📌 What Does the UNILORIN Admission List Mean?

The UNILORIN admission list contains the names of candidates who have been offered provisional admission into various undergraduate programs for the 2025/2026 session. This provisional admission is first uploaded on the JAMB CAPS (Central Admissions Processing System) platform before it reflects on the school’s portal.

It is important to note that JAMB CAPS is the official platform where all admission processes are monitored and approved. Schools may recommend candidates, but only JAMB finalizes the offer. This ensures transparency and fairness in the admission process.

🔎 How to Check Your UNILORIN Admission Status on JAMB CAPS

Checking your admission status is quite straightforward. All you need is your JAMB registration details. Follow the steps below carefully:

1. Visit the JAMB e-Facility Portal
   Go to JAMB e-Facility.
2. Log in to Your Profile
   Enter your registered email address and password (the ones you used during JAMB registration).
3. Select “Check Admission Status”
   After logging in, locate and click the Check Admission Status option.
4. Click on “Access my CAPS”
   This will direct you to the JAMB CAPS dashboard.
5. Check Your Status
   • Under “Admission Status,” you will see one of the following:
     • ✅ Congratulations! You have been offered admission into UNILORIN.
     • ⏳ Admission in progress… Keep checking as more lists are released.
     • ❌ Sorry, No Admission has been Given Yet. Don’t panic; more batches may still be released.

📲 How to Accept or Reject Your Admission

If you are offered admission, the next step is to either Accept or Reject the offer:

• To Accept, simply click the “Accept Admission” button.
• To Reject, click “Reject Admission.”

Alternatively, you can accept admission via SMS using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile. Simply send “ACCEPT” or “REJECT” followed by your JAMB registration number to 55019 or 66019.

⚠️ Important: Failure to accept admission on CAPS means you have not officially secured the admission, even if your name appears on the school list. Always ensure you accept it immediately.

📝 After Accepting Admission – What Next?

Securing admission is just the first step. Here are the crucial things you must do afterward:

1. Print Your JAMB Admission Letter
   This serves as an official confirmation of your admission.
2. Print Your Original JAMB Result Slip
   Some schools require this during clearance.
3. Pay the Acceptance Fee
   Once UNILORIN uploads your admission details on its portal, you’ll need to pay an acceptance fee to confirm your place.
4. Proceed with Clearance and Registration
   • Upload necessary documents (O’level results, birth certificate, local government certificate, etc.).
   • Attend physical clearance when scheduled.
5. Get Ready for School Life
   Prepare your accommodation, course materials, and mindset for university life.

⚠️ Common Problems Students Face and Their Solutions

• Admission Status Shows “Not Admitted”
  → Don’t panic. UNILORIN releases admission in batches. Keep checking regularly.
• Change of Course Request

• Inability to Log in to JAMB CAPS
  → Use a desktop computer or switch your phone browser to desktop mode.
• O’Level Results Not Uploaded
  → Ensure your WAEC/NECO results are uploaded on the JAMB portal. If not, visit a JAMB CBT centre to fix this immediately.
