Abia State University (ABSU) formally presents the 2025/2026 Admission list, marking a significant milestone for our prospective students.

The University Management, under the leadership of the Registrar, has officially released the first batch of successful candidates offered provisional admission into our various undergraduate programmes.

ABSU Admission List for the 2025/2026 Academic Session

Abia State University (ABSU) has started offering provisional admission to candidates who applied for its Post UTME screening exercise.

This is, however, seen as the first batch admission, so it doesn't just end at this. The supplementary list will also be released after the primary admission list.

Candidates whose names are on the admission list are strongly advised by the management to accept their admission on the JAMB CAPS, print their JAMB admission letter, and also print the admission letter from the ABSU Portal.

The first thing to do after being offered admission into Abia State University is to log in to the JAMB CAPS portal and accept the admission offer.

Accepting the admission confirms that you are willing to proceed with the admission. Without accepting it on JAMB CAPS, you may not be able to continue with the school registration process.

2. Print Your JAMB Admission Letter and Result Slip

After accepting your admission, print the following documents from the JAMB CAPS:

  1. JAMB Admission Letter

  2. Original JAMB Result Slip

These documents are required during clearance and departmental registration.

3. Visit the ABSU Admission Portal

After accepting the offer on JAMB CAPS, visit the official Abia State University Admission Portal to continue your admission process. On the portal, you may be required to:

  1. Generate an acceptance fee invoice

  2. Pay the acceptance fee

  3. Fill in biodata information

  4. Upload required documents

This step is necessary to confirm your admission with the university.

4. Pay the Acceptance Fee

All newly admitted candidates are required to pay the acceptance fee within the stipulated period. Failure to pay the acceptance fee on time may result in losing the admission offer.

After payment, print the acceptance fee receipt for reference during clearance.

Course registration is an important academic requirement, and students must complete it within the university’s registration period.

8. Apply for Hostel Accommodation (Optional)

Students who wish to stay on campus can apply for hostel accommodation through the university portal after payment of school fees.
