If you already submitted an ID or passport, but its number has since changed, a scanned photocopy of the previously issued “credential” or a written statement declaring that this is the renewal of a “credential”, must be attached to the request.

Evaluation and Grading Process
Once you have obtained your accredited certificate, you may apply for a place at the University of Granada, or any other Spanish university. This admission procedure allows you to access any undergraduate programme.

Admission priority is determined by two factors: 1) when you apply and 2) your final mark.

Priority is given to those students who submit their pre-enrolment application in the first phase of the admissions procedure. This first phase is usually in mid-July. Click here to find out the deadlines for this year’s admission procedure.

See here for Admissions procedure deadlines.

The second factor that determines priority is your final mark, which is calculated according to the mark that appears in your validation certificate (which must be from 5 to 10 points) and the mark that you have obtained in the specific phase of the university entrance exams (which account for 4/14th of your final mark).

Note that the subjects that are more directly related to the degree you want to apply for (as specified by the university) have a higher weight in the formula that is used to calculate the entrance mark for each specific undergraduate degree. The formula is the following:

Entrance mark = mark on validation certificate + (a × M1) + (b × M2)

– M1 and M2 are the two best marks given in the specific phase of the university entrance exams

– a and b are the multiplication weights that are specific to each degree, and they vary from 0.1 to 0.2, as established by the university

Remember that your mark must be a pass (minimum 5/10 in the Spanish education system) or higher in order to be included in the formula.

Reviewing Your Grade
If you disagree with the grade that you have been awarded, you can request that it be reviewed by sending a printout for grade review, which you can fill out via the following link.

The review request should be sent to the following email address: accesoei@adm.uned.es. The deadline for the request of the credential grade review is one month from the initial date of receipt of the credential.

The University of Oslo which was established on the 2nd day of September 1811 was popularly known as the Royal Frederick University. This was until the year 1939, when its name officially changed.
 
This University which is located in Oslo, Norway was the largest university by land area but however, it has been surpassed and is playing a secondary role to the Norwegian Institute of Science.

A brief history of the University incites us that one core reason for its creation was to encourage political separatist tendencies as Norway sought Independence from Sweden at that time.

The original reason for its creation was to train men and women who will go on to become government ministers and representatives of the parliament.

The University of Oslo as at 2018 is currently ranked at no 142. This is a great fall compared to its 2016 ranking where it ranked at 113.

University of Oslo Tuition fees
University of Oslo all we all know is a public university. Therefore in the University of Oslo, there is no tuition fee. Instead, there is a sum amounting to NOK 600 (74 USD) which is paid by every student. Does this mean that other expenses are covered? No. You the student will still have to foot the bill of your living expenses and other necessary costs.

The student can take up a job that will enable him to meet up with these expenses. This is dependent however if the visa that the student has will avail him the opportunity to take up a job.

However, Ph.D. students in the University can get access to funds when they take up temporary employment in the fellowships.

To apply for this admission into an exchange program, Exchange students must be nominated in UiO’s nomination service by their home university. The deadlines are 1st May for the autumn semester and 1st November for the spring semester.

There are over 800 courses which are taught in English in the exchange programme. The course descriptions give very detailed information about each course, the course contents, when and where it’s taught, the syllabus and the examination form.

Bilateral students at the University of Oslo can make a choice to apply for Norwegian Language Courses both on the foundational and advanced level.

Norwegian Language Courses are taught at the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies. The credit value of these courses can be incorporated into a degree if the courses are recognized by your native institution.

Intensive Norwegian Language Courses are offered in the summer through the International Summer School (ISS) at the University of Oslo.

There will be a free online introductory course to the Norwegian language.

You will need to get a residence permit for this program and since residence permit’s take time to process, it’s wise that you start the process two months before the due date. However, if you do not succeed, as a bilateral or exchange student, you will be given an option to get your permit seven days into your program. Non EU/EEA students also need to get their visa ready as they are in the process of getting their residence permit. The residence permit doesn’t apply for EU student who will need to just register with the police if they are going to stay for more than three months. Norwegian students just need to renew their residence permit.

Student housing must be booked before the start of the program. This is to make it easier for the student to get a very comfortable place in one of the student houses. Only students who diligently follow the process, get access to housing. The students on an exchange programme must arrive two days earlier so as to be part of the orientation program.

Single courses on Bachelor Level: There can be a range of courses on bachelor level which are available for the student to undertake but first the student will need to fulfil the academic requirements.
The applicant must submit all documents of Higher education entrance qualification including English and Norwegian proficiency. You must have them validated by institutes that teach these courses such as TOEFL, IELTS etc.

Applying for the NYSC relocation and redeployment to another state of your choice can be very difficult sometimes.

It can be more difficult if as a corps member you don’t have a genuine reason for the redeployment you seek.

Although all corps members have the right to seek redeployment, before doing that, the NYSC expects you to have a concrete reason for considering a redeployment.

Here are Three reasons that’ll make the NYSC management consider corps members redeployment applications.

1. Health
Any corps member who has a recurring illness that required them to be closely monitored are allowed to apply for redeployment to any state where they can get medical attention. However, before you apply, you will need a medical report from your institution’s medical centre or from a recognized hospital.
 
2. Marriage
Seeking redeployment on a  marital ground most times apply to only female corps members who want to live with their husband.

