What to Do After Your Name Appears on the SSU Admission List

Getting your name on the admission list is a major milestone, but there are several important steps you must complete before you become a fully registered SSU student.

  1. Log into the JAMB CAPS portal and formally accept your admission offer. Failure to accept within the deadline could result in the offer being withdrawn.

  2. After accepting your offer, print out your JAMB admission letter from the portal. This document is required for screening.

  3. SSU will require you to pay an acceptance fee on the university's student portal. The fee amount is announced by the institution. Do not make payment to any unofficial account.

  4. Log into the SSU student portal to obtain and fill out the required admission forms. Ensure all information is accurate and matches your original documents.

  5. SSU conducts a document verification and clearance exercise for all newly admitted students. You will be required to present the original copies and photocopies of the following documents:

    Document Required

Common Reasons Candidates Are Not Admitted

Many candidates who meet the minimum requirements still do not appear on the admission list. Here are the most common reasons:

  1. Scoring below the internal departmental cut off mark even when the general JAMB minimum is met

  2. Choosing SSU as a second choice institution and scoring below the threshold reserved for second choice candidates

  3. Incomplete or falsified O-Level results at the time of Post UTME registration

  4. Failure to sit for or complete the SSU Post UTME screening exercise

  5. The number of applicants for a particular course far exceeding the available admission slots

  6. A mismatch between the JAMB registered course and the O-Level subjects presented
