The Federal University of Lafia (FULAFIA), Nasarawa State, has officially released its much-anticipated admission list for the 2025/2026 academic session. This important update marks the beginning of a new academic journey for thousands of aspiring undergraduates who sat for the university’s post-UTME screening exercise.

With this release, candidates who applied for admission into the institution can now confirm their admission status and take the next steps toward becoming bona fide students of one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing federal universities.

What the FULAFIA Admission List Means

The FULAFIA admission list contains the names of candidates who have been offered provisional admission into various undergraduate programmes for the 2025/2026 academic session. This provisional offer is subject to further clearance and registration processes that will take place at the university.

Being on the list means a candidate has successfully scaled through the rigorous admission process, which includes the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) procedures as well as the university’s internal screening and departmental requirements.

How to Check the FULAFIA Admission List

Candidates who participated in the admission exercise can check their status through the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). Below are the detailed steps:

1. Log in to your JAMB CAPS portal using your registered email and password.
2. Select Check Admission Status from the available options.
3. Click on Access CAPS to proceed.
4. Navigate to the Admission Status tab to view your result.
5. If admitted, you will see a congratulatory message alongside your details, such as your photograph and course of study.
6. If your admission is still pending, the portal will display the message “Sorry, No Admission Has Been Given Yet.”

Candidates are strongly encouraged to keep checking regularly, as admission lists are often released in batches.

Important Instructions for Admitted Candidates

For candidates who have been successfully admitted into FULAFIA for the 2025/2026 academic session, the following guidelines are important:

• Accept or Reject Admission: Once admitted, you must choose to either accept or reject the offer through the JAMB CAPS platform. This action can also be completed via SMS by sending the word ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
• Deadline for Acceptance: Candidates have a maximum of four weeks to accept their admission offer. Failure to do so may lead to automatic withdrawal of the offer.
• Print Your Admission Letter: After accepting the admission, candidates should immediately print their JAMB admission letter, which will be required during clearance and registration at the university.
• Course and Department Verification: Ensure that the course offered aligns with what was applied for. If there is any discrepancy, candidates are advised to seek clarification from the university’s admission office.

Tips for Checking Admission on Mobile Devices

Some candidates who attempt to check their admission status with a mobile phone may experience difficulties due to display issues. To solve this, enable desktop site mode on your browser (for example, in Chrome, select “Request Desktop Site”). This ensures all options on the JAMB CAPS page, including “Check Admission Status,” are visible.

Next Steps After Admission

Gaining admission into FULAFIA is just the first phase. Newly admitted students are expected to:

1. Pay the Acceptance Fee: Details of the payment procedure will be communicated by the university.
2. Complete Clearance Procedures: This includes document verification, birth certificate checks, academic transcript reviews, and other official processes.
3. Proceed to Full Registration: After clearance, students will register for their courses within their respective faculties and departments.
4. Prepare for Resumption: Students are advised to stay updated on the university’s academic calendar and prepare adequately for the commencement of lectures.

What Non-Admitted Candidates Should Do

For candidates who have not yet been offered admission, there is no need to panic. Admission into universities like FULAFIA is typically released in phases. You should:

• Keep checking the JAMB CAPS regularly.
• Ensure that your O’Level results are correctly uploaded on the JAMB portal.
• Remain patient, as further batches may still include your name.
