Always confirm the exact figures for 2026/2027 directly on the admissions portal once the list is out, as fees can be reviewed from one session to another.
What Is the UNIOSUN Admission List?
The UNIOSUN Admission List is the official record of names of candidates who applied through JAMB and chose Osun State University, sat for the university’s Post-UTME screening exercise, and have been offered provisional admission into their chosen degree programmes.
It covers both UTME candidates and Direct Entry (DE) candidates, including those who came through the university’s own IJMB and JUPEB programmes.
Getting your name on the UNIOSUN Admission List does not automatically make you a fully registered student. It only means you have been offered a provisional slot. You still need to accept the offer, pay the required fees, and complete registration within the stated deadline — otherwise, the offer can be withdrawn.
How UNIOSUN Releases Its Admission List
Based on how Osun State University has handled recent admission cycles (including 2025/2026), the UNIOSUN Admission List is typically released in stages rather than all at once.
This is common across Nigerian universities because JAMB’s CAPS system allows institutions to admit candidates in rounds, based on available space and departmental quotas.
The usual pattern is: a Merit List (first batch), containing candidates who scored above departmental cut-off marks and met every other requirement; followed by a Supplementary List I, which fills spaces left unclaimed after some merit-list candidates declined or failed to accept on time; and sometimes a Supplementary List II, released to mop up any remaining vacancies in departments still under quota.
Please note: this staged release pattern is based on how UNIOSUN has operated in previous cycles, particularly 2025/2026. It has not been separately confirmed by the university as the exact pattern for 2026/2027, so treat it as a helpful guide rather than a guarantee.
Eligibility Requirements Before You Can Appear on the UNIOSUN Admission List
According to the official 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening notice published on UNIOSUN’s website, candidates must meet the following before they can be considered for the UNIOSUN Admission List:
- A minimum UTME score of 160 marks to sit for the screening exercise as a first-choice or changed-institution candidate.
- A minimum of 200 marks for candidates applying to Law, Nursing, or Islamic Law. Note that Medicine (MBBS) admission has been placed on hold for the 2026/2027 academic session.
- At least five (5) credit passes in SSCE, NECO, or NABTEB in relevant subjects, at not more than two sittings. For Medicine, Nursing, Islamic Law, and Law, the five credits must be obtained at one sitting.
- Candidates must be at least 16 years old as at 30th September 2026.
- Direct Entry candidates must hold a valid DE form from JAMB and must forward their academic transcripts to the Registrar of Osun State University not later than Friday, 4th September 2026.
- All candidates, including those on the UNIOSUN IJMB and JUPEB programmes, must complete the Post-UTME screening application.
Candidates should also note that admission is processed through JAMB’s Central Admission Processing System (CAPS), so uploading your O’Level results to your JAMB CAPS profile is compulsory before you can be considered for the UNIOSUN Admission List.
How to Check Your UNIOSUN Admission List Status 2026/2027
Here is a simple, step-by-step way to check whether your name is on the UNIOSUN Admission List:
- Visit the official portal at admissions.uniosun.edu.ng, the official UNIOSUN Undergraduate Admissions e-Portal.
- Choose your applicant category. The portal homepage shows two options — “New Applicants” and “Returning Applicants.” If you already registered for Post-UTME screening, click “Returning Applicants.”
- Log in with your details — your JAMB registration number and the password you created during registration.
- Check your admission status on your applicant dashboard, which shows whether you have been offered admission and into which programme.
- Confirm on JAMB CAPS as well, since final admission confirmation flows through JAMB’s Central Admission Processing System, not the university portal alone.
What to Do After Seeing Your Name on the UNIOSUN Admission List
Being listed is only the first step. To avoid losing your slot, follow these steps immediately: accept your admission on JAMB CAPS (compulsory, since missing the JAMB-stated window can lead to automatic forfeiture); pay your acceptance fee through the Remita WebPAY platform on the UNIOSUN admissions portal using a Verve, Visa, or Mastercard-enabled ATM card; print your admission letter and other required documents from the portal; complete registration before the deadline stated on your dashboard, since UNIOSUN has consistently warned that candidates who fail to register on time will forfeit their provisional admission; and prepare original credentials — WAEC/NECO results, birth certificate, LGA identification, JAMB result slip, and passport photographs — for physical verification during clearance.
UNIOSUN Admission List by College (What to Expect)
Specific departmental cut-off marks for 2026/2027 will only be published once UNIOSUN releases its official cut-off marks document. Still, candidates can expect the list to be organised across the university’s seven colleges: Agriculture, Education, Health Sciences, Humanities and Culture, Law, Management and Social Sciences, and Science, Engineering & Technology.
