UNICROSS Admission List 2025/2026 Now on JAMB CAPS — What You Should Know
The University of Cross River State (UNICROSS), formerly known as CRUTECH, has released its 2025/2026 admission list.
This announcement is a key moment for all candidates who participated in UNICROSS’s Post-UTME / DE screening process. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to check your admission status, what to do if admitted, and guidance if your name is not yet visible.
Why This Admission List Matters
- The merit list marks the formal stage where the university confirms which applicants have been offered admission for the session.
- Because admission is now synchronized with JAMB CAPS, candidates must respond quickly to accept or reject offers.
- Many universities, including UNICROSS, release admission in batches. This means that even if your name is missing now, later lists might include you.
How to Check Your Admission Status (UNICROSS 2025/2026)
1. Use JAMB CAPS
- Log in to your JAMB e-Facility / CAPS dashboard using your registered email/username and password.
- Click “Check Admission Status”, then “Access my CAPS”, then finally “Admission Status”.
- If you are admitted, your status will display a congratulatory message. If not yet admitted, it may read “Admission Still in Progress” or “Not Admitted”.
2. Use the University / School Portal (if available)
- Some universities let candidates check admission via their own portals. For UNICROSS, prospective student services or the admission portal might support checking admission status.
- Use your JAMB registration number and surname when prompted.
- If the portal shows your name, it’s confirmation that the university lists you among those offered admission.
What to Do If You Are Admitted
Congratulations if your name appears! Here are the actions you must take:
- Accept or Reject the Admission in CAPS
Use ACCEPT or REJECT SMS (to 55019 or 66019) via your phone number registered with JAMB. - Print Your JAMB Admission Letter
After acceptance, print the admission letter, which is often required for physical registration and screening. - Pay Acceptance Fee (if required)
Admitted students may be required to pay a non-refundable acceptance fee as part of formalizing their admission. - Submit / Present Original Documents
Prepare O-Level certificates, UTME result slip, birth certificate, and other required credentials. These are needed for verification and screening. - Monitor University Announcements
Follow updates from UNICROSS for directives on screening, course registration, matriculation, orientation, and lecture commencement.
What to Do If Your Name Is Not on the List
Don’t panic if your status reads “Not Admitted” or “Still in Progress”. Here are some possibilities and tips:
- Admission in batches: Many names are added after the first batch; subsequent lists or direct departmental offers may include more candidates.
- Pending validation: Sometimes the university or JAMB is still validating results before uploading to CAPS or portal.
- Check frequently: Log in daily or often to CAPS and the university portal, especially within the first few weeks after release.
- Catchment / supplementary lists: If there are remaining slots, the school might release catchment or supplementary admission lists that you could qualify for.
- Ensure you met all requirements: If your credentials had issues (missing or invalid results), your name might be omitted temporarily or permanently.
