Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE), Port Harcourt, has opened supplementary admission applications for the 2026/2027 academic session. The opportunity is for eligible UTME candidates who still want to be considered for admission into the programmes listed by the university.
IAUE’s Registrar said the application portal opened on Monday, 31 August 2026 and will close on Friday, 18 September 2026. At the time of this report, candidates have 13 calendar days remaining in Lagos. The notice also says there will be no extension, so applicants should complete the required JAMB and university-portal actions early.
The university’s official notice is dated 26 August 2026 and was published on its news page on 28 August. A current MySchoolGist report also published the exercise details on 3 September. The official notice, rather than social-media posts or unofficial agents, should be used when checking the application route and programme requirements.

Applicants must have scored at least 150 in UTME to qualify for ranking into the listed departments. Meeting the score requirement does not guarantee admission.

How to apply for IAUE supplementary admission
1. Confirm your course requirements
Use JAMB IBASS and the university’s approved-programme information to confirm that your UTME subjects and O’level results match the course you want. Do not select a programme simply because it appears on a list. IAUE states that wrong combinations may result in disqualification.
2. Make the required change on JAMB
Log in to your JAMB profile and use the change-of-course or change-of-institution service where necessary. The official IAUE notice instructs candidates to change to their desired supplementary programme in strict compliance with the applicable UTME and O’level combinations.
3. Upload your O’level result
Upload or confirm your WAEC, NECO or NABTEB result on the JAMB portal. Candidates should not assume that a result uploaded for an earlier process is correctly reflected. Check the record and resolve any issue through an accredited JAMB channel before the deadline.
4. Register on the IAUE portal
Visit the university portal named in the official notice: https://enterpriseschoolsportal.iaue.edu.ng/. Log in or create the required profile, select the preferred course and follow the instructions for the supplementary batch.
5. Pay the processing fee safely
The official notice states that the processing fee is ₦12,000 and is non-refundable. Pay only through the payment route inside your own university-portal profile. Do not send money to an agent, staff member, social-media account or private bank account, and keep your payment receipt or reference.
6. Monitor JAMB CAPS
After submitting the supplementary application, continue checking your admission status on JAMB CAPS. The IAUE notice says candidates should monitor CAPS to know when an offer is made. An application receipt is not the same as an admission offer; any offer should be checked on the recognised JAMB platform and then followed up with the university’s instructions.
Important deadline warning
The application deadline is Friday, 18 September 2026. IAUE’s official notice says the portal will be open for three weeks only and that there will be no extension. Candidates should allow time for JAMB changes, O’level upload, payment confirmation and portal delays. Waiting until the final day could leave an otherwise eligible candidate unable to complete the process.
The university’s separate undergraduate page currently states that its earlier Post-UTME screening registration has closed, while Direct Entry registration has a different 7 September deadline. Candidates should therefore use the supplementary-admission notice and the specific portal flow for this exercise, not assume that every IAUE admission route has the same closing date.
What candidates should do before submitting
- Confirm that IAUE is your first choice or complete the required JAMB change where applicable.
- Check that your UTME score is at least 150.
- Match your UTME and O’level subjects with the selected programme.
- Confirm that your O’level result is uploaded and visible on JAMB.
- Use the official IAUE portal and pay the ₦12,000 fee only within your profile.
- Save the application slip, payment reference and any confirmation page.
- Check JAMB CAPS regularly after application and accept an offer only after verifying it.
