The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), has released its 2026/2027 primary undergraduate admission list. Candidates who applied for admission can now check the published list to see whether the university has offered them provisional admission.
UNN has also published instructions explaining how successful candidates should accept their offers, pay the acceptance fee and complete the university’s online acceptance process.
Candidates should check the official admission list and confirm their status on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board’s Central Admissions Processing System (JAMB CAPS). Finding your name on the list is an important step, but you must complete the required procedures to regularise your admission.

This article focuses on the primary undergraduate admission list for UTME candidates.
You can access the official list through the university’s website:
Candidates should use the correct list for their admission category and confirm their status through JAMB CAPS.
How to Check the UNN Admission List 2026/2027
Follow these steps to check whether UNN has offered you admission.
- Visit the official UNN website at https://www.unn.edu.ng/.
- Open the notice titled “Breaking News!!! 2026/2027 Primary Admission List.”

- Open the downloaded document.
- Search for your name or JAMB registration number.

If the document is lengthy, use the search function on your PDF reader to locate your name or registration number more quickly.
Check the spelling of your name and your programme carefully. If you cannot find your details, confirm that you downloaded the primary admission list rather than a Direct Entry or special-category list.
How to Confirm UNN Admission on JAMB CAPS
Candidates should confirm their admission status on JAMB CAPS even after checking the university’s published list.
To check your status:
- Visit the official JAMB e-Facility portal at https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/.
- Log in using your registered email address and password.
- Open the admission services on your dashboard.
- Select the option to check admission status or access CAPS.
- Select the relevant examination year if prompted.
- Open the Admission Status section.
- Review the result and follow the instructions displayed.
If JAMB CAPS offers you admission, confirm that the institution and programme match the offer you expect before accepting it.
UNN specifically instructs successful candidates to accept their admission on CAPS. Candidates who fail to accept their offers will not receive JAMB admission letters and will be treated as not admitted.
If your status still shows “Admission in Progress” or “Not Admitted,” continue checking your account and follow official university updates. Do not assume that an offer will automatically appear.
UNN Acceptance Fee for 2026/2027
UNN has set different acceptance fees for regulated and non-regulated undergraduate programmes.
| Programme Category | Acceptance Fee |
|---|---|
| Non-regulated programmes | ₦50,000 |
| Regulated programmes | ₦100,000 |
The university identifies Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, Nursing and Dentistry as regulated programmes subject to the ₦100,000 acceptance fee.
Candidates should confirm their programme category before making payment. Use the invoice generated through the official university portal and ensure that the payment details match your admission record.
Keep your payment evidence because you will need the relevant confirmation and invoice numbers to complete the next steps.
How to Pay the UNN Acceptance Fee
UNN has published a procedure for candidates who receive provisional admission.
Step 1: Accept Your Offer on JAMB CAPS
Log in to JAMB CAPS and accept your admission offer. Confirm the institution and programme before completing this step.
Step 2: Generate a Payment Invoice
Visit the official UNN website at https://www.unn.edu.ng/ or the university portal at https://unnportal.edu.ng/.
Log in using your JAMB registration number and follow the instructions to generate and download a payment invoice containing a Remita number.
Step 3: Pay the Acceptance Fee
Use the invoice to pay the applicable fee at a commercial bank, including UNN Microfinance Bank, as directed by the university.
Ensure that the bank enters the correct invoice number. After payment, obtain a confirmation slip containing your confirmation number and invoice number.
Do not discard the slip or rely solely on a verbal confirmation from the bank.
Step 4: Return to the UNN Portal
Visit the university website or portal again. Log in using your JAMB registration number, confirmation number and invoice number, as instructed by UNN.
Step 5: Print Your Admission Slip and Complete the Acceptance Form
After completing the required payment and portal steps, print your admission slip and fill out the online acceptance form.
Step 6: Complete Other Registration Requirements
Proceed with any additional fee payments and registration procedures displayed on the official UNN website.
Candidates should follow the university’s instructions carefully because paying the acceptance fee alone does not complete every admission and registration requirement.
What If Your Name Is Not on the UNN Admission List?
If you cannot find your name on the primary admission list, take the following steps:
- Confirm that you are checking the 2026/2027 list.
- Search the document using your name and JAMB registration number.
- Check your personal JAMB CAPS account for your current admission status.
- Confirm that your O’Level results are correctly uploaded to JAMB.
- Review your course requirements and ensure that you meet the relevant entry conditions.
- Monitor official UNN announcements for further admission updates.
UNN has separate lists for different categories of candidates. If you applied through Direct Entry or belong to another admission category, check the appropriate list instead of relying only on the primary UTME list.
Do not pay anyone who promises to add your name to the admission list or change your JAMB CAPS status. Only follow authorised instructions from the university and JAMB.
Important Requirements for Candidates Offered Admission
UNN states that its admission offers are provisional. The university may withdraw an offer if it later discovers that a candidate does not meet the minimum university, faculty or departmental entry requirements prescribed by the university’s Senate and published in the JAMB brochure.
This condition can apply even if the university discovers the problem during the candidate’s final year.
Candidates should therefore confirm that their qualifications and subject combinations satisfy the requirements for their admitted programmes. They should also ensure that their O’Level results are correctly recorded and that their admission details are accurate.
Keep copies of your admission slip, payment evidence, examination results and other relevant documents for clearance and registration.
