Payment should be made only through the official admission portal and the dedicated university account or payment instructions displayed there. The university\u2019s notice warns candidates not to use admission consultants or agents.<\/p>\n<p>Do not pay a person who promises a guaranteed admission slot, a faster approval or a change of result. Save the payment receipt, transaction reference and any application number generated during the process. These records may be needed if there is a payment or portal complaint.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_apply_for_UNILESA_Post-UTMEDE_screening\"><\/span>How to apply for UNILESA Post-UTME\/DE screening<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the official <a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.unilesa.edu.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UNILESA admissions portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Read the current screening instructions and confirm that the application is for the 2026\/2027 session.<\/li>\n<li>Check your UTME score, first-choice status, age and O\u2019Level subjects against the stated requirements.<\/li>\n<li>If UNILESA was not your first choice, complete the required JAMB change-of-institution process before finalising the university application.<\/li>\n<li>Enter your personal, JAMB and academic details exactly as they appear on your official records.<\/li>\n<li>Pay the \u20a62,000 screening fee through the approved portal payment route.<\/li>\n<li>Review the form carefully, submit it and save or print the acknowledgement page.<\/li>\n<li>Keep monitoring the university portal and official communication channels for screening schedules, admission updates or requests for additional information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Direct Entry applicants should complete both the relevant JAMB process and the UNILESA screening registration.
