AKWA-IBOM STATE COLLEGE OF NURSING RELEASES ADMISSION LIST ON SCHOOL PORTAL FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION


Akwa Ibom State College of Nursing Sciences (AKSCONS) Releases 2025/2026 Admission List

The management of the Akwa Ibom State College of Nursing Sciences (AKSCONS) has officially announced the release of the 2025/2026 academic session admission list. This marks another milestone in the institution’s commitment to training competent and compassionate health professionals to serve across Nigeria and beyond.

According to the official statement from the College, prospective students can now check their admission status via the College’s website. The announcement brings great excitement to many aspiring nurses who have been eagerly awaiting confirmation of their admission into one of the leading nursing institutions in the country.


How to Check Admission Status

The management advises all applicants to carefully follow the steps below to confirm their admission status:

  1. Visit the official AKSCONS website: www.akscons.edu.ng

  2. Click on the “Check Admission List” button.

  3. Select your preferred campus — as chosen during your application process.

  4. Browse through the list to find your name under the corresponding campus.

  5. If your name is not on any campus list, proceed to check the Floating List section.

The portal is now fully active and accessible to all candidates, ensuring transparency and ease in verifying admission results.


Understanding the Floating List

The Floating List section is specifically for successful candidates whose admission details are not yet reflected on the JAMB CAPS portal. This situation often arises due to one of the following reasons:

  • The candidate did not complete the Change of Institution process on JAMB.

  • The candidate did not initially select Akwa Ibom State College of Nursing Sciences (AKSCONS) as their first choice during UTME registration.

These candidates are strongly advised to visit the Admissions Office at the main campus (Ikot Ekpene) for verification and further guidance on the next steps.


Next Steps for Successfully Admitted Candidates

Candidates who find their names on the admission list—either under their chosen campus or on the floating list—are required to follow the outlined steps to secure their admission fully:

  1. Accept the Admission on JAMB CAPS:
    Starting from Tuesday, 11th November 2025, all admitted candidates must log in to their JAMB portal and click Accept Admission to officially confirm their offer.

  2. Obtain Your Provisional Admission Letter:
    Within 48 hours of acceptance, a provisional admission letter will be sent to the candidate’s registered email address or made available through the college portal.

  3. Pay the Acceptance Fee:
    Each admitted student must pay a non-refundable acceptance fee through the College portal to validate their provisional admission. Payment details and instructions are clearly stated on the website.

  4. Download and Print the Official Admission Letter:
    Upon successful payment of the acceptance fee, candidates can print their official admission letter. This document serves as evidence of admission and will be required during registration.

  5. Pay School Fees and Complete Registration:
    Candidates are advised to proceed immediately to pay their school fees and complete their registration as directed on the College portal.

  6. Prepare for Resumption:
    The resumption date will be clearly stated in each student’s admission letter. Candidates are encouraged to begin preparations early and ensure they meet all registration and accommodation requirements.


For Candidates on the Floating List

Candidates whose names appear on the Floating List are to report in person at the Admissions Office, Main Campus (Ikot Ekpene) on Wednesday, 12th November 2025, starting from 9:00 a.m.

During the visit, such candidates will be guided on how to regularize their admission status, including completing any pending Change of Institution process and verifying their credentials.

It is important that candidates bring along the following documents for verification:

  • A copy of their JAMB result slip

  • O’Level results (WAEC, NECO, or equivalent)

  • Application acknowledgment slip

  • Any relevant admission correspondence from AKSCONS

Failure to appear for verification within the stated period may result in forfeiture of the provisional offer.


Important Deadlines and Guidelines

The management emphasizes that all admission processes must be completed within two (2) weeks from the date of receiving the provisional admission letter.

Any admitted candidate who fails to meet this deadline—by not accepting the offer, paying the acceptance fee, or completing registration—risks losing the admission automatically.

All applicants are also advised to provide valid and active email addresses and phone numbers, as the College will use these channels for official communication and updates regarding registration, orientation, and resumption.

IGNATIUS AJURU UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION (IAUE) RELEASES POST-UTME ADMISSION FOR THE NEWLY APPROVED PROGRAMMES FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION


Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE) Opens Admission into Newly Approved Undergraduate Programmes for 2025/2026 Academic Session

The management of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE), Port Harcourt, has announced the commencement of admissions into its newly approved undergraduate programmes for the 2025/2026 academic session. This development provides an opportunity for both UTME candidates who initially selected IAUE as their first choice and those who wish to transfer to the university to pursue various newly introduced courses.

According to an official release by the university management, the new programmes were introduced to expand academic opportunities for students and to meet the growing demand for specialized training in key sectors such as agriculture, science, and management. These additions also align with IAUE’s mission to produce skilled graduates who can contribute to national development through practical knowledge and professional competence.


