  2. Medical Screening and Orientation: Newly admitted students are typically required to undergo medical screening and an orientation programme before or during the registration period. Check official FUAMB announcements on the university's website (fuamb.edu.ng) for the exact schedule.

  3. Course Registration: Complete your registration between 8th and 23rd December 2025. Late registration (5–10 January 2026) attracts a financial penalty and may delay your access to certain academic services.
