If you registered [Mass Communication](/jamb-subject-combination-for-mass-communication/) initially, but you meet the [Law requirements,](/jamb-requirements-for-law/) then you can proceed to apply for a **change of course**. ## How to Change Your Course - **Visit a [JAMB](https://www.jamb.gov.ng/) office** or an accredited CBT center. - Request for a **Change of Course/Institution form** (it costs about **₦2,500**). - Make sure you select a school where your new course is available and where your score fits their cut-off. - Complete the process and print out your confirmation slip. ## Important Advice for Precious and Other Candidates - **Think carefully** before changing — Law requires strong academic performance and hard work. - **Research the universities** that [offer Law](/list-of-universities-offering-law-in-nigeria/) and their requirements before applying. - **Act quickly**, because JAMB usually closes the change of course/institution portal a few weeks after results are released. ## Final Words Precious, if you meet the requirements for Law, **you can definitely change** from Mass Communication. Just be sure you qualify and act fast to avoid missing your chance. Wishing you the best as you plan your next move!