Newly Approved Degree Programmes

IAUE now offers a range of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) degree programmes across three major faculties. These programmes have been approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and are fully integrated into the 2025/2026 admission process.

1. Faculty of Agriculture

The Faculty of Agriculture now offers the following degree programmes:

  • B.Sc. Fisheries and Aquaculture

  • B.Sc. Soil Science

  • B.Sc. Animal Science

  • B.Sc. Crop Science

  • B.Sc. Agricultural Extension

  • B.Sc. Agricultural Economics

These programmes are designed to provide students with a strong foundation in modern agricultural practices, food production, and agribusiness management, with emphasis on sustainability and technological innovation.

2. Faculty of Management Sciences

  • B.Sc. Environmental Management

This programme focuses on environmental sustainability, waste management, and eco-friendly business practices — preparing graduates for careers in environmental consulting, policy development, and green entrepreneurship.

3. Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences

The university has introduced the following courses under this faculty:

  • B.Sc. Microbiology

  • B.Sc. Zoology

These science-based programmes aim to train students in research, laboratory techniques, and technological innovation. The inclusion of Information Technology reflects IAUE’s commitment to digital literacy and technological advancement in education and research.


Eligibility for Application

IAUE outlined specific eligibility requirements for interested candidates under two main categories:

a. Candidates Who Chose IAUE as First Choice

Candidates who did not originally choose IAUE but wish to study in the institution can also apply. Such applicants must have scored a minimum of 150 in the 2025/2026 JAMB UTME and possess the relevant O’level combinations.

However, these candidates must first complete a Change of Institution process on the JAMB website (www.jamb.gov.ng) to reflect IAUE as their first choice before applying. Once this is done, they will be considered for transfer into the newly approved programmes.


Method of Application

The university emphasized that all applications are to be completed online through the official university portal. Applicants are required to make a non-refundable payment of ₦15,000 (Fifteen Thousand Naira) only for the application form. Payments can be made using Visa, Verve, or MasterCard debit cards.

2025/2026 ADMISSION EXERCISE: JAMB EXTENDS PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES DEADLINE


You will recall that the 2025 Policy Meeting on Admissions, held on 18th July, 2025, under the chairmanship of the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, had fixed Friday, 31st October, 2025, as the deadline for all public universities to conclude their admission processes.

 

The Board commends the zeal, diligence, and commitment demonstrated by the various public universities toward meeting this approved timeline, which was intended to allow other tiers of tertiary institutions; the private universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and innovation enterprises institutions, to complete their respective admissions ahead of the overall closing date of 31st December, 2025.

 

However, owing to some emergent and compelling circumstances, the Board has found it necessary to extend the deadline for the completion of 2025 admissions into public universities from Friday, 31st October, 2025, to Monday, 17th November, 2025.

 

The decision to extend the timeline is anchored on two key considerations:

 

1. AVCNU has specially appealed for extension due to the disruption caused by a number of factors including a court order directing that status quo should remain on 2025/26 admission list, which was only clearly lifted by the same court on 28th October, 2025

 

2. In a bid to expand access in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the NUC on 29th October, 2025, released a list of 229 programmes recently accredited for 37 universities. Admission into those programmes are just being scheduled.

 

In light of these developments, and to ensure fairness and inclusiveness, the Board hereby extends the deadline for the completion of 2025 public university admissions to Monday, 17th November, 2025.

 

While expressing appreciation to all institutions for their tireless efforts and cooperation in meeting the initial target date, the Board wishes to emphasize that this new deadline is final and must be strictly adhered to.

 

The Board remains committed to ensuring a seamless, transparent, and credible admission process that aligns with national education goals and institutional autonomy.

Dr. Fabian Benjamin

OSUN STATE UNIVERSITY (UNIOSUN) RELEASES FINAL ADMISSION LIST FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION


Osun State University (UNIOSUN) Releases Final UTME Admission List for the 2025/2026 Academic Session

The management of Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has officially announced the release of the Final Admission List (UTME) for the 2025/2026 academic session. This marks the completion of the university’s admission exercise for the year, and it is great news for many applicants who have been eagerly waiting for their admission status.

According to a statement released by the university’s admission office, the final list contains the names of candidates who have been successfully offered Provisional Admission into various undergraduate programmes across all campuses of the institution. Candidates who took part in the UTME screening exercise and selected UNIOSUN as their choice of institution can now check their admission status through the Undergraduate Admissions Portal.

How to Check Your Admission Status

All prospective students are advised to visit the UNIOSUN Undergraduate Admissions Portal at 👉 https://admissions.uniosun.edu.ng to confirm their admission.

