How to Check Your AKSU Admission Status

Step-by-Step Guide via JAMB CAPS

1. Visit JAMB E-Facility Portal: Go to https://www.jamb.gov.ng/Efacility
2. Log Into Your Profile: Use your registered email address and password
3. Navigate to Admission Status: Click on "Check Admission Status"
4. Access CAPS: Select "Access my CAPS" from the menu
5. View Your Status: Look under "Admission Status" section

What Your Status Means

• "Admitted": Congratulations! You've been offered admission to AKSU
• "Admission Still in Progress": Your application is under review - keep checking
• "Not Admitted": No admission offer currently, but status may change as spaces become available

Critical: How to Accept Your AKSU Admission

SMS Acceptance Process

If your status shows "Admitted," you MUST respond to formally accept or reject the offer:

Option 1: Accept Admission

• Send: Text message "ACCEPT"
• To: 55019 or 66019
• From: The phone number registered on your JAMB portal

Option 2: Reject Admission

• Send: Text message "REJECT"
• To: 55019 or 66019
• From: Your JAMB-registered phone number

Important Notes About SMS Acceptance

• Use the EXACT phone number linked to your JAMB profile
• Type exactly "ACCEPT" or "REJECT" (no additional text)
• Send to either 55019 or 66019 (both work)
• You should receive a confirmation message after sending
• Messages from unregistered numbers will be rejected
• Don't add extra words or explanations in your SMS

Why You Must Accept on JAMB CAPS

Simply seeing "Admitted" is NOT enough. You must formally accept because:

• JAMB requires confirmation before finalizing admissions
• Unaccepted offers may be withdrawn and given to other candidates
• Universities cannot proceed with your registration until you accept
• Your admission letter won't be generated without acceptance
• Deadline for acceptance may result in loss of admission

Next Steps After Accepting Admission

1. Print Your Admission Letter

1. Return to JAMB CAPS after accepting
2. Look for "Print Admission Letter" option

4. Keep both physical and digital copies safe

2. Pay Acceptance Fee

• Check AKSU official website or admission portal for acceptance fee amount
• Payment instructions will be provided on the university portal
