Important Information for Applicants
The supplementary admission advertisement is strictly for candidates who have not already been admitted into any department at COOU.
Candidates should also note that an intra-university transfer to another programme will only be possible after two years of study.
Applicants are therefore encouraged to choose their preferred programmes carefully before submitting their applications.
Steps to Take After Applying
Candidates who successfully apply for supplementary admission are required to complete the following steps:
1. Monitor JAMB CAPS
Regularly check the “Transfer Approval” section of the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). Candidates should promptly accept a transfer to their new programme once it is offered.
2. Complete Change of Course
Candidates should process a Change of Course on JAMB CAPS to reflect the new programme they applied for.
3. Upload O’Level Results
Ensure that all required O’Level results are correctly uploaded to JAMB CAPS to facilitate the processing of admission.
