What should I do if after signing-up, I cannot submit my application?
Some applicants who have signed up on the UNILAG Career portal (career.unilag.edu.ng) have not submitted their applications. Applicants should note the following additional information and guidelines:
a. Follow the provided instructions in the text fields where suggestions are specified.
b. Applicants should “type-in” the text field, and if they must copy from anywhere, they must avoid copying characters such as bullets along with text from Microsoft word.
c. Applicants should use the Add More button to add more education entries in the case of post-secondary education and professional certificates. Applicants Should never enter all degrees in a text field.
d. Applicants should avoid collection of all certificates in a single file as this makes the file too large for upload. Instead, hold down the control key on your keyboard and click on each file to select multiple files (certificate) for upload.
e. Applicants should avoid the use of apostrophe, full stop, semicolon in filename such as (John’s Application.pdf, BSc.Certificate.pdf). Introducing such characters in the filename would result in the server error “this page is not working” because there cannot be two “dots” in a file name. Just make it a simple filename. Example (Application.pdf, BScCertificate.pdf). In short, avoid the use of apostrophes in the entire form if possible.
f. Applicants should refresh the page if any error occurs before refilling the form or re-initiate the process from the email received during sign-up.
