Online screening is scheduled to open on <strong>Monday, 7 September 2026<\/strong> and close on <strong>Wednesday, 7 October 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The university published the notice on 5 September and says eligible candidates should complete the process through its official admission channel. The screening is for candidates who applied for FUGASHUA degree programmes and includes both UTME and Direct Entry applicants.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of this desk check on 6 September, the linked admission portal was still displaying the previous 2025\/2026 session and saying that applications had closed. That is consistent with the university\u2019s announcement that the new portal will open on 7 September. Candidates should wait for the 2026\/2027 option to appear, confirm the session before entering details or paying, and avoid agents or unofficial payment links.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border:1px solid

IJMB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meeting the minimum score does not guarantee admission. Candidates must still satisfy the requirements for their chosen programme, provide accurate records and complete the university\u2019s screening process. FUGASHUA will handle admission consideration in line with its programme requirements and the JAMB admission process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FUGASHUA_screening_fee_and_deadline\"><\/span>FUGASHUA screening fee and deadline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The university\u2019s notice states that candidates are to pay <strong>\u20a62,000<\/strong> for registration. It gives the application period as <strong>7 September to 7 October 2026<\/strong>. The notice does not state a separate closing time, so candidates should not wait until the final day or assume that a portal remaining accessible after the deadline represents an extension.<\/p>\n<p>As of 6 September, the deadline was 31 calendar days away. This gives eligible applicants reasonable time to prepare their credentials, confirm their course information and complete the online process after the correct 2026\/2027 portal session becomes available.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_prepare_before_the_portal_opens\"><\/span>What to prepare before the portal opens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>FUGASHUA\u2019s registration instructions require information and documents that candidates should assemble in advance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>JAMB registration number;<\/li>\n<li>first name, surname, email address and a valid phone number;<\/li>\n<li>UTME first-choice and second-choice institution details;<\/li>\n<li>UTME subject combination and score;<\/li>\n<li>recent passport photograph;<\/li>\n<li>five relevant O\u2019Level credits, including Mathematics and English Language, in not more than two sittings;<\/li>\n<li>O\u2019Level result details, including the relevant examination information;<\/li>\n<li>scanned copies of certificates and results; and<\/li>\n<li>for Direct Entry applicants, details and grades from the post-secondary institution attended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Awaiting-result candidates can update their O\u2019Level information later, according to the notice. However, candidates should ensure that their final result information is correctly entered and uploaded as soon as it becomes available. They should also confirm any programme-specific requirements before selecting a course.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_apply_when_the_20262027_portal_opens\"><\/span>How to apply when the 2026\/2027 portal opens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to the official FUGASHUA website at <a href=\"https:\/\/fugashua.edu.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fugashua.edu.ng<\/a> or use the Post-UTME link shown on that website.<\/li>\n<li>Open the official portal at <a href=\"https:\/\/fugashua.admissions.cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fugashua.admissions.cloud<\/a> and confirm that the session is 2026\/2027.<\/li>\n<li>Click the registration option to create a UTME or DE screening account.<\/li>\n<li>Enter your JAMB number, name, entry mode, email address and a secure password. The university says the password should contain uppercase letters and numbers.<\/li>\n<li>Check the confirmation email and follow its link to the payment page.<\/li>\n<li>Pay the \u20a62,000 screening fee through the payment option displayed on the official portal. Bank applicants should print the RRR invoice before payment; card users should follow the portal\u2019s secure ATM payment instructions.<\/li>\n<li>Sign in again after payment and complete the course-selection and biodata sections.<\/li>\n<li>Enter your UTME details, O\u2019Level results and, where applicable, Direct Entry qualifications.<\/li>\n<li>Upload the requested passport photograph and scanned credentials.<\/li>\n<li>Review every field carefully, submit the application and save or print the completed application slip.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The university says submitted information cannot be altered after final submission.

Use these official routes and confirm that the page shows the 2026\/2027 exercise before paying.<\/p>\n<p>Do not pay an agent to create an account or claim to secure admission. Do not send the \u20a62,000 fee to a personal bank account, WhatsApp contact or social-media promoter. Keep your payment receipt, confirmation email and application slip. If the portal has not yet switched to 2026\/2027 on 7 September, recheck through the university\u2019s official website and contact the listed support channel rather than using a third-party link.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_FUGASHUA_conduct_a_physical_screening_or_test\"><\/span>Will FUGASHUA conduct a physical screening or test?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The current notice confirms online registration but does not provide a fixed physical-screening or aptitude-test date.
