Dual Program Registration Process
The admissions application process for the Dual Program consists of two steps, the first of which is to complete an online application. After submitting the application, the applicant must send all of the required documents to our admissions office by post. A scanned copy is accepted during the online application process to speed up the acceptance procedure, but the hard copy must be sent by regular mail.

Step Two
Step two entails sending all of the required documents to our admissions office by post. Unattested certificates are accepted for registration, and the attested documents can be sent via airmail to the office of admissions before entering the FINAL SEMESTER of your studies. You will receive the details needed by email once you have finished the online application process.
NOTE: Attestation is a mandatory requirement to obtain your Dual Program degree. We therefore recommend that students complete it well in advance to avoid any complications later.
Required Documents:

Attested photocopy of your high school diploma or higher degree
Note: Your high school diploma must be notarized by an authorized local notary public and it must be clearly shown on the scan sent to IOU. Students are given time (until the completion of the degree) to submit the attested documents. The attested documents must be submitted in order to receive your degree. -
Photocopy of photo ID (e.g. passport). If you do not have a passport, you may submit any other official ID that has your photo on it, (e.g., national Identity card, driving license, etc.)
NOTE: Please mention your IOU student ID on the back of your documents such as certificates or photo ID for easier tracking and recognition.
