The scheme also warned that the corps members with discrepancies between the date of graduation on their call-up letters and the date on their statements of results would not be registered at the orientation camp.
“Prospective Corps Members with discrepancies in the date of graduation on their call-up letters and the date on their statement of results will not be registered in the orientation camp,” it said.
The NYSC advised affected candidates to resolve such discrepancies with their respective Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting to camp.
“They should sort out such issues with the Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) before reporting to the camp,” the statement added.
The scheme further reminded prospective corps members to complete all required documentation before arriving at the orientation camp, including printing, signing and submitting their registration forms.
“Prospective Corps Members are advised to print and sign the form, which is to be submitted during registration at the orientation camp,” it stated.
The NYSC also outlined the procedure for candidates seeking correction of their dates of birth.
According to the scheme, applicants are required to obtain a 19- or 20-digit WAEC Verification PIN and initiate the correction process through their NYSC dashboard.
The process requires applicants to click on the “Correction of Date of Birth” link, enter their WAEC Verification PIN, select the appropriate WAEC examination type, year of examination, and examination number before verifying and submitting the request.
The scheme urged all prospective corps members to comply with the guidelines to ensure a seamless registration process and avoid unnecessary challenges during the orientation exercise.
