COOI OPENS 2026/2027 SUPPLEMENTARY ADMISSION AS APPLICATION DEADLINE APPROACHES

Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University has announced supplementary admission for the 2026/2027 academic session, giving eligible candidates another opportunity to seek placement in available programmes before the stated October 23 deadline. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Anambra State, has opened its supplementary admission exercise for prospective undergraduate students seeking admission for the 2026/2027 academic session. According to an announcement published on the university’s official website on October 19, applications opened at noon on October 17 and are scheduled to close at 11:59 p.m. on October 23, 2026. The exercise is intended for candidates who registered for the university’s Post-UTME screening but have not already secured admission into a department at the institution. The university has advised eligible applicants to review the requirements carefully and complete the process within the advertised period. According to the university’s notice, candidates must have participated in the relevant 2026 UTME and satisfied the entry requirements for their intended programmes.
The stated minimum UTME score is:
– 150 and above for non-professional programmes.
– 200 and above for professional programmes marked with an asterisk in the university’s published list.
Applicants must also possess the required entry qualifications and have selected the appropriate UTME subjects for their intended courses. The university’s notice states that the exercise is not for candidates who have already been admitted into a department at COOU. Meeting the minimum score does not automatically guarantee admission. Candidates must still satisfy the relevant programme requirements and complete the prescribed admission procedures. The supplementary admission notice lists programmes across several academic areas, including sciences, management, engineering, education and the humanities. The published list includes Accounting, Business Administration, Computer Science, Criminology and Security Studies, Economics, English Language, Mass Communication, Political Science, Sociology and other programmes. It also includes technology-related courses such as Cyber Security, Data Science, Information Technology and Software Engineering, some programmes carry the higher minimum UTME score specified by the university. Candidates should consult the official list to confirm which courses are available and whether they meet the requirements for their preferred programme. They should not assume that every course is available to every applicant. The university’s announcement directs eligible candidates to its applicant portal, candidates who have already completed Post-UTME registration should sign in to their applicant dashboards and select the supplementary admission option where available. Applicants should review the displayed programmes and select only a course they are willing and qualified to study, they should carefully check the information presented before completing any required payment and confirm that their chosen programme appears correctly on their dashboard. Candidates who have not completed the necessary Post-UTME registration should first follow the university’s instructions for satisfying that requirement. Applicants should use the official university portal rather than unofficial websites or links circulated on social media. The university has also reminded applicants to monitor their JAMB Central Admissions Processing System accounts. Candidates who receive a transfer approval to another programme should follow the instructions provided through the official admission process. They must also complete any required change of course on JAMB CAPS and ensure that their O’Level results are properly uploaded. These steps are important because admission processing involves both the university and the relevant JAMB procedures. Candidates should check their admission status regularly and retain evidence of completed transactions. The university’s published notice gives October 23, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. as the closing time for the supplementary admission exercise. As of October 20, the advertised deadline is approaching, eligible candidates should consult the university’s official announcement immediately to confirm the application process and complete any outstanding requirements. Applicants should not assume that the university will extend the deadline unless a further official announcement is issued. Supplementary admission can provide another opportunity for eligible candidates who have not secured placement, but applicants must understand the requirements before selecting a programme. They should confirm their UTME score, subject combination, O’Level qualifications and eligibility for their preferred course. Candidates should also monitor JAMB CAPS and the university’s official communication channels for updates.
