The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has released its 2026/2027 admission list for candidates seeking admission through the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE).

Candidates who participated in the university's 2026/2027 admission screening exercise are advised to check their admission status to determine whether they have been offered provisional admission.

How to Check UNILAG Admission Status on JAMB CAPS

The admission list has been uploaded to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). Candidates can check their status by following these steps:

1. Visit the official JAMB e-Facility portal: https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/.
   1. Log in using your registered email address and password.
   2. Click on Check Admission Status.
   3. Select Access my CAPS.
   4. Click on Admission Status to check whether you have been offered admission.

Candidates who have been offered admission should see a congratulatory message and their photograph displayed on the portal. Those who have not yet been offered admission may see the message, “Sorry, No Admission Has Been Given Yet.”

Candidates who are yet to receive an offer should continue checking their admission status for updates.

How to Accept or Reject Admission

Candidates who have received an admission offer should proceed to accept or reject it through the available official JAMB channels.

According to the supplied admission notice, candidates may send ACCEPT or REJECT by SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the phone number linked to their JAMB profile.

Candidates are advised to confirm the applicable procedure and deadline through official JAMB channels. The notice states that candidates have four weeks to accept their admission offers.

Those who no longer have access to the phone number registered with JAMB should visit a JAMB-accredited centre for assistance.

Print Your JAMB Admission Letter

After accepting an admission offer, candidates should print their JAMB admission letters. The document may be required during the university's clearance and registration exercises.
