The journey to gaining admission into any Nigerian university is always a mix of excitement, anxiety, and hope. For candidates who chose the University of Africa, Toru-Orua (UAT) as their institution of choice, there’s good news: the 2025/2026 admission list has officially been released on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
This means that successful candidates can now log in to their JAMB CAPS portal to confirm whether they have been offered admission. If you’re among those eagerly waiting to see your admission status, this post will serve as a comprehensive and easy-to-follow guide.
What Does It Mean That the Admission List is on JAMB CAPS?
When a school uploads its admission list to JAMB CAPS, it indicates that the admission process has entered an official stage. JAMB CAPS (Central Admission Processing System) is a platform introduced by JAMB to:
- Ensure fairness and transparency in the admission process.
- Give candidates control over accepting or rejecting admission offers.
- Prevent multiple admissions that may confuse students and schools.
So, if your admission status is available on CAPS, it means JAMB has validated your offer, and you now need to take the right steps to secure your space.
How to Check Your Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
Follow the steps below carefully to confirm your University of Africa admission status:
Step 1 – Visit JAMB e-Facility Portal
Go to the official JAMB portal via https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng.
Step 2 – Log In
Enter your registered email address and password used during JAMB registration.
Step 3 – Access CAPS
- On your dashboard, click “Check Admission Status.”
- Then click on “Access my CAPS.”
Step 4 – Check Admission Status
Click on “Admission Status” to see if you’ve been offered admission.
- If admitted, you will see a congratulatory message displaying your details, course, and institution.
- If not yet admitted, you may see:
- “Admission in Progress” – which means you should keep checking, or
- “Not Admitted” – meaning your name is not yet on the list but it may still change later.
What to Do After Checking Your Admission
Once you confirm your status on CAPS, the next actions are very important:
1. Accept or Reject the Offer
- To accept, simply click the ACCEPT button.
- To reject, click REJECT (only if you plan to wait for another institution).
Alternatively, you can also accept/reject via SMS:
- Text ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
⚠️ Important: If you fail to accept your admission within 4 weeks, the offer may lapse, and your slot could be given to someone else.
2. Print Your JAMB Admission Letter
Once you’ve accepted, return to your JAMB e-Facility portal and print your JAMB Admission Letter. This will be needed during your clearance, school registration, and even for NYSC mobilization after graduation.
3. Print Your Original JAMB Result Slip
This is also a requirement for clearance and must bear your passport photograph.
4. Proceed to the University of Africa Portal
After confirming on JAMB CAPS, visit the University of Africa, Toru-Orua (UAT) official portal to continue with internal admission processes such as acceptance fee payment, clearance, and registration.
Why You Might Not See Your Admission Yet
If you check your CAPS and do not see an admission offer, don’t panic. Some common reasons include:
- Admission is still being uploaded – Universities often release lists in batches.
- You have not met the cutoff mark for your course – Sometimes you may be offered another related course through the “Transfer Approval” option.
- Ongoing JAMB and School synchronization – It takes time for both systems to align perfectly.
In such cases, keep checking your CAPS regularly and also monitor announcements from the University of Africa’s official website and social media pages.
Tips for Mobile Users
Many candidates using mobile phones often complain that they only see a “Welcome” message on CAPS without the full menu. Here’s the solution:
- Open the JAMB CAPS page in Google Chrome Browser.
- Tap the three dots (⋮) at the top right corner.
- Select “Request Desktop Site.”
- Now, you will see the full CAPS options including Admission Status, Transfer Approval, and others.
