UNN Acceptance Fee for 2026/2027

The university has officially announced two acceptance-fee categories.

₦50,000 — Non-Regulated Programmes

Candidates admitted into non-regulated programmes are required to pay ₦50,000 as their acceptance fee.

₦100,000 — Specified Regulated Programmes

Candidates admitted into the following programmes are required to pay ₦100,000 :

Medicine

Law

These fees are for accepting the admission offer. They should not be confused with the full school fees or other registration charges.

The university's primary admission notice does not specify a general acceptance-fee payment deadline. Successful candidates should monitor the official portal for any further instructions.

How to Pay UNN Acceptance Fee for 2026/2027

Successful candidates should follow the approved UNN payment process.

Visit the official UNN website or student portal.

Log in with your JAMB registration number.

Generate the university's acceptance-fee payment invoice containing a Remita reference number.

Download or print the invoice.

Make payment at a commercial bank, including UNN Microfinance Bank, using the generated invoice as instructed by the university.

Obtain your payment confirmation slip containing the invoice and confirmation numbers.

Return to the UNN portal and enter the required payment details.

Print your admission slip and complete the online Acceptance Form.

After accepting the offer, proceed with other university registration requirements.

Important warning: Do not transfer acceptance fees to an individual claiming to be an admission officer. Use only the official UNN-generated payment invoice and authorised payment process.

What If Your Name Appears on the UNN List but JAMB CAPS Still Says Not Admitted?

Some candidates may find their names on a university admission list while their JAMB CAPS status has not yet been updated.

Where this occurs:

Confirm that your O'Level results were correctly uploaded to JAMB.

Check that the institution and course details on your JAMB profile are correct.

Review any pending transfer proposal on CAPS.

Continue checking the official JAMB account for updates.

Contact the university's admissions office through official channels if the discrepancy persists.

UNN's published PDF also includes an important warning regarding candidates who changed institutions. Any affected candidate should seek clarification directly from UNN before assuming that the provisional listing is final.

The official list states that candidates are considered properly admitted only when the necessary JAMB admission letter and UNN registration number have been obtained.

What If Your Name Is Not on the UNN Primary Admission List?

Candidates who do not find their names should not automatically conclude that every opportunity has ended.

UNN has separately announced advertised-course applications, popularly called course shopping , for eligible candidates who have not yet secured admission.

The shopping exercise opened on October 28 and is scheduled to close on November 3, 2026 .

The application fee is ₦10,000, and candidates must meet the requirements of their preferred advertised programme.

Candidates should understand that shopping is a separate application exercise, not an automatic admission offer.

For additional information, visit the official UNN shopping announcement:

Is the UNN Primary Admission List the Same as the Direct Entry List?

No.

UNN published separate admission announcements for UTME candidates and Direct Entry candidates.

The university also issued separate lists for certain other admission categories.

Direct Entry applicants should check the 2026/2027 Primary Direct Entry Admission List , rather than assume that the regular UTME admission PDF contains their names.

The Direct Entry announcement separately specifies an acceptance fee of ₦50,000 for its listed candidates.