Upon accessing the portal, candidates are to log in using their JAMB Registration Number and password to view their admission status. Those who have been successfully admitted will see a congratulatory message along with their admission details, course of study, and faculty.

It is important that candidates carefully read through all the information provided on the admission page before proceeding to the next step of the process — acceptance fee payment and registration.

Acceptance Fee Payment Guidelines

All candidates offered provisional admission are required to pay a non-refundable acceptance fee of ₦50,000 (Fifty Thousand Naira only). This payment serves as a formal confirmation that the student has accepted the admission offer and intends to study at Osun State University.

The payment should be made strictly through the UNIOSUN Admissions Portal using the Remita Payment Platform, which is a secure and verified online payment gateway used by the university. Candidates are strongly advised not to make any payments through third parties or unofficial links to avoid fraud or complications.

To complete the payment successfully, candidates should:

Log in to the university’s admission portal.

Click on the “Pay Acceptance Fee” link.

Generate a Remita Reference Number (RRR).

Proceed to make payment online using a debit card, or visit any bank branch nationwide to complete the payment through Remita.

Print out the payment receipt and acknowledgement slip for record purposes.

Deadline for Acceptance Fee Payment

The university management has set Friday, November 7, 2025, as the deadline for payment of acceptance fees and completion of all admission-related registrations.

Candidates who fail to make their acceptance payment or complete the registration process on or before the stated deadline will automatically forfeit their provisional admission. The university has made it clear that there will be no extension of the deadline, as academic activities for the new session are scheduled to begin immediately after the admission process concludes.

Next Steps After Acceptance Fee Payment

After successfully paying the acceptance fee, admitted students are required to proceed with the following registration processes on the portal:

Payment of other related fees, including the development levy and ICT fees.

Uploading of required documents, such as O’Level results, birth certificate, local government identification, and JAMB admission letter.

Course registration for the semester once full registration opens.

Printing of the Admission Clearance Slip, which serves as proof of acceptance and will be needed during physical verification on campus.

The university also emphasizes that all admitted students must ensure that the names on their admission letter, JAMB result, and O’Level results match exactly, as discrepancies may lead to disqualification during clearance.

Forfeiture of Admission

UNIOSUN warns that any candidate who fails to comply with the payment and registration guidelines within the stipulated period will lose the admission offer, and such vacant spaces may be given to other qualified candidates on the waiting list.

In addition, students who make partial payments or fail to complete the online registration process will not be recognized as bona fide students of the university. The management therefore advises all admitted candidates to act promptly and carefully follow the instructions provided on the admission portal.

Important Reminders for Admitted Students

Check Your Email Regularly:

Candidates should constantly check their registered email addresses for official updates and important announcements from the university.

Print and Keep All Receipts:

Every payment made should be backed up with a printed receipt or acknowledgement slip, as these documents will be required during departmental and faculty verifications.

Beware of Fraudsters:

The university warns all candidates to beware of scammers who may pose as admission agents or university officials. All payments and communications should be done only through the official UNIOSUN portal or designated channels.

Adhere to Registration Deadlines:

Timely registration will help students avoid unnecessary penalties, late fees, or loss of admission.

UNIOSUN’s Commitment to Academic Excellence

Osun State University remains one of Nigeria’s top institutions recognized for its commitment to academic excellence, discipline, and innovation. With multiple campuses spread across Osogbo, Okuku, Ikire, Ifetedo, Ejigbo, and Ipetu-Ijesa, the university continues to uphold its vision of producing well-trained graduates equipped with the knowledge and character needed to contribute meaningfully to national and global development.

The university’s management expressed appreciation to all applicants for their patience throughout the admission process and congratulated those who have successfully gained admission. They also reassured students that the 2025/2026 academic session will be full of new opportunities for academic growth and personal development.

Words of Congratulations and Encouragement

To the newly admitted students, the university community extends warm congratulations on this achievement. Gaining admission into a competitive institution like UNIOSUN is a major milestone, and students are encouraged to take their studies seriously, uphold good conduct, and make the most of the resources available to them.

Students are also advised to familiarize themselves with the University’s Code of Conduct, attend the upcoming orientation and matriculation ceremonies, and get actively involved in academic and extracurricular activities that promote learning and leadership.

Conclusion

The release of the Final Admission List for the 2025/2026 Academic Session officially concludes the admission process for Osun State University. All successful candidates are urged to confirm their admission, pay their acceptance fees promptly, and prepare for the start of academic activities.

Failure to complete registration within the specified period will result in the loss of the admission offer — a situation the university hopes all candidates will avoid by acting responsibly.
