<p>The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has started offering admission to prospective students for the 2026/2027 academic session. The first-batch admission list was reported on 26 October 2026, and the list is available on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).</p> <p>Candidates who took part in the UNILAG Post-UTME screening exercise, whose results were released on 7 August 2026, should check their admission status on JAMB CAPS now. Admitted candidates should accept the offer within four weeks, then print the JAMB admission letter. No standalone official UNILAG announcement page for the list itself was found this run, and no batch size has been published, so check CAPS directly rather than waiting for a list on the university website.</p> <h2>Quick information</h2> <ul> <li>Institution: University of Lagos (UNILAG), Lagos State</li> <li>Exercise: 2026/2027 first-batch admission list on JAMB CAPS</li> <li>List reported: 26 October 2026</li> <li>Where to check: JAMB CAPS, linked below</li> <li>Post-UTME result released: 7 August 2026</li> <li>Acceptance window: four weeks from the release of each offer</li> <li>How to accept: on CAPS, or by SMS to 55019 or 66019 from the phone number registered with your JAMB profile</li> <li>SMS cost: 50 naira of main airtime balance.

Accept it within four weeks.</li> <li>Admission in progress: you have been recommended for admission. Check back after a few days.</li> <li>Not admitted: admission has not been confirmed at that point. It may be because your O'Level result is not uploaded, or you did not meet the departmental cut-off mark. Keep checking, as lists are released in batches.</li> </ul> <h2>What to do after you are admitted</h2> <ul> <li>Accept the offer on JAMB CAPS within four weeks, then print your JAMB admission letter. The letter is presented at UNILAG during documentation.</li> <li>Take the compulsory toxicology drug test at the Jelili Adebisi Omotola (Multipurpose) Hall or the designated venue for your faculty. The admission guide quotes a fee of 10,000 naira for the test. Confirm the current fee on the student portal before paying.</li> <li>Log in to the UNILAG student portal with your JAMB registration number and password and fill in your student bio-data form.</li> <li>Upload high-quality scans of your O'Level results, birth certificate and state of origin certificate.</li> <li>Book an appointment for your faculty-based physical screening and attend with two sets of photocopies and the originals of your toxicology test result, coloured JAMB admission letter, UNILAG Post-UTME result slip, O'Level result and testimonial, letter of reference from a reputable clergyman, imam, lawyer or senior civil servant addressed to the Registrar, and birth certificate or sworn declaration of age.</li> <li>Pay the UNILAG acceptance fee on the student portal.

Some CAPS options may not show on a mobile view, so use the desktop-site option on your mobile browser to see the complete CAPS page.</li> <li>Skipping the toxicology test or the physical screening. Both are compulsory, and missing them can lead to withdrawal of the admission.</li> <li>Accepting a transfer without reviewing it. If a different programme is proposed, review the Transfer Approval in CAPS before accepting.</li> </ul> <h2>Scam warning</h2> <p>Admission into the University of Lagos is only through JAMB CAPS and the university's official student portal, linked under Important official links below. No agent can add a name to the admission list or secure an offer for payment. Anyone who asks you to pay into a personal account for admission, a guaranteed offer or a shortcut is running a scam. Confirm every instruction on the university's official website before sending documents or money to anyone.</p> <h2>Important official links</h2> <p><a href="https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/">JAMB e-Facility portal, check admission status on CAPS</a></p> <p><a href="https://studentportal.unilag.edu.ng/">UNILAG student portal, acceptance fee and bio-data</a></p> <p><a href="https://unilag.edu.ng/">University of Lagos official website</a></p> <h2>Frequently asked questions</h2> <p>Is the UNILAG admission list for 2026/2027 out?</p> <p>Yes.
