> Drawing-up of Mobilisation Time-table:
The time-table is usually unveiled during the Pre-mobilisation workshop with Students’ Affairs Officers and the NYSC Management.
The time-table serves as a guide in the implementation of the mobilisation exercise.
> Pre-Mobilisation Workshop:
The Department conducts a Pre-Mobilisation Workshop to commence the mobilisation process of the service year.
At the workshop, the Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs) and other stakeholders interface with the Management of the NYSC on the mobilisation policies, appraise the previous mobilisation exercise and proffer solutions on the way forward
> Briefing of Corps Producing Institutions:
The Department conducts briefing for prospective corps members in their respective institutions during the first semester of their final year.
This is aimed at passing relevant/requisite information on NYSC with a view to ensuring a hitch-free mobilisation exercise/service year
> Submission/uploading of Senate/Academic Board Approved Results for full/part time graduates and revalidation lists by Corps Producing Institutions:
In line with the approved mobilisation time-table, Corps Producing Institutions are expected to submit/upload the Senate/Academic Board Approved results for their full-time/part-time graduates, including the revalidation lists to the Mobilisation Division of the Department for vetting/screening.
This happens as part of the major activities of the mobilisation process.
> Mobilisation of locally and foreign-trained Nigerian graduates:
After the uploading of all corrected submissions from the CPIs, all foreign and locally trained prospective corps members are expected to go to the NYSC portal and register on-line according to the time-table using their names, functional e-mail address, passwords and JAMB numbers for all those who studied a full-time programme in Nigeria.
Following the self-deployment initiative, they have the opportunity to give state from different geo-political zones out of the states available to them on the platform and they could be deployed to one of the four states by the computer. A successful registration process originates a call-up number and subsequently a Call-up letter which is printed on-line by the prospective corps members where the prospective corps member subscribed for such. Those who do not subscribe pick their call-up letters in their institutions.
Complaints and challenges arising during the registration process are entertained by the Corps Mobilisation and ICT Department as well as NYSC State Secretariats using dedicated help lines.
> Evaluation of credentials of foreign-trained graduates:
After the uploading of credentials by the foreign-trained graduates during registration, Evaluation Officers electronically check the documents and only those found okay are passed for issuance of call-up numbers. Subsequently, they are called-up and deployed to the various states where they report to the orientation camps. It is at the camps that physical verification of all documents uploaded by these group of prospective corps members is conducted by a team of experienced staff of the department.
> Relocation of corps members
With the full computerisation of the operations of mobilisation, relocation exercise is done on-line. During the on-line registration exercise, the platform provides opportunities for married women and people with life-threatening ailments not only to indicate their status.

Concluding on this series
> Relocation of corps members
With the full computerisation of the operations of mobilisation, relocation exercise is done online.
During the on-line registration exercise, the platform provides opportunities for married women and people with life-threatening ailments not only to indicate their status but also upload their evidence and get automatically posted to their spouses’ places of domicile or health facilities respectively.
Nevertheless, corps members are given the opportunity to apply for relocation on marital or health grounds while in the orientation camps.
Relocation is done electronically. After the camp relocation, all other relocations are carried out three (3) months after the orientation course.
The corps members must apply online and the State Coordinators appropriately recommend on-line too before the relocations are effected.
However, as a policy, all relocations stop six (6) months into the service year
