Hello everyone, greetings smiley
Can anyone please point me to where I can get a presentable document Explaining the Grading System in Nigerian universities? I applied for ission at HTW Berlin, during the application I attach a simple explanation of our grading system but I received a mail from the school with the title 'missing documents' and I'm asked to reply with an 'Explanation of the Grading System'. I need urgent assistance please!

Well, not really.
The security guys were the ones trying to cause confusion. They said I must have the amount with me even if it will eventually be returned because I already told them I was on scholarship.

Actually, I tried to go with the amount but the lack of new notes couldn't allow. When they told me I must have the cash with me, I tried to get 30k from POS but the guys said he was going to deduct 10k as his charges!

I just went back to the Embassy to see how things would play out and fortunately, I was eventually allowed in. However, another guy who wasn't with the cash was turned back in my presence although I'm not sure what he was applying for and if he has any scholarship.

Are you also an AvH Fellow?

Wow, thank you for the detailed response. Yes I'm an AvH fellow but I doubt I'll be at the introductory day event due to this appointment date issue. Fingers crossed though.

The fee is 30k in naira?

Fingers crossed for you too...I hope you get a response in good time.

your university's registrar office/exams and records to provide this explanation.

It informs how your grades were calculated E.g.
A=70-100
B= 60-69
C = 50-59
.
.
.

Then explains the CGPA system
Maximum point =5
Minimum point 1.0

Graduating class classification
4.5-5.0 First class
<1.00 Fail

This information is also on your University handbook and ONLY provide the information handbook as at when you were itted and/or graduated.

In many universities e.g OAU and UNIBEN, this information is present on the back of the transcript.

If you graduated from DELSU, I may be able to help fast track it.

Please how did you get the express service?

I really enjoyed 'super-fast' express service. I received my port today with the visa. The visa was approved yesterday meaning it only took 2 days!

When did you book your appointment? I got mine within three days. Have you checked your spam folder?

The security guys asked all the applicants if they were with up to 35k so I guess the visa fee shouldn't be more than that in naira.

I already got a favorable response! I have my visa approved now.

I didn't do anything to fast track the application. However, it appears the Embassy gives priority to certain group of applicants that, fortunately, I belonged to.

Woooow... congratulations! I also got an appointment date yesterday for March. I applied Feb. 4th.

How will you get your port? Were you asked to pay for DHL or it's pick up?

Your booking and appointment dates are quite wide apart! Mine was just three days. Maybe mine was so fast because my departure date is fast approaching. My language training starts on March 6 and I should be there some days earlier.

I have my port with me already. Yes, I paid for DHL. It appears the option of pick up is not available.

How do you guys book pocket-friendly flight to ? The quotes from Lufthansa are really expensive!

Lol...six days gap isn't wide apart compared to what I've been seeing in this travel section .

Thank you for the heads-up on the DHL. I'm looking forward to seeing/learning how you solve the high flight fare issue. Safe trip!

Search using lastminute.de and Google flight search. You should book for a one way or book a 2 way flight with insurance for flexible flight dates change.

Thanks for the explanation smiley
So tentatively I will have to request this from my University, for my mind I'm done and dusted with any request to that school.

No sor, I did not graduate from DELSU.

Your uni in Nigeria should have that. It's usually in the Faculty handbook that you receive upon matriculation. Many schools also have it as pdf on their website. So check your uni's website. It contains details of the grading system and description of the courses.

No just cash. Look for abokis that exchanges dollars, they have.

How long did you had to wait for your appointment?

Hello everyone, greetings. I live in Karu LGA, Nasarawa State. Recently I booked an appointment for Visa application. Two days later I got this email from the embassy.

”Dear Sir,

Thank you for your email. Please be informed that the German Consulate General in Lagos is responsible for all visa applications for study purposes.

You can find all information on the application process on our website: https://nigeria.diplo.de/ng-en/service/visa/student-research-and-language-course-visa/1015536.

Yours sincerely,”

Meanwhile from the embassy's website, it states clearly that I can apply through the embassy in Abuja.

Tentatively, does this mean that I must have to apply through the consolate in Lagos?

If you read the website very carefully, you will notice that Abuja is responsible for ONLY CONSULAR Services, everything except for Visa purposes.

Lagos is responsible for visas.

I guess he meant if your certificate is in English meaning that your language of instruction was in English.

will not issue me an English written certificate if my study was in German, then, I will need a translation or apostille

Hi, I guess this may be of help as you prepare for your appointment. Ensure you go with the following essential documents in addition to other required ones:

1. Hosting agreement. This is different from the award letter. You can it and send to your host to fill, sign and stamp

2. If you will be participating in language training, print out the email information indicating your stipend details during the period.

Good luck!

Thank you very much. The hosting agreement isn't a 'able' form from the link sent to me.

Where did you yours from please and how did you do the prepaid return envelope?
