The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has officially activated its Post-UTME registration portal for the 2026/2027 academic session, inviting suitably qualified candidates who selected the institution as their first-choice university in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to begin their admission screening registration.

As one of Nigeria’s most sought-after universities, UNILAG continues to attract thousands of admission seekers annually due to its reputation for academic excellence, quality research, and vibrant campus life. Prospective candidates are therefore advised to complete their registration within the stipulated period and ensure that they meet all admission requirements.

Registration Period

According to the admission guidelines released by the university, online registration for the 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening exercise commenced on Monday, 15th June 2026 and will close on Wednesday, 8th July 2026.

Candidates are encouraged not to wait until the closing date before completing their registration to avoid network issues and other challenges that often arise during the final days of registration.

– Candidates must have chosen the University of Lagos (UNILAG) as their first-choice institution in the 2026 UTME.