Competitive courses such as Nursing, Law, Accounting, Mass Communication, and Computer Science traditionally record higher cut-off marks and are usually the last to be finalised on the UNIOSUN Admission List, since they attract the highest number of applicants relative to available slots.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Has the UNIOSUN Admission List for 2026/2027 been released?
UNIOSUN releases its admission list after the Post-UTME screening exercise closes and departmental review is completed. Since the 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening form closes on 17th September 2026, candidates should expect the UNIOSUN Admission List to follow the screening exercise and subsequent departmental clearance.
Always check the official portal for the current status rather than relying on unofficial dates.
2. Where can I check the UNIOSUN Admission List?
The UNIOSUN Admission List can be checked at admissions.uniosun.edu.ng under the “Returning Applicants” section, using your JAMB registration number and portal password.
3. What is the UTME cut-off mark for UNIOSUN 2026 admission?
Based on the official Post-UTME notice, candidates need a minimum of 160 marks to be screened for most programmes, while Law, Nursing, and Islamic Law require a minimum of 200 marks. Departmental cut-off marks (the actual score needed to be admitted) are usually higher than the screening cut-off and are released separately.
4. Is Medicine (MBBS) admission available for 2026/2027?
No. According to UNIOSUN’s official notice, Medicine (MBBS) admission has been placed on hold for the 2026/2027 academic session. Candidates who chose Medicine but scored below the required mark, or whose preferred course is unavailable, can change to another relevant programme.
5. How many batches does the UNIOSUN Admission List usually come in?
Based on the pattern from the 2025/2026 session, UNIOSUN typically releases a Merit List first, followed by Supplementary List I and Supplementary List II to fill remaining vacancies. This is a trend from previous years and not an official guarantee for every session.
6. How much is the UNIOSUN acceptance fee?
For the 2025/2026 session, the acceptance fee was ₦50,000, paid through the Remita WebPAY platform. This amount can be reviewed each session, so confirm the exact figure for 2026/2027 on your admission dashboard once you are offered a slot.
7. What happens if I don’t accept my admission on time?
UNIOSUN has repeatedly stated that any candidate who fails to complete acceptance and registration on the portal before the deadline will forfeit the provisional admission offered. The slot is typically given to another candidate in the next supplementary batch.
8. Can I change my course after being admitted?
Course change requests are usually handled through JAMB’s CAPS platform and are subject to availability of space in the desired department. It is advisable to do this as early as possible once you notice your preferred course is unavailable, rather than waiting until after the UNIOSUN Admission List is finalised.
9. Do Direct Entry candidates appear on the same UNIOSUN Admission List?
Yes. Direct Entry candidates, including those from UNIOSUN’s own IJMB and JUPEB programmes, are screened and admitted through the same admissions process, but they must submit their academic transcripts to the Registrar by the stated deadline (4th September 2026 for the 2026/2027 session) to be considered.
10. What documents do I need after my name appears on the UNIOSUN Admission List?
You will generally need your JAMB result slip, WAEC/NECO/NABTEB result, birth certificate or age declaration, Local Government identification letter, passport photographs, and any Post-UTME screening documents for physical verification during registration.
11. Is there an age limit for UNIOSUN admission?
Yes. Based on the official 2026/2027 notice, candidates must be at least 16 years old as at 30th September 2026 to be eligible.
12. What if my name is not on the UNIOSUN Admission List after checking?
If your name does not appear, it may mean your application is still under departmental review, you did not meet the cut-off mark, or a supplementary list has not yet been released. Keep checking the portal regularly, and ensure your JAMB CAPS profile and O’Level results were correctly uploaded, since incomplete profiles are a common reason candidates are not considered.
Conclusion
The UNIOSUN Admission List for the 2026/2027 academic session follows Osun State University’s established admission process — Post-UTME screening, departmental review, and release of names through the official admissions portal, working hand-in-hand with JAMB’s CAPS system. From what has been officially confirmed, candidates need a minimum of 160 marks to sit for screening (200 marks for Law, Nursing, and Islamic Law), must be at least 16 years old by 30th September 2026, and must complete their Post-UTME application before the 17th September 2026 deadline. Medicine admission has been put on hold for this session.
Where this guide refers to how many batches the list comes in, or the exact acceptance fee, these details are based on patterns from the 2025/2026 admission cycle, since UNIOSUN has not always published every figure afresh at the start of a new session. The safest approach remains the same every year: check your status regularly at admissions.uniosun.edu.ng, confirm your admission on JAMB CAPS as soon as you are offered a slot, and complete your acceptance fee payment and registration before any stated deadline. Doing this promptly is the single most important step to securing your place once your name appears on the UNIOSUN Admission List.
