UDUS 2025/2026 Admission List Now Available on JAMB CAPS
The University of Uyo’s Distance/Extension Studies Unit (UDUS) has officially released its 2025/2026 admission list. Candidates who applied for the university’s distance/part-time programmes can now check their status on JAMB CAPS to see if they’ve been offered admission. This marks a pivotal moment for prospective students, and understanding what to do next is essential.
✅ How to Check Your Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
Here is a clear, step-by-step guide to confirming whether you’ve been admitted:
- Log in to your JAMB e-Facility portal using your registered email address and password.
- On the dashboard, click on “Check Admission Status.”
- Enter your examination year and your JAMB registration number correctly.

🛤️ What You Should Do If You Are Admitted
Once your name appears on the list under the “Admitted” status, the following steps should be taken promptly:
- Accept the offer via JAMB CAPS so your admission is confirmed in the system.
- Print your JAMB admission letter — this is usually required for final registration and evidence for clearance.
- Look out for announcements from UDUS or the university’s distance unit about the next steps: registration portals, payment of fees, and document verification.
- Prepare the necessary clearance documents such as:
- O’level result certificates (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB)
- Birth certificate or sworn affidavit
- Local government identification
- Passport photographs
- Any other document stipulated by UDUS
It’s essential to carry out these actions quickly, because failure to accept your offer or comply with registration instructions may lead to forfeiture of admission.
⏳ What If Your Name Isn’t On the List?
If you check and your status is still “Not Admitted” or “Admission in Progress,” don’t lose hope. Here are practical steps you can take:
- Refresh your CAPS status daily — additional lists or adjustments often follow.
- Keep your contact information up to date (email and phone). You may receive notifications or requests from the university.
- Use the waiting period wisely: gather your documents, ensure everything is in order, and be ready to act fast when your name appears.
- Stay attentive to announcements or bulletins from UDUS about supplementary lists or updates to admissions.
