Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) has released the official dates and requirements for the 2025/2026 admission exercise. The announcement aims to guide newly admitted candidates on what to do, when to do it, and the consequences of missing any step.
Here is a clear breakdown of the OOU 2025/2026 admission schedule:
1. Matriculation Ceremony
- Date: Tuesday, 16 December 2025
- Event: All newly admitted students are expected to attend the official matriculation ceremony.
2. Final Deadline for Payments
- Date: Friday, 28 November 2025
- Requirement: Newly admitted candidates must pay the acceptance fee and school fees in full. Late or partial payments will disqualify candidates from matriculation.
3. Submission of Matriculation List to JAMB
- Date: Tuesday, 2 December 2025
- Action: OOU will submit the matriculation list to JAMB, in line with JAMB guidelines requiring two weeks’ notice before the ceremony.
Payments Every New OOU Student Must Complete
All admitted students are required to complete two key payments by 28 November 2025:
- Acceptance fee
- School fees
Failure to make full payments on or before the deadline will result in removal from the matriculation list and loss of admission.
JAMB CAPS Steps for Admitted Candidates
Candidates who have already seen their admission offer on JAMB CAPS must:
- Log in and accept the admission offer.
- Print the JAMB admission letter as proof of confirmation.
- Pay the acceptance fee.
- Pay the school fees in full before the 28 November 2025 deadline.
Any candidate who leaves their status as “offered” or delays payment will not be considered a fully registered student for the 2025/2026 session.
Consequences of Missing Deadlines
OOU management warns that candidates who fail to meet the 28 November 2025 payment deadline will:
- Be excluded from the matriculation list.
- Lose the admission offer for the 2025/2026 academic session.
Key Takeaway: Timely payment and proper completion of all steps are mandatory to secure a place at OOU for the 2025/2026 session.
