How to Apply for Shanahan University Post UTME Form 2026/2027

The application process for the Shanahan University Post UTME Screening Form for 2026/2027 is conducted online. Follow the steps below carefully:

  1. Go to the official Shanahan University admissions portal at https://apply.shanahanuni.edu.ng/login. Avoid outside websites that claim to sell or process the form on behalf of the university.

  2. New applicants should register by providing a valid email address and phone number. If you have applied to the university before, you may log in using your existing credentials.

  3. Provide your full name (as it appears on your JAMB registration), date of birth, state of origin, local government area, and contact details. Ensure all information matches exactly with your JAMB profile.

  4. Input your JAMB registration number, UTME score, and the subjects you sat for. The system may automatically retrieve your JAMB details for verification.

  5. Choose your preferred course of study and faculty. Confirm that your O-Level subjects satisfy the entry requirements for the programme you are applying for.

  6. Upload all required documents in the specified formats. Most portals accept JPEG, PNG, or PDF formats with file size limits, so compress your files if necessary.

  7. Proceed to the payment section and pay the stipulated Post UTME application fee via the available payment channels (bank transfer, debit/credit card, or online payment gateway). Keep your payment receipt as proof of transaction.

  8. After successful payment and submission, print your acknowledgement slip or screening timetable. This document will be required at the screening venue or for online verification.

Useful Tips for Shanahan University Post UTME Candidates

Gaining admission into Shanahan University requires more than just paying for the form. Here are practical tips to improve your chances:

1. Score Well Above the Cut Off

A JAMB cut off mark of 180 is the minimum, but admission is competitive. Candidates with scores of 200 and above have stronger chances, particularly for popular courses like computer science, mass communication, and accounting.

2. Prepare Thoroughly for the Screening Test

If Shanahan University conducts a CBT as part of the screening, study relevant past questions. Focus on the English language, general knowledge, and any particular subject areas related to your course.

3. Present Complete and Authentic Documents

Document forgery or submission of incomplete credentials is one of the fastest ways to lose admission. Ensure every document you upload or present is authentic and up to date.

4. Apply Early

Do not wait until the deadline is close before registering. Early registration reduces the risk of missing out due to technical issues on the portal.

5. Select the Right Course

Choose a programme that aligns with your O-Level subjects. Applying for a course whose requirements your O-Level results do not meet is a wasted effort that can be avoided with a quick review of the entry requirements.

6. Monitor the Admission Portal Regularly

After the screening, check the Shanahan University admission portal regularly for the release of the admission list. Candidates who make the list will need to accept their admission through JAMB CAPS before proceeding with clearance and registration.
