Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike (AE-FUNAI), Ebonyi State, has opened applications for supplementary admission into selected undergraduate programmes for the 2026/2027 academic session.
The university’s Admissions Committee says the opportunity is for candidates who applied to AE-FUNAI but have not yet been offered admission. The official notice allows eligible applicants to choose from available programmes, provided their JAMB UTME and O’Level subject combinations fit the requirements.
Important: the application deadline is Friday, September 25, 2026, and the university says there will be no extension. At the time of this report on September 12, candidates had 12 full calendar days remaining to complete the process.
Who can apply for AE-FUNAI supplementary admission?
The 2026/2027 supplementary admission exercise is not open to every applicant. According to the Registrar’s notice, you should meet all of these conditions:
- You applied for admission into AE-FUNAI for the 2026/2027 session.
- You have scored at least 150 in the 2026 JAMB UTME.
- You have not yet been offered admission.
- Your UTME subjects and O’Level subjects match the requirements of the programme you want to select.
- You are prepared to change your course on JAMB CAPS to one of the advertised supplementary programmes.
The university says candidates may apply whether or not they registered for the AE-FUNAI Post-UTME exercise. However, meeting the 150 UTME threshold alone does not guarantee admission. Programme requirements, available spaces, subject combinations and the university’s admission process still apply.

How much is the AE-FUNAI supplementary admission form?
The supplementary admission processing fee is ₦5,000. This is the amount stated in the university’s current notice. Candidates should use only the official AE-FUNAI supplementary portal and should not pay agents who promise admission or a preferred course.
How to apply
Use the following process from a phone or computer with a reliable internet connection:
- Open the official supplementary admission portal at apply.funai.edu.ng.
- Provide your JAMB registration number so the portal can validate your profile.
- Enter a valid email address and active phone number. Use contact details you can access throughout the admission process.
- Verify your email with the one-time password sent by the portal.
- Follow the portal’s payment instructions and pay the ₦5,000 processing fee.
- After making the transfer, select the option confirming that payment has been made so you can continue the registration.
- Complete the form carefully, choosing only a programme whose UTME and O’Level requirements you satisfy.
- Check your email for the registration acknowledgement and keep the message or printout safely.
Do not rush the course-selection stage. The university specifically requires candidates to consider their JAMB UTME and O’Level subject combinations. A course that appears available may still be unsuitable if your subjects do not meet its requirements.
JAMB CAPS action candidates must understand
AE-FUNAI says applicants who want one of the advertised programmes must effect a change of course on JAMB CAPS. This is a separate admission-system action from filling the supplementary form.
Before changing anything, confirm the exact programme name and its subject requirements. After submitting the supplementary application, continue checking both the university’s admission channels and JAMB e-Facility/CAPS. JAMB’s official guidance says CAPS is the system used to process and accept tertiary admissions, so candidates should not treat an unofficial message, social-media post or agent’s promise as an admission offer.
If AE-FUNAI offers you admission on CAPS, log in personally, review the programme and accept the offer only after confirming that it is correct. Keep your login details private and avoid sharing verification codes.
Deadline and final checklist
Deadline warning: AE-FUNAI’s supplementary application closes on Friday, September 25, 2026. The university says there will be no extension. The notice does not publish a universal closing time, so do not wait until the final evening.
- Confirm that you applied to AE-FUNAI and scored at least 150 in UTME.
- Confirm that you have not already received an admission offer.
- Compare your UTME and O’Level subjects with the selected programme.
- Prepare your JAMB registration number, active email and phone number.
- Pay only through the official portal and keep evidence of payment.
- Complete any required course change on JAMB CAPS.
- Save the acknowledgement and monitor your email, the university portal and CAPS.
What this announcement does not mean
The supplementary list is an additional opportunity to be considered for available programmes. It is not a promise that every applicant will be admitted, and it does not mean that candidates can ignore JAMB CAPS or programme requirements.
It also does not authorise agents to collect extra charges. The university’s notice states the processing fee as ₦5,000. If someone asks for money to “secure” a course, alter a result or guarantee admission, treat the request as a warning sign and contact AE-FUNAI through its official channels.
