteworthy to further inform prospective candidates that the academic activities of UIDLC are facilitated by the same lecturers as the regular mode of study.

The issuance of the same certificates as obtainable in the conventional university system is also assured. This is technically referred to as PARITY OF ESTEEM- both categories have equal rights and privileges.

At the moment, the Centre has fifteen (16) academic programmes which are fully accredited by the National University Commission (NUC).

Here, we will take a look at the UI DLC Courses, Requirements & School Fees  for 2021/2022. We will consider how much students in various departments are supposed to pay and highlight if there are additional fees required.
