The UMYU Admission List for the 2025/2026 academic session lists candidates who have met the university's admission requirements and been offered admission to various undergraduate degree programmes.
If you applied for admission to UMYU through UTME or DE, we have explained everything you need to know about the admission list, how to check your admission status, what to do after being admitted, and frequently asked questions.
How to Check Your UMYU Admission Status
There are two reliable channels for confirming whether your name appears on the UMYU admission list: the official university website and the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) portal. It is advisable to check both, as one may update before the other.
Method One: Checking on the JAMB CAPS Portal
Visit the official JAMB CAPS portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng.
Log in using your registered JAMB email address and password.
On your dashboard, scroll down and locate the "Check Admission Status" option.
Click on it to view your current admission status for the 2025/2026 session.
Your status will display as either "Congratulations" (admitted), "Admission in Progress" (still being processed), or "Not Admitted".
If your status shows "Congratulations", it confirms that UMYU has formally offered you admission, and you can proceed to accept the offer directly on the portal.
Method Two: Checking on the UMYU Official Website
Visit the official UMYU website at https://collegeportal.umyu.edu.ng/.
Go to the News or Admissions section.
Locate the specific admission list relevant to your application (Merit, Second Batch, Supplementary, or Merged List).
Search for your name using your UTME registration number, as the lists are typically arranged with registration numbers alongside full names, gender, and assigned course of study.
Confirm the exact spelling of your name and the course you have been offered, as candidates are sometimes admitted into a programme different from their original choice.
What to Do After Confirming Your Admission
Finding your name on the UMYU admission list is only the beginning. Several additional steps must be completed promptly to avoid losing your provisional offer.
Step 1: Accept or Reject the Offer on JAMB CAPS
Log in to your JAMB profile and use the Check Admission Status feature to formally accept or reject the offer extended by UMYU.
This step is mandatory and must be completed within the deadline set by JAMB, as unaccepted offers risk being reassigned to other candidates.
Step 2: Pay the Acceptance Fee
Newly admitted students must make payment of their acceptance fee and print their admission letter through the Post UTME portal. This fee is not refunded and serves as confirmation of your intent to take up the offer.
Step 3: Upload Your O-Level Results
This is one of the most emphasised requirements across all batches of the 2025/2026 admission list.
UMYU has repeatedly stressed that candidates must upload their WAEC, NABTEB, or NECO results through the JAMB portal within one week of being admitted, warning that delays could lead to outright forfeiture of the admission slot.
Step 4: Handle Course Changes Where Applicable
Some candidates are offered admission into a course and programme different from what they originally applied for.
Candidates who were offered admission into programmes different from what they applied for are required to change to the offered programme through JAMB within one week.
Failing to act on this within the stipulated window can also result in losing the admission offer entirely.
Step 5: Print Your Admission Letter
Once your acceptance fee payment reflects on the portal, print your official UMYU admission letter. This document will be required during physical screening, clearance, and registration at the start of the academic session.
Step 6: Prepare for Departmental Screening and Registration
After securing your admission, the university will announce dates for physical screening and registration. Candidates are typically required to present original copies of their O-Level certificates, UTME result slip, admission letter, and acceptance fee payment receipt.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if my admission status shows "Not Admitted"?
A: If your status still shows "Not Admitted", remain patient and continue checking regularly, as the university may release additional admission batches. You should also ensure your O-level results have been uploaded to JAMB CAPS.
Q: Can I reject my admission offer on JAMB CAPS?
A: Yes. Candidates have the option to either accept or reject an admission offer on JAMB CAPS. However, rejecting an offer may affect your admission prospects for that admission cycle.
Q: Is uploading my O-level result to JAMB CAPS compulsory?
A: Yes. Candidates are expected to upload their O-Level result(s) to the JAMB CAPS portal. Failure to do so may delay or prevent the processing of admission.
Q: Does appearing on the admission list automatically complete my registration?
A: No. Being offered admission is only the first step. You must complete acceptance, clearance, payment of required school fees, and course registration before you become a fully registered student.
Q: What should I do if I cannot find my name on the admission list?
A: Ensure you meet the admission requirements, confirm that your O-Level results have been uploaded to JAMB CAPS, and continue checking both the UMYU portal and JAMB CAPS for updates, especially if supplementary lists are still being released.
