LASU NELFUND Change of Course or School. Students of Lagos State University (LASU) who are beneficiaries of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) must follow a clearly defined documentation process when requesting a change of course or change of institution.
This guide consolidates the official requirements, clarifies what must be submitted, and outlines how to avoid processing delays.
Who This Applies To
This directive applies strictly to:
- LASU students currently enrolled under the NELFUND loan scheme
- Students requesting either:
- A change of course/programme, or
- A change of institution (school transfer)
Requests outside these categories are not covered under this guideline.
Core Requirement: A Formal Request Letter
Every application begins with a formal, signed request letter addressed to the university.
The letter is not a formality—it is the primary verification document used to reconcile your academic and loan records across institutions or programmes.
What the Letter Must Clearly State
The request must explicitly indicate:
- Type of request (course change or school transfer)
- Full identification and academic transition details
Mandatory Information to Include
To ensure traceability across institutional and NELFUND systems, your letter must contain:
- Old and new matriculation numbers
- Old and new Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) registration numbers
- Bank Verification Number (BVN)
- National Identification Number (NIN)
- NELFUND Loan Application ID
- Active phone number and email address
Any omission here creates a verification gap and can stall your request.
Supporting Documents (Non-Negotiable)
Your application must include evidence of both previous and current admissions.
Previous Admission Records
- Admission letter (former programme or institution)
- JAMB admission letter (former programme or institution)
New Admission Records
- Admission letter (new programme or institution)
- JAMB admission letter (new programme or institution)
These documents establish continuity and validate your eligibility under the loan framework.
Submission Protocol (Strict Compliance Required)
LASU mandates a structured submission format:
- The request letter must be:
- Typed
- Duly signed
- Scanned in PDF format
- Submission channels:
- Sent electronically to the designated university email (as provided by LASU), or
- Submitted as a hard copy, depending on instructions from the NELFUND Desk Officer
Failure to comply with format requirements may lead to outright rejection or delays.
Where to Submit or Get Clarification
All submissions and enquiries should be directed to:
NELFUND Desk Office
Directorate of Special Intervention
3rd Floor, Babatunde Raji Fashola Senate Building
Lagos State University
This is the official processing and advisory unit for all NELFUND-related student requests within LASU.
Critical Advisory for Applicants
LASU’s position is unambiguous: incomplete or poorly structured submissions will not be processed promptly.
To ensure approval without delays:
- Treat the request letter as a compliance document, not a casual note
- Cross-check all identifiers (JAMB, matric number, BVN, NIN)
- Ensure all admission documents are consistent and legible
- Submit only complete application files
For NELFUND beneficiaries, this process directly affects loan record continuity and institutional validation, making accuracy non-negotiable.
