Achievements
The following are the Department's achievements:-
- Automation of the Admission functions which has made processes more effective and efficient compared to having them done manually
- Vast marketing platforms that include face-to-face, the college Bulk SMS, emails, Official Facebook page, Website, Mass Media and E-Citizen platform. With the onset of COVID-19, most face-to-face activities were minimized. The online platforms served as better alternatives to communicating College information effectively. The majority of our client base are youth who also tend to embrace social media, making them readily inquire about admission processes and requirements among other related information.

- Introduction of admission champions per department that handle clients' inquiries at the departmental level before escalating them to the department.
