The university has commenced the release of the 2024/2025 admission lists, with the first one released in October 2024. Below are various UNILORIN admission lists you should expect.
- First batch/merit list – This list comes out first and has the names of prospective students who have attained the general and departmental UNILORIN cut-off marks and other admission requirements.
- Second and subsequent batches – The second and subsequent batches are released gradually after the first batch. Usually, they have the names of students who missed the merit criteria but are considered for admission under other admission requirements.

Next steps after admission to the University of Ilorin
Verifying your admission status on the portals is only the first step towards securing your place at the university. There are other multiple requirements you should fulfil to complete the process, and this guide takes you through what you should do.
1. Accept your provisional admission offer
Confirming your admission status does not mean you have accepted the admission offer. Log in to the JAMB CAPS portal and accept the offer. If you think otherwise and decide to decline the offer, you may be offered another chance to join a different university.
2. Download and print the admission offer letter
Proof that you accepted the admission offer is having a hard copy of the provisional admission offer letter. Therefore, on the JAMB CAS portal, download and print the offer letter, which may be required in the subsequent admission procedures.
3. Pay the acceptance fee
Paying the acceptance fee is the ultimate confirmation that you have accepted the UNILORIN admission offer. Ensure you pay the acceptance fee within the indicated period so that your admission offer is not forfeited. UNILORIN's acceptance fee is approximately ₦40,000.
4. Complete online clearance
Log in to the UNILORIN admission portal and provide the required information and documents. You may be required to provide your name, contacts, and residence details and also upload documents, such as your result slip and birth certificate. On completion of the process, you will be given a matriculation number.
5. Physical document verification and clearance

In addition to uploading the documents on the portal, you will have to go to the university to present the documents for physical verification. Some of the crucial documents you will have to present are:
- JAMB result slip
- O’Levels certificate
- Birth certificate
- Identification card
- Passport photos
6. Pay school fees
Payment of school is an important step, and therefore, you should know how much to pay and when to pay. Like most universities, UNILORIN requires freshers to pay the school fee in full. Check the fee structure and consult the finance office to get the right amounts and payment procedure.
7. Register for courses
After fee payment, log into the course registration portal to enrol in your semester courses. While the courses are likely to be displayed on the portal, you can consult your department to get the appropriate courses.
8. Attend orientation and begin your classes
UNILORIN usually organises orientation programmes for new students to help familiarise themselves with the institution’s activities, facilities, and culture. After orientation, classes begin, and you can start attending them to realise your academic goals.
