How to Check UNILORIN Admission List 2025/2026 Online

1. What is an Admission List? – Definition & Importance

1.1 What the Admission List Means

The admission list is the official list of names of candidates offered admission into UNILORIN for the 2025/2026 academic session. It includes those who passed screening, verified their documents, met cut‑offs etc.
It is provisional — meaning the offer may depend on final verification of results, fees, other requirements.
The list is usually released in batches (first batch, second batch, possibly more, including a supplementary or VC list). That is because not all names are ready at the same time.

1.2 Why It Matters to Check

To know if you have been offered admission. Without checking, you won’t know.
To accept the offer via JAMB CAPS. If you don’t accept, even if your name is on list, admission may be lost.
To prepare for next steps: print admission letter, clear documents, pay acceptance fees, register courses, matriculate.
To avoid delays or missing deadlines.
To confirm that the course offered is what you applied for, or if you need to do course change.

3. When UNILORIN Admission List 2025/2026 is Usually Released & Batches

Knowing approximate timings helps you wait patiently and plan.

After UNILORIN completes its screening / Post‑UTME / Direct Entry screening for UTME & DE applicants, it collates results, verifies O’Level, checks subject combinations etc. Once all that is done, the admission list is prepared.
The first batch often appears a few weeks after the screening. Then subsequent batches follow as more names get approved or processed.
In past years, lists have been uploaded both on the UNILORIN portal and on JAMB CAPS.
Sometimes there is a delay between when the school portal shows your name and when the JAMB CAPS portal shows status. Be patient and check both.

4. What You Need Before Checking (Requirements)

Make sure you have these so the check goes smoothly:

What You Need	Why It Is Important
JAMB registration number	It identifies you on both UNILORIN portal and JAMB CAPS.
Surname / Full name as used during application	The portal often asks for surname + registration number to retrieve status correctly.
Internet‑enabled device (phone / laptop / tablet)	To access portals and login.
Stable internet connection	To avoid errors or partial page loads.
Login credentials to JAMB CAPS	To access JAMB’s “Check Admission Status” and to accept offer.
Access to UNILORIN portal	Some status may be visible only via school portal.
Correct spelling of names / exam year / subject combination uploaded earlier	If any info is wrong, portal may fail to find your record.

5. Step‑by‑Step How To Check UNILORIN Admission List Online Overview

Here are detailed methods, with steps, to check your admission status for UNILORIN 2025/2026.

5.1 Method 1: Checking via UNILORIN School / UNILORIN Portal

UNILORIN maintains an online portal for prospective students. After admission list is ready, you can check your status there.

Steps:

Open a browser (phone or laptop) and go to the official UNILORIN admission / Post‑UTME portal. This may be uilugportal.unilorin.edu.ng/putme_login.php or a portal under portal.unilorin.edu.ng. (
On the portal, find the “Login / Sign in” area.
Enter your JAMB Registration Number and Surname (exactly as used during registration / screening).
If prompted, select your exam year (2025) or other required options.
Click Login or Submit.
Once logged in, look for a link or tab that says “Check Admission Status”, “Admission List”, “Admission Status” etc.
Click on it. The portal will display whether your name is among those offered admission. If yes, you should also see your course, sometimes faculty, and instructions for next steps (acceptance, payment etc.).
If your status says “Not Admitted”, “Admission in Progress”, or something like that, don’t panic—might be later batch.

Tips:

Use a browser with “Desktop View” if you are on a mobile device, because some parts of portal may be hidden or not fully visible.
Clear your browser cache if the portal is not loading properly.
Use correct details; mismatches cause “no record found”.

5.2 Method 2: Checking via JAMB CAPS (Central Admission Processing System)

Almost all Nigerian universities now use JAMB CAPS for official admission status, so this is essential.

Steps:

Go to JAMB’s E‑Facility Portal: https://portal.jamb.gov.ng/efacility/ or similar official JAMB site.
Log in using your email address / username and password that you used for JAMB registration.
Once logged in, find “Check Admission Status” or “Admission Status” in the menu. If you do not see it, sometimes you have to click something like “Access my CAPS”.
Select the relevant examination year (2025).
Enter your JAMB registration number again, and any other required field.
Submit / click Check.
Possible outcomes:
- You see “Congratulations! Admission has been offered.”
- You see “Admission in Progress” (meaning school has recommended your name to JAMB but final approval or processing is ongoing).
- You see “Not Admitted Yet” or nothing yet.
If offered admission, you will often see buttons or options in CAPS to Accept or Reject the admission. You must accept if you want to lawfully matriculate.

Tips

Use desktop mode if using mobile device because CAPS features sometimes don’t display fully in mobile view.
Ensure your O’Level results are uploaded to JAMB, else some portals may reject or withhold your status.

5.3 Method 3: Other Supporting Methods (SMS, Email, Noticeboard etc.)

Besides the two main portals, there are supporting ways to know or confirm your admission:

UNILORIN email or SMS notifications: Some admitted students get text messages or email notifying them they have been offered admission.
School noticeboard / UNILORIN announcements page: Sometimes UNILORIN publishes lists in PDF or table form on its official website’s News / Admission section.
Social media or accredited channels: UNILORIN’s official social media pages may announce batch releases. But always confirm with official portals.
