NYSC: Procedure for Orientation, Camp Registration

 REPORT TO CAMP

After getting all the necessary checklist items, you are good to go. It is good to arrive camp a day before if you can. There are some advantage to it. It reduces the stress of joining queue for almost anything you want to do. It also makes it easy for camp official to attend to you as there are few corp members to attend to. Camp officials are generally nice.

 ARRIVING AT CAMP

At the gate, a security operative will check your luggage in case you want to bring in prohibited items. You will be ask if you have any. Saying no puts you under the law when you are later found wanting. Another security operative will check your call up letter and your state NYSC orientation camp. If you are not supposed to be in that particular camp or you are using an old call up letter, you will be sent back.

 ACCOMMODATION

Some orientation camp give all PCM a code at the gate. Take it along with your bag and luggages to the accommodation stand. Write down your name and call up number in a book after providing your code given to you at the gate. The same information is entered into a form.

The form is also filled by other prospective corp members (PCM). You will have to wait for the names to be up to a particular number. The number of bed space per room is what is needed for that list to be full. If a room have 30 bed space, the list will be attended to when the names on it are up to 30.
