UNILAG admission usually involves more than one stage. Candidates may first check their Post-UTME result, while the actual admission offer is processed through the university and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). For the 2026\/2027 admission exercise, UNILAG has advised prospective candidates to rely on its official communication channels for admission updates. The university has also released the 2026\/2027 Post-UTME results. This guide explains how to check UNILAG admission status online, how to check through JAMB CAPS, what different admission messages mean and what to do after receiving an admission offer. What You Need to Check Your UNILAG Admission Status Before checking your admission status, have the following information available: It is also useful to have your examination details available in case you need to confirm information during the process. How to Check UNILAG Admission Status Through JAMB CAPS One of the most important places to check your UNILAG admission status is the JAMB portal. This is because admission offers are processed through JAMB CAPS. Step 1: Visit the JAMB Portal Open your browser and visit the official JAMB e-Facility portal. Log in using the details associated with your JAMB account. Step 2: Select &#8220;Check Admission Status&#8221; After logging in, look for the option to Check Admission Status. Select it to access your admission information. Step 3: Access JAMB CAPS Select the option to access your Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). CAPS is the system used by JAMB to manage admission offers from Nigerian tertiary institutions. Step 4: Check Your Admission Status Inside CAPS, select Admission Status. Your status may show one of several messages. For example, you may see: The message you see depends on the stage of the admission process. What Does &#8220;Not Admitted&#8221; Mean on JAMB CAPS? If your JAMB CAPS currently says Not Admitted, it does not necessarily mean that you will never be admitted to UNILAG. Admission processes can take time, and institutions may release admission offers in stages. If you are still waiting for UNILAG admission, continue checking your JAMB CAPS and official UNILAG announcements. You should also make sure that your O&#8217;Level result has been uploaded correctly to JAMB CAPS if required. UNILAG specifically reminded 2026\/2027 UTME candidates that uploading their WAEC, NECO, GCE or Cambridge O&#8217;Level results to JAMB CAPS and the UNILAG portal was compulsory for consideration for admission. What Does &#8220;Admission in Progress&#8221; Mean? If your status says Admission in Progress, it generally means your admission is still being processed. You should not assume that the admission has been rejected. Continue checking your CAPS and following official UNILAG admission updates. Avoid paying anyone who claims they can &#8220;activate&#8221; or guarantee your admission. What Does &#8220;Congratulations, You Have Been Offered Admission&#8221; Mean? This is the message most admission seekers want to see. If JAMB CAPS shows that you have been offered admission, you should carefully review the details of the offer. You may then be required to accept or reject the admission through CAPS. UNILAG has previously instructed admitted candidates to log into JAMB CAPS, check their admission status and accept or reject an admission offer there. If you want the admission, make sure you accept it within the required period. How to Check Your UNILAG Admission Status on the UNILAG Portal Apart from JAMB CAPS, candidates should also monitor the official UNILAG website and relevant admission portals for updates. UNILAG&#8217;s official admissions section provides information about undergraduate admission and admission-related processes. For candidates who applied through the UNILAG application system, the university&#8217;s application portal allows applicants to continue an existing application using their reference number or UTME number and surname. The exact portal and login details can change depending on the admission exercise, so candidates should use the instructions published by UNILAG for their particular admission year. How to Check Your UNILAG Post-UTME Result It is important to understand that your Post-UTME result is not the same as your final admission status. UNILAG released the 2026\/2027 Post-UTME results and directed candidates to its Post-UTME result-checking platform. If you have not checked your Post-UTME result, you can use the result-checking information provided by UNILAG. Your Post-UTME score can help you understand your performance, but it does not by itself mean that you have been offered admission. Final admission depends on the university&#8217;s admission process and the relevant JAMB procedures. How to Know If UNILAG Has Offered You Admission The safest way to confirm your admission is to check the official channels connected with your admission. Look at: Do not rely solely on WhatsApp messages, Facebook posts, Telegram groups or unofficial admission websites. UNILAG has specifically warned prospective candidates to disregard information from unofficial sources and rely on its official communication channels for admission-related information. What to Do After Getting UNILAG Admission Getting admission is only the beginning. Once you receive an admission offer, you may need to complete several additional steps. These can include: The exact requirements can vary by admission session. UNILAG&#8217;s published admission procedures show that admitted candidates may need to provide documents such as their JAMB admission letter, O&#8217;Level result, birth certificate, testimonial and other required documents during screening and registration. Documents You May Need After Admission Keep your important documents ready. These may include: Make sure your names are consistent across your documents. If there is a serious difference in your names or personal information, resolve the issue through the appropriate process before completing registration. What If UNILAG Has Not Offered Me Admission Yet? Do not panic if your admission status is still pending. Universities do not necessarily release all admission offers at once. If you have met the relevant requirements and the admission exercise is still ongoing, continue monitoring your status. Check JAMB CAPS regularly and monitor official UNILAG announcements. You should also make sure that your O&#8217;Level result and other required"}
