The transfer approval request is just the school suggesting another related course for you since you do not meet the requirements to get admission to your chosen course.

Schools send this request if:

• You did not meet the cut-off mark for your original course.
• The school has limited slots for your original course and can’t accommodate you.
• The school wants to transfer you to a related course based on your qualifications.

When you receive this request on JAMB CAPS, you can go through the new course suggested by the school

If you do not want to study the new course, you’ll reject the transfer approval to decline the change.

Reasons to reject transfer approval request on JAMB CAPS

You should reject a transfer approval request from a school if:

• You plan to apply to a different school in the next admission cycle.

What will happen after you reject a transfer approval request

After rejecting the transfer approval request:

• You’ll not be considered for admission into the new course: Rejecting the transfer approval request means that the school will not process your admission for the new course. When you reject a transfer approval request, you’re telling the school that you’re not interested in the new course they suggested and don’t want them to offer you admission to study the course.
• You won’t get admission into the school again that year: In many cases, rejecting a transfer approval means you’ll not be admitted into any other course by the school.
• You can apply for a change of institution or course: If you reject the transfer, you should consider applying for a change of institution or course through the JAMB portal. This way, you can get admission into another course or any course of your choice in another school since the one you rejected their transfer request won’t be offering you admission.
• Your admission chances depend on the institution’s decision: Some schools can still consider you for other courses if you reject their transfer approval request, but this is rare.

Before you reject the transfer, make sure you have an alternative plan, like another school or a course choice.
