The Shehu Shagari University of Education, Sokoto (SSUES), has once again opened its doors to a new set of students for the 2025/2026 academic session.Â
If you recently sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or applied through direct entry and chose SSUES as your preferred institution, here is everything you need to know about the admission list, how to check it, and what to do after your name appears.
How to Check the SSUES Admission List 2025/2026
There are two main methods for checking your admission status at Shehu Shagari University of Education, Sokoto. Both methods are reliable, and candidates are encouraged to use both for cross-confirmation.
Method 1: Check Through the SSUES Official Website
Open your web browser and visit the official SSUES website at https://ssues.edu.ng/.
Navigate to the "Admissions" section on the homepage.
Look for the link labelled "Admission List 2025/2026" or "Check Admission Status".
Enter your JAMB registration number or surname where required.
Click the search or submit button.
Your admission status will be displayed on the screen.
If the page is slow or unresponsive due to high traffic, try accessing the site during off-peak hours such as early morning or late at night.
Method 2: Check Through the JAMB CAPS Portal
Visit the JAMB website and log into your profile using your JAMB registration number and password.
On your dashboard, click on "Check Admission Status".
Select your chosen institution as Shehu Shagari University of Education.
Your admission status will appear. It will show either "Admitted", "Not Admitted", or "Pending".
If your status shows "Admitted", proceed to accept the admission by clicking the appropriate button on the CAPS dashboard.
Accepting your admission on JAMB CAPS is compulsory. Failure to do so means your admission may be withdrawn or given to another candidate.
What to Do After Your Name Appears on the SSUES Admission List
Finding your name on the admission list is only the beginning. Several important steps follow, and missing any of them could jeopardise your admission.
Step 1: Accept Your Admission on JAMB CAPS
As mentioned above, log into the JAMB portal and formally accept your admission offer. This must be done within the deadline set by JAMB. Do not assume that finding your name on the university's list is enough.
Step 2: Print Your Admission Letter
After acceptance, print your admission letter from the JAMB portal or from the SSUES portal if the university provides one separately. You will need this document throughout your registration process.
Step 3: Pay the Acceptance Fee
SSUES typically requires newly admitted students to pay an acceptance fee. Visit the university's official portal or bursary for the correct amount and payment instructions. Only pay into the official university account and keep your payment receipt.
Step 4: Proceed to Course Registration
After paying the acceptance fee, you will be required to register for your courses and programmes online or in person at the department. Your academic advisor or HOD's office will guide you through this stage.
Step 5: Attend the Orientation Programme
SSUES usually organises a compulsory orientation programme for fresh students before lectures begin. The orientation introduces you to university rules, facilities, academic expectations, and student life. Attendance is mandatory.
Step 6: Submit Required Documents for Screening
You will be required to submit original copies and photocopies of the following documents during the departmental or faculty screening exercise:
WAEC/NECO Result
Birth Certificate or Affidavit of Age
Local Government Identification Letter
Admission Letter
Passport Photographs
Medical Certificate
Failure to present any of these documents may lead to deferment of your screening, so ensure everything is in order before appearing at the screening venue.
