- Confirm on the UNIPORT Portal: Visit the UNIPORT admission portal and confirm that your name is visible on the school’s end as well. In some cases, JAMB updates before the school portal does if your UNIPORT portal shows your name as “not yet released,” give it 24 to 48 hours and check again.

What to Do If Your Name Is Not on the UNIPORT Admission List
If your status shows “Not Admitted” after checking, here is what to do:
- Keep checking regularly. UNIPORT releases admission in batches and the process continues for weeks after the initial release date of October 11th. Your name may appear in a later batch. Check JAMB CAPS at least every two to three days.
- Ensure your O’Level result is on JAMB CAPS. One of the most common reasons candidates are skipped during admission processing is that their WAEC or NECO result is not visible on JAMB CAPS. If you have not uploaded your O’Level result yet, visit a JAMB-accredited CBT centre immediately and do so. This single step resolves admission delays for many candidates every year.
- Check that your course on CAPS matches your Post-UTME application. If there is any discrepancy between the course you chose on JAMB and what you selected on the UNIPORT Post-UTME form, your application may not be processed. Contact the UNIPORT Admissions Office if you suspect a mismatch.
- Wait for the supplementary list. If your aggregate score was borderline, you may still make it onto a supplementary or later batch list. Be patient and keep monitoring.
