About University of Port Harcourt
University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) was established in 1975 as University College, Port Harcourt and became a full university in 1977. It is a federal, public research university located in Choba and Aluu, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and is accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
The JAMB cut-off mark for UNIPORT in the 2026/2027 session is 160 for all courses, though departmental cut-offs run higher for competitive programmes like Medicine and Law — see the full UNIPORT Departmental Cut-Off Mark for All Courses 2026/2027 guide for department-by-department figures.
Where UNIPORT’s 2026/2027 Admission Process Stands
UNIPORT conducted its 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening from Monday, 8 June to Saturday, 13 June 2026, for candidates who chose the university as first choice and scored at least 160 in the 2026 UTME. A mop-up screening exercise followed on Monday, 27 July 2026 for candidates who missed the main dates.
On 15 August 2026, the UNIPORT Registrar’s office confirmed that candidates who were screened but not offered admission into their chosen programme can now apply for supplementary admission into other available programmes. This confirms the university has been working through its main admission batches; UNIPORT has not published a single specific date marking when its first batch went live, so the safest approach is to check your status directly rather than rely on any third-party “list is out” claim.
Several sites currently circulating “UNIPORT admission list is out” articles show release dates that don’t match UNIPORT’s own published notices, including some naming dates that haven’t happened yet. Always confirm your status on JAMB CAPS or the official UNIPORT portal rather than trusting a third-party date claim.
How to Check Your UNIPORT Admission Status
Option 1: JAMB CAPS
- Visit efacility.jamb.gov.ng and log in with your registered email address and password.
- On your dashboard, click “Check Admission Status.”
- If you’ve been offered admission, you’ll see the institution, faculty, and department.
- Click Accept or Reject the offer. Rejecting frees your slot for another candidate, so only reject if you’re certain.
Option 2: UNIPORT Admission Portal
- Visit aris.uniport.edu.ng.
- Log in with your JAMB Registration Number.
- If admitted, your admission details will display on your dashboard. Select the correct academic session if the portal prompts you to.
If your name is not on the list through either channel, it does not necessarily mean you have been rejected — UNIPORT releases admissions in batches, and, as of this update, is actively running a supplementary round for unplaced candidates.

UNIPORT’s admission process is ongoing. The university has not published one specific date for a full list release, but as of 15 August 2026, it has confirmed a supplementary admission round for candidates screened but not yet offered a course — meaning batches of the main list have already gone out. Check JAMB CAPS or aris.uniport.edu.ng directly for your personal status.
How do I check my UNIPORT admission status?
Log in to JAMB CAPS at efacility.jamb.gov.ng with your registered email and password, or log in to aris.uniport.edu.ng with your JAMB Registration Number. Both will show your admission status if you’ve been offered a place.
What is UNIPORT supplementary admission?
It’s a second round for first-choice candidates who were screened at UNIPORT but not offered admission into their chosen programme. Eligible candidates can apply for available slots in other departments. Applications close Friday, 28 August 2026.
What score do I need for UNIPORT supplementary admission?
A minimum of 160 in the 2025 UTME and a minimum Post-UTME score of 112, plus 5 O’Level credits including English and Mathematics that match the entry requirements of the programme you’re applying to.

Can I change my course if I’m not happy with what UNIPORT offered me?
Course changes go through JAMB CAPS, not the UNIPORT portal directly. If you’re applying for supplementary admission into a different department, acceptance is finalised via the “Transfer Approval” option on JAMB CAPS.

Final Thoughts
UNIPORT’s 2026/2027 admission exercise is still active, with a supplementary round now open for candidates who were screened but not yet placed. If you haven’t found your name on the main list, the supplementary window — closing 28 August 2026 — is your next real opportunity, provided you meet the score and O’Level requirements. Check your status directly on JAMB CAPS or aris.uniport.edu.ng rather than relying on third-party “list is out” claims, since UNIPORT has not published one single release date for this cycle.
