UNN UTME Candidates Must Complete JAMB CAPS Course Change by November 17

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka has issued an urgent directive to prospective students who received provisional admission offers in courses different from their original JAMB applications. These candidates must take immediate action before the November 17, 2025 deadline.

What You Need to Do

If you were offered admission into a course different from your initial JAMB application, you must visit an accredited CBT centre to complete these critical steps:

1. Access the JAMB CAPS portal
2. Change your course from your originally applied program to the newly recommended course
3. Print your updated admission status from CAPS
4. Submit the printed status to the UNN Admissions Office

Why This Matters

According to UNN's notice, JAMB CAPS is the only authentic way of gaining admission to Nigerian universities. Candidates who fail to complete this process before noon on Monday, November 17, 2025 risk having their admission offers jeopardized.

Who Is Affected?

This directive specifically applies to candidates in the supplementary and shopping admission categories who were offered alternative courses rather than their first-choice programs. If you fall into this category, treat this as an urgent matter requiring immediate attention.

The university emphasized that proper recommendation in the JAMB system is essential for admission processing to proceed smoothly.
