• Prospective Corps members should make sure they have access to working email accounts and Nigerian (GSM) phone numbers so they may register. These phone numbers and e-mail addresses must be kept up during the service year.

Only graduates who have received their education locally and whose names are on the Senate/Academic Board-approved result lists that their institutions have submitted will be able to access the register on the NYSC portal.
• Prospective Corps members with foreign training should be aware that only individuals with degrees from approved universities are eligible for mobilization. Any potential Corps Member who has received their education abroad and has questions about the accreditation status of their institution may contact the Federal Ministry of Education for confirmation. Nigerian graduates who received their education abroad must visit the NYSC website, register, and upload the necessary files.
