Admission Process Overview

Admission into an undergraduate programme at the university begins with candidates applying through either the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or Direct Entry (DE). After meeting the university’s cut-off mark and other eligibility criteria, candidates are invited to participate in the Post-UTME Screening Exercise. Successful candidates are offered provisional admission and are required to confirm their acceptance and complete registration before the commencement of academic activities.

  3. Step 3: Check your admission status on the admission portal.
