KWASU Discontinues HND Conversion Programme from 2025/2026 Session
Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, has announced the discontinuation of its Top-Up and HND Conversion programme starting from the 2025/2026 academic session. The decision follows directives from the National Universities Commission (NUC).
Key Update: KWASU will no longer run HND conversion programmes from 2025/2026 in compliance with NUC regulations.
Overview of the Decision
KWASU confirmed that the Top-Up and HND Conversion programme will be stopped as part of regulatory compliance with the National Universities Commission.
The announcement was made by the university management, which stated that the decision aligns with national guidelines governing university programmes in Nigeria.
Reason for Discontinuation
The university explained that the decision was based on directives from the National Universities Commission (NUC), which regulates academic programmes across Nigerian universities.
This means that admission into Top-Up and HND conversion programmes will no longer be available at KWASU from the stated academic session.
What Happens to Current Students?
KWASU stated that the National Universities Commission will later provide clear guidelines on the status of students who are already enrolled in the programme.
This means existing students will receive official instructions on how their academic progression will be handled.
Impact on Applicants
Prospective applicants will no longer be able to apply for the HND Conversion or Top-Up programmes at KWASU.
The university will now focus on other approved undergraduate and postgraduate academic programmes in line with NUC policies.
Institutional Compliance
KWASU reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining academic standards and complying fully with regulatory guidelines issued by the NUC.
The institution emphasized that all academic programmes must align with national education policies.
Final Thoughts
The discontinuation of the HND conversion programme marks a major policy shift in KWASU’s academic structure.
Students and prospective applicants are advised to stay updated with official announcements regarding alternative admission opportunities.