Such corps members are expected to write an application letter stating why he/she wants to be relocated to another state of her choice.

Applying on a marital ground will require you to attach three documents to your letter, they are:

2. A valid marriage certificate
A document showing the change of name in any of the National Newspapers and Affidavit

A letter from your husband’s workplace which will serve as an evidence that your husband is domiciled in the state you want to relocate to

Note that the letter is expected to be addressed to the Director General of the NYSC through the State Coordinator.

3. Security
Corps members have the liberty to redeploy to another state if the states they are posted to are not safe for them.

MTN’s night data plan has been one of the best offers MTN can give to their subscribers since all their data plans seem too expensive for that amount of data, while SME data is the means of getting the low-cost data from third-party agents.

It's unfortunate that MTN NG has just reduced the data volume allocated to its Pulse Night plan starting from today 16th August 2018 as well as increase the price of SME data by almost 50%, take effect from August 21, 2018.



In this new MTN night plan, you now pay N25 for 125MB instead of N25 for 500MB and N50 for 500MB instead of N50 for 1GB, usable at night between the hours of 12am to 4am.

The telco giant informed its subscribers via the text messages;
Here is what they said;


Y'ello! when you buy the Pulse Night plan at N25 from 16/08/18 you now get 125MB. You also get 250MB for N50 and can make multiple purchases. Dial *406# to buy
According to the official text message sent to all SME data sellers;

Dear Customer, from August 21, 2018, the following prices will apply to MTN SME Data Share: 10GB at N7,500; 20GB at N14,000; 50GB at N30,000. Thank you.

SME Data Old Price 10GB was N5,500; 20GB was N11,000 and 50GB was N25,000.

Once the above price takes effect from the 21st of August 2018, you may no longer be able to buy 1GB for N600, 2GB for N1200, 3GB for N1750 from any third party data reseller again. I don’t know what the price will be but I’m sure the price will make you consider between buying from the third-party reseller or directly from MTN.

Therefore, we advise customers to buy data in bulk now to last you for 3 months before the proposed increment takes effect.

However, if you are still interested in MTN Night Plan, you can subscribe by dialing *406# and follow the on-screen instructions.

oogle Search, commonly referred to as Google Web Search or simply Google, is a web search engine developed by Google. It is the most-used search engine on the World Wide Web, handling more than three billion searches each day. As of June 2018, it is the most used search engine worldwide across all platforms with 90.31% market share.

Besides the main text-based search-engine features of Google search, it also offers multiple quick, interactive experiences. These include:

Calculator
Time zone, currency, and unit conversions
Word translations
Flight status
Local film showings
Weather forecasts
Population and unemployment rates
Package tracking
Word definitions
"Do a barrel roll" (search page spins)
"askew" (results show up sideways)

Do you need to search for your trusty calculator or pull out your phone to find out? No—you can just ask Google.

Google's calculator is more than an ordinary number cruncher. It can calculate both basic and advanced math problems, and it can convert measurements as it calculates. You don't even need to restrict yourself to numbers. Google can understand many words and abbreviations and evaluate those expressions, too.

Google's calculator was designed to solve problems without a lot of math syntax, so you may occasionally find calculator results when you didn't even realize you were searching for the answer to a math equation.

To Use Google's Calculator;
Navigate to the Google homepage. This is located at www.Google.com, the same page from which you can conduct searches or access other Google applications using the menu in the top, righthand corner of the screen. Type in whatever you'd like to be calculated. For instance, you could type: 3+9 and Google will return the result 3+3=6.
You can also type in words and get results. Type in three plus nine and Google will return the result three plus three=twelve.



Allow the page to load successfully and the calculator will prompt on your screen.

Google calculator is more than a Calculator!
The best part about Google Calculator is it's clever. It will usually work out what you are trying to do. So "50,000 NGN to US dollar" works just as well as the other example.



The next time you find yourself wondering "how much this Naira is in Dollars or Pounds?", rather than searching for the currency rate, just use Google's hidden calculator.

Currency conversion is not the only neat trick that Google have added...
Distances, Weight, Time, conversions, Simple Calculations, and even Scientific Calculations are all now possible directly on the Google homepage.

You go into the office every day and work your tail off. You do everything you’re told. You even exceed expectations on a regular basis. So, why haven’t you been promoted at work? Maybe it’s because you haven’t actually ASKED for one.

As an employee, you need to think of yourself as a business-of-one. You are a service provider. The company hired you to perform a service. So, when you want to get promoted within that company, you need to explain to the employer why you need a service charge increase. You need to justify the higher expense.



The first step is to ask yourself, “What have I done to EARN this promotion?” Think about all of the projects you’ve done, all of the expectations you’ve exceeded, and all of the times you’ve gone above and beyond what was asked of you.

“If you want to make more money, you’ve got to prepare them for that fact,” said career expert J.T. O’Donnell.

Once you can justify a pay increase, you can sit down with your manager, present all of the ways you’re adding additional value to the company, and ask for a promotion.

However, most people aren’t ready to receive a promotion when they want one, according to O’Donnell. In that case, you STILL want to have a conversation with your manager, only the goal will be to ask what you need to do in order to earn a promotion in the future. That way, you can work together to figure out the best way to make this happen.

So, if you haven’t been promoted at work, even if you’re working your butt off, you need to be proactive and ask for one. If you’re not ready for one, work with your manager to figure out what you need to do to earn one.
