The Federal University of Health Sciences, Azare (FUHSA) has released its UTME admissions for the 2026/2027 academic session. In an official Registrar’s notice dated 31 August 2026, the university told prospective candidates and the public to check and accept their admissions through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
FUHSA also approved the commencement of registration for newly admitted 100-level students from Tuesday, 1 September 2026. This means candidates who applied for FUHSA should check their JAMB record now and follow the next official instructions carefully. The university notice does not state a universal final deadline for accepting the offer or completing registration, so candidates should not wait for a deadline before checking their status.
What FUHSA’s official notice says
The notice was issued by the Office of the Registrar and carries reference FUHSA/CIR/GEN/93/VOL.I/34. Its key message is that the 2026/2027 UTME admissions have been released and that candidates should check and accept their offers on JAMB CAPS.

The announcement confirms the release of admissions, but it is not a promise that every applicant has received an offer. Your own JAMB record is what determines whether an offer has been made to you.
How to check the FUHSA admission status on JAMB CAPS
Use JAMB’s official online channels and keep your login details private. Do not send your password, email access or JAMB profile details to an agent claiming to be able to “upgrade” your admission.
- Open the JAMB e-Facility portal and sign in with the email address and password connected to your JAMB profile.
- Open the CAPS or Admission Status section from your dashboard. If the full CAPS menu is not visible on a phone, try the official portal in desktop mode or use a computer.
- Select the relevant admission year and check whether FUHSA has made an offer for the 2026/2027 session.
- Read the institution and programme carefully. Confirm that the offer is for FUHSA and that the course details are correct before taking action.
- If you are satisfied with the offer, use the official Accept Admission option. If you do not want the offer, use Reject Admission only after considering the consequences.
- Save or print the status page and any admission document made available after acceptance.
JAMB CAPS is the important verification point because the FUHSA notice specifically directs candidates there. A message from a blog, WhatsApp group or private individual is not a substitute for the status displayed on your JAMB profile.
What to do if FUHSA appears on CAPS
Accepting an offer is only one part of the process. After accepting, monitor the official FUHSA website and the university’s approved admission channels for registration instructions, document requirements, fees and any physical verification schedule.
- Confirm the exact programme and admission category shown on your JAMB record.
- Accept the offer through CAPS if you intend to take up the admission.
- Keep a printed or digital copy of the JAMB admission status and admission letter when available.
- Prepare your original academic and identity documents, but submit only what FUHSA officially requests.
- Use the university’s official admission portal for any registration step linked from FUHSA’s website.
- Watch for a registration deadline or further clearance notice; none was stated in the 31 August release notice.
FUHSA’s official website currently links to its admission portal. Candidates should use that link only for the purpose stated by the university and should verify any payment instruction on the official FUHSA domain before paying.
If your FUHSA status is not yet available
Not seeing an offer immediately does not by itself prove that your application was unsuccessful. Admission processing can be updated in stages. Check that you selected FUHSA correctly during the JAMB process, confirm that your O’Level details were submitted where required, and continue monitoring CAPS and FUHSA’s official announcements.
Do not pay anyone who promises to insert your name, change a JAMB decision or create a fake admission letter. If there is a mismatch between an institutional message and your JAMB status, pause and verify through FUHSA and JAMB official support channels.
FUHSA registration update for new 100-level students
The same FUHSA Registrar’s notice approved registration for newly admitted 100-level students from 1 September 2026. The notice does not provide a fee schedule, a final registration date or a complete document checklist. Those details should therefore be taken from a later official circular or the university’s registration instructions when published.
For now, newly admitted candidates should organise the documents normally used for admission verification, such as their JAMB records, O’Level result details and valid identification, while waiting for FUHSA’s exact checklist. Do not treat a general checklist from another school as a FUHSA requirement.
Important deadline warning
At the time of this report on 3 September 2026, FUHSA had confirmed the start of new-student registration but had not stated a universal closing date in the release notice. This is not permission to delay. Candidates should check CAPS and the FUHSA website promptly, because a separate registration or acceptance deadline may be announced in a subsequent notice.
Any candidate who sees a deadline later should calculate the available time from the exact official notice and complete all required steps before the stated closing time. If the university publishes different dates for different groups, follow the date attached to your own admission category.
How to avoid fake FUHSA admission messages
Admission season attracts unofficial lists and payment scams. Use these checks before acting:
- Confirm that the information appears on fuhsa.edu.ng, JAMB’s official platform or a portal linked from one of them.
- Check your personal admission status instead of relying on a screenshot containing another candidate’s details.
- Do not pay into a personal bank account or send a one-time password to someone claiming to be an admission officer.
- Compare the institution, programme and session on every official record.
- Save the URL of the official page you used so that you can return to it when the list or portal is updated.
