Universities Currently Selling Admission Forms — 2025/2026

Admission season changes fast. Schools open portals, extend deadlines, run mop-up screens, or close registrations with little public fanfare and scammers try to exploit that confusion. This article gives a carefully verified, week-by-week snapshot of universities currently selling admission forms for the 2025/2026 undergraduate session in Nigeria. Each entry includes the official application portal, the type of screening (Post-UTME, online screening, or direct entry), brief eligibility notes, and where to verify updates. All information below was checked against official university pages and recognized admission trackers as of November 2025.

How this list is updated and how to use it

1. Weekly checks — university official sites, admissions portals and trusted education news sites are checked weekly for new openings or deadline changes.
2. Official source priority — only university domains and official admission portals are used for payment links and application steps (not social media posts or third-party sellers).
3. What “selling forms” means — a school is counted as “selling admission forms” if its official admissions page shows an open application portal for undergraduate programmes (Post-UTME, Direct Entry, part-time, or foundation programmes).

Use this list to go directly to the official portal, confirm eligibility and apply. If a school you expect to see is missing, check the official university admissions page many private and open institutions run rolling admissions year-round.

• Online Screening/Form Verification — many universities (private and open) verify credentials online and invite candidates for physical verification later.
• Direct Entry (DE) & Part-Time — some schools open DE and part-time programme applications separately; portals usually label these options clearly.

How to apply safely, step-by-step (follow these exact steps)

1. Go to the university’s official admissions page (not a social media post). Example: UNILAG admissions (unilag.edu.ng) or LASU admissions (lasu.edu.ng).
2. Read the official instructions carefully (required documents, eligibility and test mode).
3. Create an account on the official application portal and complete the form using your UTME/DE details. Keep usernames and passwords safe.
4. Pay only through the payment channels listed on the portal (online payment gateway, bank deposit to the school’s official account). Keep receipts/screenshots.
5. Download or print your Post-UTME slip and note the test window or screening date.
6. After any admission offer, check JAMB CAPS and accept or reject as needed. Do not pay acceptance fees to third-party accounts.

Deadlines and timing (what to expect right now)

• Application windows vary by institution: many federal and state universities ran Post-UTME registrations between July and September 2025; private institutions and NOUN maintain rolling or extended windows through later months. Confirm each deadline on the university portal.
• Deadline extensions are common. Universities occasionally extend deadlines or run supplementary windows — always monitor the official admissions page for announcements.

Common applicant questions (FAQ)
