Prospective students aiming to join Osun State University (UNIOSUN) for the 2025/2026 academic session have received welcome news. The university management has officially extended the closing date for the sale of its Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening forms.
The new deadline is now set for Wednesday, 24th September 2025, giving candidates additional time to complete their applications and avoid missing out on one of Nigeria’s most sought-after state universities.
Why the Extension Matters
Every year, thousands of applicants compete for a limited number of places at UNIOSUN. Many factors—technical issues, delayed examination results, or financial constraints—can prevent eligible candidates from meeting the initial deadline.
By extending the registration period, the university demonstrates its commitment to fairness and inclusivity, ensuring that no qualified candidate is left out simply because of unforeseen delays.
Who Should Take Advantage of the New Date
- First-Choice Candidates:
Anyone who selected UNIOSUN as their first choice in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) but has not yet applied for the Post-UTME screening. - Direct Entry Applicants:
Candidates seeking Direct Entry (DE) admission into 200-level programmes who have obtained the relevant qualifications—such as A-levels, OND, NCE, or equivalent—and have not yet submitted their forms. - Change of Institution Applicants:
Candidates who recently changed their first-choice institution to UNIOSUN on the JAMB portal and are waiting for the change to reflect can now complete the process without fear of missing the previous cut-off date.
Eligibility Requirements (General Guidelines)
While specific departmental cut-off marks may vary, UNIOSUN traditionally requires:
- UTME Candidates: A minimum JAMB score of 160 or higher (some competitive courses may demand more).
- O’Level Results: At least five credit passes in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in not more than two sittings.
- Age Limit: Candidates should be at least 16 years old by the time of admission.
Applicants are strongly advised to double-check the university’s official website or admission brochure for course-specific requirements before proceeding.
Step-by-Step Application Process
To ensure a smooth application, follow these steps carefully:
Print Confirmation Slip
After submission, print the confirmation slip that includes your unique screening details. Keep it safe for reference during the admission process.
Visit the Official Portal
Go to the UNIOSUN Post-UTME/Screening portal at https://admissions.uniosun.edu.ng/.
Create a Profile
Enter your valid email address and phone number to create a personal account. A verification message will be sent to your email.
Complete the Form
Provide accurate personal details, UTME/DE information, and upload a recent passport photograph. Cross-check all data to avoid errors that might delay processing.
Payment of Processing Fee
Pay the required screening fee (typically around N5,000, excluding transaction charges) via the online payment gateway. Ensure you print the payment receipt for future reference.
Upload Academic Credentials
Scan and upload your O’Level results or other relevant documents. Candidates awaiting results can indicate “AR” (Awaiting Result) but must later upload the final results to both the UNIOSUN and JAMB portals.
