UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN [UNILORIN] BEGINS PROGRAMME TRANSFER APPROVAL FOR 2026/2027 ADMISSION EXERCISE

The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has commenced the consideration and approval of programme transfers for candidates whose applications are being processed in the ongoing 2026/2027 admission exercise.

The development means that some candidates who may not meet the requirements for their initially selected programmes could be considered for admission into other eligible programmes within the university, subject to the institution’s admission requirements and available spaces.

UNILORIN COMMENCES 2026/2027 ADMISSION PROCESSING

The development comes as UNILORIN commenced the release of 2026/2027 admission offers on Monday, September 28, 2026.

Some admission offers are already being processed, particularly for Direct Entry (DE) candidates seeking admission into 200 Level.

As the admission exercise progresses, candidates are advised to pay close attention to their admission information and regularly monitor their status on both the university’s admission portal and the JAMB platform.

WHAT IS UNILORIN PROGRAMME TRANSFER?

Programme transfer consideration allows eligible candidates to be considered for another programme within the university when their initial programme choice cannot be processed based on the applicable admission requirements.

For candidates whose applications are being considered under another programme, the programme transfer information may provide an indication of the alternative course for which they are being considered.

Candidates should, however, note that programme transfer consideration does not automatically guarantee admission. Final admission remains subject to the university’s admission requirements, available spaces and the relevant admission procedures.

CANDIDATES ADVISED TO CHECK PROGRAMME TRANSFER STATUS

Candidates participating in the 2026/2027 UNILORIN admission exercise are advised to regularly check the Programme Transfer/Approval section on the university portal.

Candidates whose applications are being considered for a different programme should carefully review any information displayed and follow the instructions provided by the university.

Applicants should also continue monitoring their Regular Admission Status and Transfer Approval sections on JAMB CAPS.

This is particularly important as admission processing continues and institutions upload or update admission recommendations on the JAMB platform.

MONITOR BOTH UNILORIN PORTAL AND JAMB CAPS

Candidates should not rely on only one platform when monitoring their admission status.

The UNILORIN admission portal may provide information relating to programme consideration and transfer approval, while JAMB CAPS remains important for monitoring the status of admission recommendations processed through the central admission system.

Candidates are therefore encouraged to check both platforms regularly for updates.

Those who eventually receive admission offers should carefully review the programme and other admission details before proceeding with the required acceptance and registration procedures.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO UNILORIN CANDIDATES

Candidates are advised to remain patient as the 2026/2027 admission exercise continues.

Admission processing is carried out in stages, and the status of individual candidates may change as the university considers applications and processes admission recommendations.

Candidates who do not immediately see an admission offer should continue checking their status rather than assuming that they have not been considered.

Applicants should also ensure that their admission records and required credentials are properly updated and available where necessary.

Candidates are advised to rely on official UNILORIN and JAMB platforms for admission information and avoid unverified claims regarding programme transfers or admission offers.

As the admission exercise progresses, further candidates may receive admission offers or programme transfer updates based on the university’s ongoing admission processing.
