Important Notice for Candidates Yet to Be Admitted

The University also informed applicants that JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) has been fully activated for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.

Candidates who are still awaiting admission are advised to monitor their CAPS regularly.

Verify Your O’Level Results

Applicants should ensure their O’Level results have been successfully uploaded on both:

• The JAMB CAPS Portal
• The IAUE Admission Portal

Candidates whose CAPS status still shows “Awaiting Result” will not be processed for admission until the required results are uploaded.

Monitor Admission Status

Candidates should frequently check their admission status on JAMB CAPS to know when they have been:

• Recommended for admission
• Offered admission
• Approved by JAMB

Once admission is approved, candidates should immediately accept the offer and proceed with printing their admission letter before completing the University’s clearance process.

Programme Transfer Approval

Candidates are also encouraged to monitor the Transfer Approval section on CAPS.

Where recommended for a different programme based on their UTME subject combination or O’Level qualifications, candidates must either:

• Accept the transfer recommendation to enable admission into the new programme; or
• Reject it if they prefer to retain their original course.

Failure to respond may delay admission processing.

Awaiting Result Candidates

Candidates awaiting O’Level results, including Direct Entry and JUPEB applicants, should upload both their O’Level and A’Level results immediately on the JAMB portal and the University’s portal to avoid disqualification.

How to Check Admission Status on JAMB CAPS

Candidates can check their admission status by following these steps:

• Visit the JAMB e-Facility portal.
• Log in using your registered email address and password.
• Click “Check Admission Status.”
• Select “Access My CAPS.”
• Click “Admission Status” to view your current admission status.

Candidates using mobile phones are advised to enable Desktop Site on their browser to access the complete JAMB CAPS interface.

The University urged all applicants to continue monitoring both the IAUE admission portal and JAMB CAPS for further updates as the 2026/2027 admission exercise progresses.
