After admission has been confirmed, it is not mandatory to take this step before the commencement of studies. This step can be done within the first year of studies.
This step entails sending all the required documents to the university by post or in person. Unattested certificates are accepted during application for admission, and attested documents must be sent via postal service to the university before the commencement of the second year of studies. You will receive the details needed and the university postal address once you have been approved for admission.
Note: Attestation is a mandatory requirement to obtain a degree at Iconic University. We, therefore, recommend that students compile it well in advance to avoid any complications later on. The notarized copy of the document that the student posted to the university must itself bear the notary stamps and signatures. A photocopy of the notarised documents is acceptable to be sent to the university.

Categories for Academic Courses
- Major Courses
- Required Ancillary Courses
- Elective Courses
- General Studies Courses
The major courses are the compulsory courses in the student’s main area of study. Required ancillary courses are compulsory courses in the student’s main area or related area of study, while electives are courses within or outside the student’s main area of study which may be stipulated as compulsory or non-compulsory/optional.
The programme operates course credit system. Under this system; departmental programmes are drawn up in such a manner that courses are arranged in progressive order of importance and intensity and assigned weights called credit units. Each course carries 1, 2, 3, 4, or more units to be minimum of 30-taught unit and examined at the end of the course within one semester.
A pre-requisite course is one that must be taken and passed before any student is allowed to register for another course, usually a more advanced one to which that course is pre-requisite. Usually, pre-requisite courses are so designated, but in general , courses at lower level are considered as pre-requisite for the courses at higher levels within the same programme.
In our online system, students are not normally allowed to register for higher level courses than their year of study allowed except where their academic programs allow for such in the layout. Academic programmes are not changed or reviewed mid-way through the course. Any approved program shall be allowed to remain in force for the duration of the course and until the set of students registered under the programme have graduated.
The teaching and research facilities, staff needs, teaching methods, programmes innovations, and student’s performance in the department are reviewed and examined periodically.
