Admission into Holy Family College, Oku-Abak, is open to only boys who have completed their elementary education. Such prospective candidates must take and pass the Diocesan Education Commission-organized Common Entrance Examination, which is usually conducted on dates fixed by the college during the second term of the school year, with a late entrance during the early weeks of the third term. Successful candidates would then go through a screening interview, which comprises oral and written tests. Successful candidates who would have met this and other requirements are offered admission. ==Examinations==

Students' performance and progress are determined through periodic tests, which include continuous assessment tests and terminal examinations. Each student must take an end-of-term examination, part of which was already covered in the pre-examination tests listed above. Promotion to a new class depends on good performance in these examinations. The Junior School Certificate Examination is organized by the Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Education and WAEC NECO JAMB. In order to prepare our students for external examinations, JSS3, SS2 & 3 classes, it is the policy of the college to organize mock examinations for the above classes in addition to external competitions within and outside Akwa Ibom State. ==Houses==
