The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has announced the commencement of online registration for the Post-UTME Screening Exercise for admission into all courses and programmes.

The 2023/2024 admission exercise screening is scheduled to commence on Monday, July 10, and Friday, July 28.

The registrar and secretary to the council of UNILAG, Ọladẹjọ Azeez, disclosed this in a statement on Monday..

To be eligible for screening, Azeez said candidates must have chosen the University of Lagos as their first choice in the 2023/2024 UTME and scored 200 or above.

Azeez stated that candidates must have obtained five credit passes at one sitting in relevant O/level subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.

He said only candidates who have uploaded their O/Level results on the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) on or before Sunday, August 13 will be considered for admission.

Azeez added that candidates who will not be sixteen years of age by Tuesday, October 31, are not eligible to apply, noting that prospects who do not participate in the Post-UTME Screening will not be considered for admission.

“Former students of the university whose admissions were withdrawn on the basis of poor academic performance or absence status could re-apply on condition that the new admission shall be for a new programme/course different from the former programme/course,

“Any student expelled from the University cannot be offered fresh admission.”

The screening fee is 2,000, according to the university, and to complete the registration process, eligible candidates should go to the University of Lagos website (www.unilag.edu.ng).

He also noted that the post-UTME online aptitude test will be held from Monday, July 31, to Friday, August 4.

The university official, however, urged candidates to strictly adhere to the guidelines and seek necessary clarifications, noting that it has a zero-tolerance policy for drug abuse and will withdraw the admission of any newly admitted student who tests positive for drug use, whether before or after registration.
