The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has set Monday, July 28, to begin its online registration for the Post-UTME screening exercise for admission into all undergraduate programmes for the 2025/2026 academic year.

This is contained in a statement by Abosede Wickliffe, Registrar One and Secretary to Council, obtained from the institution’s website on Friday in Lagos.

According to the institution, the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration, which commences on Monday, will close on August 20.

“Eligible candidates who made UNILAG their first choice in the 2025/2026 UTME and scored 200 and above are eligible to apply for the Post-UTME online screening.

“In addition, candidates must possess five credit passes at one sitting in relevant Ordinary Level (O/Level) subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.

“Only candidates who must have uploaded their O/Level results on or before September 12 will be considered for admission. Candidates who will not be 16 by September 30 are not eligible and need not apply. Candidates who do not participate in the post-UTME online aptitude test will not be considered for admission,” the institution stated.

It further urged candidates to ensure they used their personal and active emails to register for the screening, as this would be the channel for communication.

The university added that its former students, whose admissions were withdrawn based on poor academic performance or absence status, could reapply.

It, however, noted that this was on the condition that the new admission would be for a new programme/course, different from the former ones.

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

“The university has zero tolerance for drug abuse, as it will not hesitate to withdraw admission of students who test positive for drug use whenever the institution conducts such a test, either before or after registration,” it added.

It noted that the mock examination for the Post-UTME online aptitude test would be held from Monday, August 25, to Wednesday, August 27, ahead of the official Post-UTME test, scheduled for September 1 to September 5.
