What to Do Before Resumption at FUTA
Before stepping on campus, a few things should already be settled. This saves you from unnecessary stress during the first week.
Confirm your admission on https://caps.jamb.gov.ng
Print your admission letter and notification slip
Pay your acceptance fee
Complete your school fees payment
You can cross-check fee details on the FUTA school fees schedule to avoid underpayment or errors.
FUTA Freshers Screening and Clearance Guide
Screening at FUTA is a process, not a one day event. You will move from one unit to another within your department and faculty.
You are expected to come along with:
JAMB admission letter
O’Level result (original or online printout)
Birth certificate
Certificate of origin
Acceptance and school fees receipts
Recent passport photographs
Be sure to make enough photocopies of the necessary documents and to take many passport photographs. Ask your department for guidance when you are not sure about the next step.
Course Registration and Academic Preparation
After successful clearance, the next step is course registration. This is done online through the student portal and must be completed before lectures become fully active.
Make sure you:
Confirm registered courses with your department
Print your course registration slip
Attend orientation programs scheduled for freshers
This step is important because errors in course registration can affect your exams later.
