According to the university, only candidates who made UNILAG their first choice in the 2026 UTME and scored 200 and above are eligible to apply.
It also stated that applicants must possess five credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, and must ensure their O’level results are uploaded on both JAMB CAPS and the UNILAG portal before the deadline.
The university warned that failure to comply with key requirements would lead to disqualification.
It stated: “Only candidates who must have uploaded their O/Level results on JAMB CAPS and UNILAG application portal on or before Friday, August 14, 2026, will be considered for admission.”
UNILAG further pointed out that age remains a strict requirement. It noted that candidates who will not be 16 years old by September 30, 2026, are not eligible and need not apply.
It also stated that former students whose admissions were withdrawn due to poor academic performance or absence may reapply, but only on the condition that they seek admission into a different programme from their previous course of study.
Students who have been expelled from the university, the institution said, will not be considered for fresh admission under any circumstances.
UNILAG warns on screening, fees, conduct
All applicants are also required to take part in the online screening exercise, as the university warned that:
“Candidates who do not participate in the Post-UTME Online Aptitude test will not be considered for admission.”
The institution fixed the screening fee at ₦2,000 and the application fee at ₦3,500.

UNILAG, which also reminded candidates to use personal email addresses during registration, stated that this will serve as the main channel of communication throughout the process.
In a firm warning on discipline, the university added that it has “zero tolerance for drug abuse” and said admission may be withdrawn if any student tests positive during screening or after admission.
