What Fresh Students Need to Do Before Resumption

If you have been admitted into UAES for the 2025/2026 academic session and are yet to complete your processes, or if you are a fresher preparing for your first semester, the following steps are essential:

1. Accept Your Admission on JAMB CAPS

Every newly admitted student must log into the JAMB CAPS portal and accept the admission offer. This is a federal requirement and a prerequisite for any further registration at the university. Failure to do this can invalidate your admission.

2. Pay the Acceptance Fee

After accepting your admission on JAMB CAPS, the next step is to pay the university's acceptance fee through the official student portal. Keep the payment receipt, as it will be required for further processing.

3. Complete Your Online Registration

Once the acceptance fee is confirmed, you will be required to fill in your personal data on the portal, upload relevant documents, and complete your biometric data registration. This step is crucial for generating your student identity and matriculation number.

4. Prepare Your O'Level and Other Original Credentials

During physical clearance at the university, you will need to present the following documents for verification:

  1. O-level result (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB certificate or result slip)

  2. JAMB result slip

  3. Birth certificate or age declaration

  4. Local government identification letter

  5. Medical fitness certificate

  6. Passport photographs

  7. Bank tellers for all payments made

5. Pay Your School Fees

School fees must be paid before course registration is done. UAES processes all fee payments through the official student portal. Students are advised to pay on time to avoid late registration penalties.

6. Register Your Courses

Course registration is done online through the student portal. You will be guided by your department on the approved courses and programmes for your level. Consult your course adviser or department officer if you have any difficulties.

What Returning Students Should Note

Returning students typically have a slightly different process compared to freshers. For the 2025/2026 academic session, returning students were expected to resume alongside or shortly after fresh students and proceed with the following:

  1. Fee payment for the current session

  2. Course registration through the portal

  3. Attendance at departmental orientation and briefings

  4. Compliance with any outstanding clearance items from the previous session

Students who had outstanding academic issues, such as carry over courses, incomplete records, or pending financial obligations, were expected to resolve those before or immediately upon resumption.
