The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has officially released the Post-UTME screening results for the 2026/2027 academic session, a crucial milestone in the institution's admission process. The announcement, made on Friday, August 7, 2026, was communicated through an official notice directed at all candidates who participated in the screening exercise.
How to Check Your UNILAG Post-UTME Result
According to the university's notice, candidates are required to visit the official Post-UTME portal to access their scores. The notice stated: "The University of Lagos wishes to inform all candidates who participated in the 2026/2027 Post-UTME Screening Exercise that results have been released. Candidates are advised to visit the Post-UTME portal to check their results."
To view their individual scores, candidates must log in using their personal credentials on the university's Post-UTME portal. This step is essential for all applicants who completed the screening, as the results will play a key role in determining admission eligibility.
What Comes Next for Applicants
With the results now available, the admission process moves to its next phase. Candidates who performed well are advised to monitor UNILAG's official channels for updates on admission lists and any additional requirements. The Post-UTME score is a critical component that UNILAG combines with candidates' Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results to make final admission decisions for the 2026/2027 academic year.
The university has also emphasized that all official information regarding the admission exercise, including cut-off marks and registration procedures, will be published exclusively through its official platforms. This warning comes as a precaution against misinformation and fraudulent claims.
NANS Urges UNILAG to Reopen Fee Portal
In a related development, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has formally appealed to UNILAG management to reopen the school fees payment and course registration portal. The student body, through its president Akinteye Afeez Babatunde, requested that the portal remain accessible for at least 48 hours to allow affected students to complete their registration before examinations commence.
This appeal follows UNILAG's decision to shut down the portal approximately seven weeks before the first examinations, scheduled for August 10. NANS reported that many students were actively attempting to settle their fees when access was withdrawn, leaving them unable to complete course registration. The association warned that without intervention, these students could be barred from writing their exams, severely disrupting their academic progress.
UNILAG's Admission Process and Official Channels
Earlier, UNILAG had cautioned prospective students to rely solely on its official communication channels for information about the 2026/2027 admission exercise. The university specifically warned against misinformation, fraudulent claims, and unauthorised announcements. All updates, including Post-UTME screening details, cut-off marks, and admission procedures, will be disseminated through official university platforms.
For candidates who have checked their results, the next step is to await the publication of admission lists. Those who meet the required benchmarks should prepare for further instructions from the university. The release of these results marks a significant advancement in UNILAG's 2026/2027 admission cycle, bringing clarity to thousands of applicants across Nigeria.
As the process unfolds, candidates are encouraged to stay vigilant and verify any information through official sources to avoid falling victim to scams. The university's commitment to transparency and fairness in the admission process remains paramount, and candidates can expect further announcements in the coming weeks.
