  2. Enter the generated password again in the Repeat Password field.

Step 2 of 5

Complete the application forms

Sign in using your username and password, then provide the required information in the following sections:

  • Programme Selection
  • Personal Data
  • Qualifications
  • Employment Information
  • Transcript Request
Review before submitting. Check all entries for accuracy. You may save your information and return to complete the application later.
Step 3 of 5

Generate your BUK Personalised Payment Form

Generate your BUK Personalised Payment Form (BUKPPF) through your application account. The form contains the information needed to make payment using the Remita e-Payments platform.

Use the payment information generated for your own application account. Follow the payment instructions shown by the portal.
Step 4 of 5

Submit your Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR)

The Remita process generates a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) associated with your payment. After obtaining your RRR, log in to your application account and submit it in the designated field.

Important payment notice: Entering or submitting an RRR in the application portal does not, by itself, confirm that payment has been completed or verified. Follow the portal's instructions for completing payment and checking its status.
Step 5 of 5

Print and keep your acknowledgement slip

Print your Acknowledgement Slip and keep it in a safe place. You will need it when collecting your admission letter and during registration.

Helpful tip: Keep a digital copy as well as a printed copy for your records.

Application checklist

Tick each item as you complete it. This checklist is a personal guide only; it does not update your application status.
