The management of the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago Iwoye, Ogun State, has announced the release of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd batch admission lists for the 2025/2026 academic session.

Understanding OOU Admission Batches

OOU releases its admission list in multiple batches:

1. First Batch (Merit Admission)

• Contains the highest-performing candidates
• Usually released first
• Most competitive candidates
• Fills majority of available slots

2. Second Batch

• Released 2-3 weeks after first batch
• For candidates who narrowly missed first batch
• Still highly competitive
• Additional slots filled

3. Third Batch (Supplementary)

• Final admission batch
• Fills remaining vacancies
• Last opportunity for admission
• Released if spaces remain

Important: If you don’t find your name in the first batch, don’t lose hope! Keep checking for subsequent batches.

How to Check OOU Admission List 2025/2026

There are three official methods to check your OOU admission status. Follow these methods carefully:

Method 1: Check Through OOU Admission Portal (Recommended)

This is the primary and most reliable method to check your admission status.

Step 1: Visit OOU Admission Portal

• Open your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)
• Navigate to https://portal.oouagoiwoye.edu.ng/admission
• This is the official OOU admission portal
• Ensure you’re on the correct website to avoid fraudulent sites
• Wait for the page to load completely

Step 2: Click on “Check Admission Status”

• On the admission page, click on “CHECK ADMISSION STATUS” to confirm your admission
• You’ll be redirected to the login page
• The page will prompt you for login credentials

Step 3: Enter Your Login Details

• Provide your JAMB Number and SURNAME as password to log on to the admission portal
• JAMB Number: Enter your complete JAMB registration number (no spaces)
• Password: Use your SURNAME in CAPITAL LETTERS (as it appears on your JAMB registration)
• Double-check both entries for accuracy
• Click “Login” or “Submit”

Step 4: View Your Admission Status

• If admitted, you’ll see “Congratulations! You have been offered provisional admission”
• Your admission details will be displayed:
  • Course of study
  • Faculty and department
  • Admission number
  • Important instructions
• Take a screenshot immediately for your records

Step 5: Print Your OOU Admission Letter

• Look for “Print Admission Letter” or “Download Admission Letter” button
• Click to download your admission letter as a PDF
• Print at least 5 copies of your admission letter
• Save digital copies to your email and cloud storage
• Keep physical copies in different safe locations

Step 6: Print Acceptance Fee Invoice

• After viewing your admission, print your acceptance fee payment invoice
• This invoice is needed for payment
• Keep multiple copies
• Note the exact amount to pay

Important Note: If you encounter any challenge on the procedure, visit OOU ICT Centre, Ago-Iwoye for further clarification.

Method 2: Check Through JAMB CAPS Portal (CRITICAL – MANDATORY)

This method is crucial because you MUST accept your admission on JAMB CAPS for it to be valid.

Step 1: Visit JAMB eFacility Portal

• Go to https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/
• This is the official JAMB portal for admission processing
• Ensure you’re on the correct JAMB website
• Be wary of fake sites

Step 2: Login to Your JAMB Profile

• Click on “e-Facility” or look for the login button
• Enter your email address (used during JAMB registration)
• Enter your password (created during JAMB registration)
• If you’ve forgotten your password, click “Forgot Password” to reset
• Click “Login” to access your profile

Step 3: Check Your Admission Status

• Once logged in, look for “Check Admission Status” on your dashboard
• Click on it to view if OOU has offered you admission
• If OOU has uploaded your admission, it will be displayed
• You’ll see:
  • Institution: Olabisi Onabanjo University
  • Course of study
  • Admission type (UTME or Direct Entry)
  • Other admission details

Step 4: Accept Your Admission (CRITICAL STEP)

• THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP!
• For those that haven’t accepted the admission on JAMB CAPS, you are expected to proceed to JAMB CAPS to accept the offer of admission within the next 48 hours
• If you see OOU admission offer, click “ACCEPT” button
• Confirm your acceptance when prompted
• DO NOT click “REJECT” unless you genuinely don’t want the admission
• Without accepting on JAMB CAPS, your admission is NOT official!

Alternative SMS Method for Acceptance:

• Send ACCEPT or REJECT via SMS to 55019 or 66019 using your JAMB-registered phone number
• Format: ACCEPT or REJECT (one word)
• Use the phone number you registered with JAMB
• You’ll receive a confirmation SMS

Step 5: Print JAMB Admission Letter

• Once accepted, head back to print your JAMB admission letter
• Look for “Print Admission Letter” option on JAMB CAPS
• Download and print at least 3 copies
• Keep a copy, you will need it for school registration
• This is different from your OOU admission letter – you need both!

Critical Warning: Without accepting on JAMB CAPS, you are NOT officially admitted, regardless of what you see on OOU portal!
