Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, has confirmed that its 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening exercise is complete, and candidates can now check their admission status on the official OOU portal and JAMB CAPS.
A First Batch Merit Admission List for 2026/2027 has been reported by education news sites, but as of this update it has not yet been independently confirmed on OOU’s own admission portal, so treat your personal portal check, not a third-party list, as the final word on your status.

Where Things Stand Right Now
There are two things worth separating here, because they are easy to mix up.
Confirmed: OOU’s management published an official notice on July 29, 2026 titled “Important Notice on the 2026/2027 Admission Post-UTME Screening Exercise,” and the university’s admission portal is live and accepting status checks.
Developing, not yet confirmed: Several education news sites reported in mid-September 2026 that OOU had released a “First Batch Merit Admission List” for the 2026/2027 session. CampusNinja could not verify this claim on OOU’s own portal at the time of writing, the portal’s admission notice still references the 2025/2026 provisional admission cycle and its ₦75,000 acceptance fee.
If you sat for OOU’s 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening, the safest step is to check your own status directly on the portal below rather than relying on a screenshot or a third-party “list is out” claim. This article will be updated the moment OOU’s own portal or a verified Tier-1 source confirms the batch release.
How to Check Your OOU Admission Status
- Go to the official OOU admission portal at portal.oouagoiwoye.edu.ng/admission.
- Click Check Admission Status.
- Enter your JAMB Registration Number and your password/surname in the fields provided.
- Click Submit to view your status. If admitted, you can print your preliminary offer letter from the same page.
How to Confirm Your Admission on JAMB CAPS
An OOU portal admission is provisional until you accept it through JAMB. Do this immediately after a status check shows you have been offered a place:
- Go to efacility.jamb.gov.ng and log in with your registered email and password.
- Click Check Admission Status, then select Access my CAPS.
- Click Admission Status on the left-hand panel.
- Click Accept Admission if you want the offer — do not click Reject unless you intend to decline it.
- Print your official JAMB Admission Letter once you’ve accepted.
What to Do After You’re Admitted
| Step | What It Involves |
|---|---|
| Pay the acceptance fee | Non-refundable, paid through the OOU online payment gateway; confirm the exact amount for your batch on the portal before paying |
| Accept on JAMB CAPS | Required to make your admission official — see steps above |
| Gather clearance documents | WAEC/NECO/NABTEB result, JAMB result slip, birth certificate, state of origin certificate, passport photographs |
| Complete departmental clearance | Done on the student portal once your acceptance fee reflects |
| Register your courses | Online, after clearance — follow your department’s instructions on the student portal |
Miss the acceptance fee deadline and your admission slot can be forfeited to the next batch, so don’t sit on a confirmed offer.
Frequently Asked Questions — OOU Admission List 2026/2027
Is the OOU admission list for 2026/2027 out?
OOU’s 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening is confirmed complete. Reports of a First Batch Merit List began circulating in mid-September 2026, but CampusNinja has not yet been able to confirm this directly on OOU’s own portal. Check your personal status on the portal — that result is more reliable than any third-party “list is out” post.
How do I check my OOU admission status?
Visit portal.oouagoiwoye.edu.ng/admission, click Check Admission Status, enter your JAMB Registration Number and password, then submit.
How do I check my OOU admission status on JAMB CAPS?

What is the OOU acceptance fee for 2026/2027?
The OOU portal currently lists a non-refundable acceptance fee of ₦75,000 for admitted candidates. Confirm this figure for your specific batch on the portal before you pay, since it can change between cycles.

Original and photocopies of your WAEC/NECO/NABTEB statement of results, JAMB result slip, birth certificate, state of origin certificate, and passport photographs.
