When you have finally enrolled on the IJMB program, the next time on your mind is when to resume and start classes, which is normally the most exciting part for the majority of students.
However, the most common question students are asking is, what are the things to bring along while resuming at your IJMB centre?
This is the reason why we decided to put a complete and comprehensive list together and this article will provide you with everything you need to carry along when resuming at your IJMB centre to make your journey easy and stress-free. Make sure you read to the end.
What To Bring Along While Resuming At Your IJMB Centres
It is normal to wonder what exactly you need to take along. The truth is, there isn’t much to bring, but a few important items can make your resumption smooth and stress-free. Here is a simple checklist to guide you:
- Passport Photographs
Bring along a few recent passport-sized photographs. You will likely need them for identification, registration, and documentation purposes. - Photocopies of Your O’Level Result and Admission Documents
Make sure you have photocopies of your O’Level (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) result. Also, print your admission letter and any other admission-related details. These documents should be submitted to your IJMB coordinator or secretary upon arrival. - Receipts and Payment Evidence
If you have made any payments, whether online or at the bank—come along with your receipts or tellers. If your payment was made through a portal, print out all your payment confirmations. Get ready to submit them to your centre coordinator or secretary and inform them of all the payments you have made. - A Cardigan or Sweater
Most IJMB centres can be quite cold, especially during early mornings and evenings. A warm cardigan or sweater will help keep you comfortable. - Personal Items: Buckets and Bathroom Slippers
Bring along basic personal items like buckets and bathroom slippers. These are essential for your day-to-day hygiene and bathing needs. - Cooking Utensils (Optional)
If you have plans to cook your meals instead of buying food from vendors or the school kitchen, you will need to bring your basic cooking utensils. - Mattress (Or Buy One at the Centre)
Most IJMB centres don’t provide mattresses. Ask your agent or coordinator to be sure whether your centre provides it or not. If they don’t, then you have to get one for yourself. If you have one, bring it along. Alternatively, you can buy one at the centre when you arrive. - At Least 50% of Your Centre Fee (If Not Paid Already)
If you haven’t completed your tuition or accommodation fee, come prepared to pay at least 50% of your centre fee to secure your spot. - Review Your Admission Letter Again
Your admission letter might include specific instructions or items unique to your centre. Reread it carefully to ensure you haven’t missed anything important. - Mark Your Resumption on the IJMB Portal
Once you’ve resumed at your centre, make sure to log in to the IJMB portal and mark your resumption. This step is important for your records and attendance. - Upload Your Payment Evidence to the Portal
Finally, upload all of your payment evidence, bank teller, or receipt given to you at the centre to the IJMB portal. This is often required to confirm your registration.
Conclusion
Packing for IJMB resumption doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Focus on bringing essential items and organizing all of your documents and payment receipts.
Once you get to your centre, make sure you stay in touch with your coordinator or agent for any additional information, requirements, or updates. Best of luck as you begin your IJMB journey!
