UNIOSUN Extends Post-UTME Deadline 2025/2026

Prospective students at Osun State University (UNIOSUN) have received some positive news, as the university’s management has officially declared an extension for the Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening registration deadline for the 2025/2026 academic year. The revised closing date is now set for Wednesday, 24th September 2025, providing applicants with additional time to finalize their registration.

Importance of the Extension

This extension is a welcome development for many aspiring candidates. Annually, thousands of students vie for admission into UNIOSUN, recognized as one of Nigeria’s esteemed state-owned universities. Factors such as delays in examination results, financial issues, or technical problems often hinder qualified candidates from meeting the initial deadline. By prolonging the registration period, UNIOSUN emphasizes its dedication to fairness, inclusivity, and equal opportunities for all applicants.

Benefiting Categories of Candidates

The extension is advantageous to three primary groups of applicants:

First-Choice UTME Candidates—Individuals who selected UNIOSUN as their first choice during the 2025 UTME but have not yet finalized their Post-UTME registration.
Direct Entry (DE) Candidates—Those with higher qualifications like A-Levels, NCE, OND, or their equivalents who are seeking admission into the 200 level of various programs.

Change of Institution Candidates—Students who have recently modified their first choice to UNIOSUN through the JAMB portal and were waiting for confirmation of this change before proceeding with their registration.

Eligibility Criteria

The university has reiterated the minimum requirements for participation in the screening process.

UTME candidates must have scored 160 and above in the 2025 JAMB examination. Highly competitive programs may, however, require higher scores.
O-Level Requirements demand a minimum of five credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings.
The age requirement states that candidates must be at least 16 years old by the time of admission.

Applicants are strongly advised to review departmental cut-off marks and course-specific requirements before submission.

Application Process Step-by-Step

To avoid errors or disqualification, applicants are expected to follow these steps carefully:

Visit the Portal – Navigate to the official screening portal at https://admissions.uniosun.edu.ng/.
Create a Profile – Register using a valid email address and phone number. A verification link will be sent to the email provided.
Complete the Form – Input personal details and UTME/DE information, and upload a passport photograph. Double-check information before submission.
Pay the Processing Fee – Make an online payment of about N2,000 (excluding transaction charges) through the designated gateway. Print the receipt after payment.
Upload Credentials – Upload O-Level results and other necessary documents. Candidates awaiting results may use “AR” (Awaiting Result) but must later update both the UNIOSUN and JAMB portals.
Print Confirmation Slip – After successful submission, print the slip containing screening details and keep it safe for future admission processes.

The management of UNIOSUN has assured applicants that the extension is not intended to postpone the admission process but rather to promote transparency and fairness. The university emphasized that only those candidates who complete their registration within the new deadline will be eligible for admission.

With the revised deadline now set for September 24, 2025, prospective students are urged to take advantage of this opportunity and complete their registration promptly. UNIOSUN remains committed to its role as a center of excellence in education, research, and community service, and this extension signifies its commitment to making education more accessible, inclusive, and supportive of students.
