FULOKOJA: Fix programme mismatch with JAMB — what affected students must do
What FULOKOJA students must do if their university programme differs from their JAMB admission letter
The Federal University Lokoja (FULOKOJA) has directed undergraduate students whose Programme of Study at the university does not match the course shown on their JAMB admission letter to take immediate corrective action.
Required steps (as directed by the university)
- Visit the JAMB office in Lokoja to formally apply for a Change of Programme.
- Submit a printed hard copy of the completed Change of Programme form to the Admissions Division at the Senate Building, Felele Campus.
The university will carry out further processing with JAMB once it receives the hard copy in Admissions.
Documents and items to prepare before you visit JAMB
- Original JAMB admission letter (printout) and a photocopy.
- Valid form of identification (national ID, state ID, or student ID).
- Completed Change of Programme form (obtainable at the JAMB office or filled on-site if provided).
- Recent passport photograph(s) as required by JAMB.
- Proof of any payment required by JAMB for the change (keep receipts).
- Printed acknowledgement or receipt from JAMB after submission.
How to follow up and check your status
After the university submits documents to JAMB, check your admission/processing status regularly. Use JAMB's student portal for status checks: https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/.
Keep scanned copies of all documents and electronic receipts so you can present them if there is any delay.
If you missed the deadline
The university set a deadline for submission; if you were unable to meet it, act immediately:
- Go to the Admissions Division at the Senate Building (Felele Campus) and explain your situation. Ask if an extension or special handling is possible.
- Proceed to the JAMB office to complete the Change of Programme application regardless of the deadline status — prompt submission and proof of effort may improve your chances of correction.
- Keep written acknowledgements from both the university and JAMB for your records.
Practical tips for a smooth correction
- Start the process early — administrative corrections can take time to reflect on official systems.
- Keep physical and digital copies of every form, receipt and acknowledgement.
- Obtain a stamped receipt or official acknowledgement from the Admissions Division when you submit the hard copy.
- Follow up politely but persistently with both the university Admissions office and the JAMB office until the change shows on your JAMB profile.
- If you encounter resistance or need clarification, request to speak with the Admissions head or the officer in charge of student records.
