1️⃣ Pay Your Acceptance Fee
- UNIMED requires admitted candidates to pay an acceptance fee within 48 hours of being offered admission.
- This fee is a mandatory first step—it confirms that you have accepted the admission and will be joining the institution.
- Failure to pay within the stipulated time could result in losing your admission.
2️⃣ Accept Admission on JAMB CAPS
- Log in to the JAMB CAPS portal with your JAMB profile details.
- Locate your admission status and click on “Accept Admission.”
- This step is compulsory, as JAMB must validate all admissions offered by universities in Nigeria.

- This document will be required during your clearance and registration at UNIMED.
4️⃣ Prepare for Clearance & Registration

- You will need documents such as your JAMB admission letter, O’level results, birth certificate, local government identification, and payment receipts.
📌 What If You Are Not Admitted Yet?
If your name is not on the first batch admission list, don’t panic. Universities usually release admission lists in batches. UNIMED may release:
- First Batch (Merit List) – For candidates who scored highest in both JAMB and Post-UTME.
- Second Batch (Supplementary List) – For candidates who meet requirements but were not in the first batch.
- Third Batch (Final Mop-Up List) – For candidates filling up remaining spaces.
👉 So, keep checking both the UNIMED portal and your JAMB CAPS regularly.
📌 Important Tips for Newly Admitted UNIMED Students
- Be Financially Prepared – Beyond the acceptance fee, you’ll also need to pay tuition fees, accommodation fees, and other charges. Start preparing early.
- Sort Out Accommodation – UNIMED is located in Ondo City. If you plan to stay on-campus, apply for hostel accommodation early, as spaces are limited.
- Prepare Your Documents – Ensure that your O’level results are complete, with at least 5 credits in relevant science subjects including English and Mathematics.
- Get Ready Academically – Medical and health-related courses require intense study. Start building strong reading habits before lectures begin.
- Stay Updated – Follow official UNIMED updates through the school’s website and reliable platforms like Myschool, as false information circulates easily among students.
📌 Why This Admission Matters
Getting into UNIMED is not just about gaining admission into a university; it is about joining one of the best platforms in Nigeria to pursue a career in the health sciences. The world is facing increasing demand for skilled medical professionals, and institutions like UNIMED are at the forefront of training the next generation of doctors, nurses, and researchers.
