  3. Pay the UNN Acceptance Fee: Log in to the UNN portal at unnportal.unn.edu.ng with your JAMB registration number, then generate and download your payment invoice. Take it to any commercial bank and pay the acceptance fee of ₦30,000. Collect your confirmation slip after payment. It will contain your confirmation number and invoice number

If your status shows "Not Yet Admitted", here is what to do:

  1. Keep checking regularly. More names are added with each batch. Your name may appear in the supplementary list.

  2. Upload your O-Level results immediately. If you applied with awaiting results, visit an approved JAMB CBT centre right away to upload them. Admission cannot be processed without this.
