The wait is finally over for aspirants of Rivers State University (RSU)! The management has commenced the release of the provisional admission list for the 2025/2026 Academic Session.

This is a crucial moment, and securing your spot requires swift and careful action. Whether you are checking your status for the first time or waiting for a subsequent batch, here is the official guide on how to confirm your admission and the essential steps you must take to claim your place.
How to Check Your RSU Admission Status
The primary channel for checking your admission status is the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board’s (JAMB) Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), followed by the official RSU website for clearance instructions.

  1. Check Via JAMB CAPS (Mandatory Step)
    Checking CAPS is the first and most vital step, as it is the central system that officially validates your admission.
  • Visit the JAMB Portal: Go to the official JAMB e-Facility website
  • Log In: Enter your registered Email Address and your Password.
  • Access Your Dashboard: Click on the ‘Login’ button.
  • Find CAPS: On your dashboard, scroll down and click on the ‘Check Admission Status’ tab.
  • Access CAPS: Click on ‘Access my CAPS’.
  • View Status: Click on ‘Admission Status’ on the left panel.
  • Confirm Admission: If admitted, you will see a message: “CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE BEEN OFFERED PROVISIONAL ADMISSION!”

💡 Mobile Users Tip: If you’re on a phone, use the Chrome browser’s options to switch to ‘Desktop Site’ or ‘Request Desktop Site’ to view the full CAPS page.

  1. Check on the RSU Website (For Clearance/Payment Details)
    Although JAMB CAPS confirms the provisional offer, you may need to check the RSU portal for the specific list and preliminary payment instructions.
  • Visit the official RSU website
  • Follow the instructions provided for “Admitted Candidates” to check the departmental list or get your admission details using your JAMB Registration Number.
    Critical Steps to Secure Your Admission
    Being offered admission is just the beginning. You must follow these steps within the stipulated deadline (usually two weeks from the date of publication) to secure your spot. Failing to do so will result in the forfeiture of your admission.
    Step 1: Accept or Reject the Offer on JAMB CAPS
    Immediately you see the congratulatory message on JAMB CAPS, you must:
  • Click the ‘Accept Admission’ button.
  • After acceptance, you can print your JAMB Admission Letter and your JAMB Result Slip. These documents are mandatory for RSU’s clearance.
    Step 2: Pay the Acceptance Fee
    RSU requires admitted candidates to pay an acceptance fee to confirm their readiness to take the offer.
  • Log onto the University Website
  • Generate a Transaction ID (or Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) code) for the Acceptance Fee (The fee is often around ₦50,000 but confirm the current amount from the official RSU notice).
  • Proceed to a designated bank or use the online payment gateway to make the payment.
  • Print your Acceptance Fee Receipt.
    Step 3: Commence Online and Physical Clearance
    Once your acceptance fee is paid, you must proceed to the university for physical screening and clearance at the Information, Communication and Technology Centre (ICTC) or the designated venue.
    Documents you must present for Physical Clearance (Originals and several photocopies):
  • RSU Acceptance Fee Receipt.
  • JAMB Admission Letter (printed from JAMB CAPS).
  • Original JAMB Result Slip.
  • Accepted Admission Status printout from JAMB CAPS.
  • Original O’Level Certificates (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) – Note that your result must be uploaded on CAPS.
  • Birth Certificate or Statutory Declaration of Age.
  • Local Government Area (LGA) Identification Letter.
  • Other printouts from the Student’s RSU Portal (e.g., medical forms, attestation letters, etc.).
    Important: The University will only issue an authority to pay school fees after a successful clearance and verification of all credentials.

What If Your Status is “Admission In Progress”?
If you are yet to be admitted, don’t lose hope. Admission is often released in several batches, including Merit, Catchment, and Supplementary Lists.

  • Continue Checking CAPS: The status will change to “Admitted” when your name is uploaded.
  • Ensure O’Level Upload: Verify that your O’Level results (WAEC/NECO) have been successfully uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal. Failure to upload the result means you will not be considered.
  • Check for Supplementary Forms: If you were not admitted in the merit list, be on the lookout for the official Supplementary Admission advertisement on the RSU website, which will allow you to change to a course with a lower cut-off mark.
    We wish all prospective students the very best as you embark on this new academic journey! See you on campus! 📚
