COOU Admission List 2025/2026 is OUT! Steps to Check Your Status and Secure Your Place
The long wait for candidates seeking admission into Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), formerly Anambra State University (ANSU), is finally over! The management has officially released the Admission List for the 2025/2026 academic session.
This pivotal moment confirms the provisional admission status for candidates who successfully participated in the Post-UTME/Direct Entry screening exercise. If you are one of them, it’s time to check your status and begin the crucial steps to confirm your admission.
How to Check Your COOU Admission Status
Your admission status can be reliably checked through two essential platforms: the official COOU portal and the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). You must check both!
Method 1: Checking via the JAMB CAPS Portal (Mandatory)
JAMB CAPS is the universal platform for accepting or rejecting admission. Follow these steps immediately:
- Visit the JAMB e-Facility: Navigate to the official JAMB portal
- Log In: Enter your JAMB Registration Number and Password.
- Activate Desktop Mode: If using a smartphone, ensure you switch your browser to Desktop Site or Desktop View to access the full menu.
- Access CAPS: Click on the ‘Check Admission Status’ tab, and then click ‘Access My CAPS’.
- View Status: Click on the ‘Admission Status’ tab.
- If Admitted: You will see “Congratulations, you have been offered Provisional Admission.” You must click “ACCEPT ADMISSION” immediately.
- If Processing: You may see “Admission In Progress.” This means your name is still being processed and you should check back later.
- If Not Admitted: You will see “Not Admitted.” If your score is competitive, you should check if you are eligible to apply for a Change of Course/Institution or a Supplementary Admission.
Method 2: Checking via the Official COOU Portal (For Confirmation)
While JAMB CAPS is the legal determinant of your admission, the COOU portal often provides specific details and instructions:
- Visit the COOU Admission Status Checker: Go to the COOU portal dedicated to admission checks (the specific link is usually provided on the official COOU website:
https://portal.coou.edu.ng/when the list is uploaded). - Enter Credentials: Input your JAMB Registration Number and other required details (e.g., examination year).
- View and Print: Your status will be displayed. If admitted, print your admission notification slip from the university portal.
Crucial Steps to Confirm Your Admission
Once you see that you have been offered provisional admission (especially on JAMB CAPS), your immediate actions are critical to securing your place:
1. Accept the Admission on JAMB CAPS
This is the most time-sensitive step. If you fail to click the “ACCEPT ADMISSION” button within the grace period given by JAMB, the university is automatically authorized to withdraw the offer and allocate the slot to another candidate.
2. Print Your JAMB Admission Letter
After successfully accepting the offer on CAPS, proceed to the JAMB e-Facility to print your Original JAMB Admission Letter. This document is required for all clearance and registration processes.
3. Pay the COOU Acceptance Fee
Visit the official COOU portal to generate your invoice and pay the acceptance fee. This payment is non-refundable and serves as your formal commitment to take up the space offered by the university. The university portal will guide you on the exact payment procedure and the amount required.
4. Proceed to Physical/Online Clearance
After payment, the university will soon announce the schedule for physical clearance/registration. You must prepare all original and photocopied documents, including:
- Original JAMB Admission Letter.
- COOU Provisional Admission Slip.
- JAMB UTME Result Slip.
- O’Level Result(s) (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, etc.).
- Local Government Identification Letter.
- Birth Certificate or Age Declaration.
Congratulations once again to all the newly admitted students! Ensure you follow the steps above carefully and promptly to avoid losing your provisional admission.
This announcement opens the door for candidates to check their admission status and see if they have secured a place in one of COOU’s first-degree programmes.
