UNN 2026/2027 Admission Update: Candidates Given September 30 Deadline to Complete O’Level Upload

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) has issued an urgent admission notice to candidates seeking admission for the 2026/2027 academic session, directing those who have not completed their O’Level result uploads and validation to do so before the deadline. The latest development is coming as the university continues preparations for the 2026/2027 undergraduate admission exercise, with prospective students expected to ensure that their academic records are correctly uploaded and validated before the admission process progresses further. According to a notice published by the university, affected candidates have until midnight on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, to complete the required O’Level uploads and validations. The directive applies particularly to candidates who have not yet uploaded their results or who need to update information previously submitted. UNN said the latest notice is particularly important for candidates who fall into any of several categories. These include candidates who previously uploaded their WAEC results on the JAMB portal but now want to replace them with NECO results. It also covers candidates who want to combine WAEC and NECO results, as well as applicants who previously indicated that their results were Awaiting Result (AR) but now have their WAEC or NECO results available. Such candidates are expected to upload their results to the JAMB portal and subsequently validate the uploaded results on the UNN admission portal. The university stressed that the process must be completed before the September 30 deadline. The university also announced that the UNN Post-UTME registration portal will close on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. Candidates who are yet to complete their registration have therefore been advised not to wait until the final hours. This is particularly important for candidates who may still need to correct information, upload their O’Level results or complete other stages of the screening process. UNN’s official admission notice states that candidates should complete all necessary uploads, validations and registration procedures before the stipulated deadline. Candidates seeking admission into UNN for the 2026/2027 academic session should take the following steps:
1. Check their JAMB profile
Candidates should log into their JAMB profile and confirm that their O’Level results have been properly uploaded.
2. Validate the result on the UNN portal
Uploading a result on JAMB alone may not complete the process for UNN candidates affected by the latest notice. Candidates should also follow the university’s instructions for validating their results on the UNN admission portal.
3. Check their registration details
Applicants should carefully review the information they supplied during the admission screening registration and ensure that their details are accurate.
4. Complete any outstanding registration
Candidates who have not completed their Post-UTME registration should do so before the September 30 deadline.
5. Continue monitoring admission updates
After completing the necessary requirements, candidates should regularly check both their UNN admission portal and JAMB CAPS for further updates. Earlier in the admission cycle, UNN announced its 2026/2027 screening exercise for candidates who selected the university as their first-choice institution in the 2026 UTME and scored at least 160. The university’s initial registration window ran from July 15 to August 5, 2026. Candidates were also required to upload their O’Level results on both JAMB CAPS and the UNN portal within the specified period. The university also stated that candidates below the age of 16 by September 30, 2026, were not eligible to apply for the screening exercise. Direct Entry candidates who selected UNN as their first choice were also instructed to participate in the screening process. With the 2026/2027 admission exercise progressing, candidates are advised to rely on official UNN and JAMB platforms for information. Applicants should also be careful about individuals who claim they can guarantee admission, change admission status or manipulate JAMB CAPS. Candidates should never share sensitive login information or make payments into personal accounts in exchange for promises of admission. For UNN applicants, getting the basic requirements right is particularly important because incomplete or improperly uploaded O’Level information can affect the processing of an admission application. As the university continues with the 2026/2027 admission process, candidates who have completed their screening requirements will be watching for admission updates. Candidates should therefore keep checking their JAMB CAPS and UNN admission portal and ensure that their contact information remains accessible. The September 30 deadline is particularly important for applicants who still have outstanding O’Level uploads, validations or Post-UTME registration requirements. For now, UNN candidates should treat the latest notice as an urgent reminder: complete your outstanding requirements before the deadline and keep monitoring official admission channels for the next stage of the 2026/2027 admission exercise.
