Exciting news for aspiring students of Paul University, Awka (PAU) — the 2025/2026 admission list has been officially released and uploaded on JAMB CAPS. This marks a major turning point for all candidates who took part in the Post-UTME / Direct Entry screening process.
If you applied or intend to attend Paul University, this article will show you how to check your admission status, respond appropriately, and prepare for registration. Let’s dive in.
Why the Paul University Admission List Release Matters
- The admission list is a provisional confirmation that the university has offered you a place.
- Uploading to JAMB CAPS gives the offer official recognition and legitimacy across all registration systems.
- The release triggers a series of essential actions (acceptance, printing admission letter, screening), which must be taken promptly.
- Some names may not show immediately — admission is often done in batches, so those not seeing offers yet should stay alert.
Paul University also confirmed that candidates who participated in the screening can now check whether their names appear among the successful candidates in the provisional list.
How to Check Your Admission Status (Paul University 2025/2026)
Here is a step-by-step guide to confirm whether you have been admitted to Paul University:
- Log in to your JAMB CAPS dashboard
Use your registered email or JAMB profile credentials to access CAPS. - Click on “Check Admission Status”
This option is typically on the main CAPS menu. - Select “Access my CAPS / Admission Status”
This reveals whether your name appears on the list for Paul University. - Interpret the result
- If the status says “Congratulations, you have been offered admission” (or similar), then you are in.
- If it reads “Admission Still in Progress” or “Not Admitted”, your name has not yet been included — this does not necessarily mean rejection.
- Mobile device tip
If using a phone and you see a blank or incomplete page, switch your browser to desktop view. This often resolves display issues when using CAPS on mobile.
Paul University’s Gist page confirms that the list is now live on CAPS and candidates should act immediately to check their status.
What To Do After Being Admitted
Once your name appears on the Paul University admission list, you must take timely steps to secure your spot. Here’s a checklist:
- Accept the admission on JAMB CAPS
Use “ACCEPT” from your registered phone number (usually via SMS to 55019 or 66019) to confirm the offer. - Print your JAMB admission letter
This will be required at various stages of registration and clearance. - Prepare original documents
Gather your O’Level certificates, UTME result slip, birth certificate, identification, and any other required credentials. - Attend institutional screening / verification
You may need to present or validate your documents with the university. - Monitor Paul University announcements
Watch for notices about matriculation, course registration, lectures, orientation, fees payment, and other key processes. - Complete internal registration
Once all the above are approved, register in your department, pay school or departmental fees, and start courses.
If Your Name Isn’t on the List Yet — What to Do
Not seeing your name yet is not the end of the road. Here are practical steps you can take:
- Check CAPS every few hours or daily — new names may be uploaded at any time.
- Look out for follow-on batches — many schools release first batch, second batch, supplementary or catchment lists.
- Ensure your credentials are correct and valid — any missing result or discrepancy can delay inclusion.
- Comply fully with screening / Post-UTME requirements — sometimes administrative hold or incomplete screening can block final upload.
- Stay calm and ready — many students are admitted in later waves, even after the first list is published.
