To print your Admission Notification, you are expected to pay the sum of N4,500.00 through REMITA via the University Portal. NOTE that the system will not allow you to print Notification of Admission until you pay this fee. DO NOT PAY CASH TO ANYBODY OR DIRECT TO THE BANK. ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE BY CARD OR INTERNET BANKING, AND ONLY THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY PORTAL.

5. AFTER SCREENING: Successfully screened students should collect matriculation numbers from the screening officer and wait for 24hrs for the upload of their matric numbers by the ICT Unit. NOTE that ICT Staff will only collect matriculation numbers from the screening officers for uploading. No student should take his matriculation number to ICT staff for uploading.
6. UPDATE BIO-DATA: Students should login with their Matriculation Numbers and update their Bio-Data by completing other personal information yet to be filled. NOTE that every information you give is important and is for the benefit of your studies. Ensure that all fields are completed in the Bio-Data form. Also check and make sure that your names are in order as collected from JAMB. CHECK that your surname, middle name and first name are correctly captured. Please, in case of error, fill a form for correction of names in the Registry Department. The names that appear on your admission letter are the names that will be on your certificate after graduation. There should be no abbreviation whatsoever in your names. ICT Unit will collect and update all corrected students information when approved by the Registrar.
7. CHANGE YOUR PASS WORD: It is advisable for students to change their password from the default password to a customized password and protect it against hackers for security reasons. It is obligatory on you to protect your password. Do not allow your password to be used by another person other than yourself.
8. UPLOAD PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPH: Upload your passport photograph and save it with your Matriculation Number with the extension .JPG.
