FUHSI Ila-Orangun Post-UTME Registration 2026/2027: Requirements

Eligibility and Exemptions

Applications are open only to candidates who scored 180 and above in the 2026 UTME and have completed the procedures for changing their institution of first choice to FUMHSK, where applicable.

A few categories of candidates are exempted from the post-UTME exercise altogether:

• Candidates with disabilities, as stipulated by JAMB, are exempted from the post-UTME exercise.
• Candidates from outside Nigeria who participated in the 2026 UTME are also exempted from the post-UTME exercise.

If you fall into either of these exempted categories, it’s worth confirming directly with the university what alternative process applies to you, since this notice does not specify a separate procedure for exempted candidates.

Age Limit

In line with JAMB policy, only candidates who would be 16 years and above by September 30, 2026, are eligible to apply. Candidates should calculate their age against this specific date rather than their age at the time of application, since the cutoff is tied to September 30, 2026.

General Admission Application Requirements

Candidates must possess at least five (5) credit passes in relevant subjects in the WASSCE, NECO SSCE, NABTEB, or GCE O’Level examinations.

The number of sittings allowed depends on the course applied for:

• Not more than a single sitting for courses in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry
• Not more than two (2) sittings for all other courses

Candidates should also note that other matriculation requirements stipulated by JAMB apply on top of these O’Level conditions, so it’s worth reviewing JAMB’s general requirements alongside FUMHSK’s specific ones.

How to Apply: The Eight-Stage Process

The application is completed entirely online through the FUMHSK post-UTME portal. Here’s a breakdown of each stage.

Stage 1: Access the Admission Portal

Candidates visit the FUMHSK post-UTME Application Portal at www.fumhskportal.org/postutme/frontend/apply/index.html. The portal provides two categories of applicants to choose from: Nigerian (UTME) Candidate, or International Candidate.

Stage 2: Verify Applicant Details

Applicants are required to enter their JAMB Registration Number for verification purposes.

Stage 3: Create Application Account

Candidates create their application account and upload a passport photograph with a red background. This requirement comes with a strict warning: candidates without a red background on their photograph will be disqualified. The photograph must meet two additional technical specifications:

1. Format: JPG or PNG
2. Maximum size: 500KB

Given that a missing red background leads to outright disqualification, this is one detail candidates should get right the first time rather than risk correcting later.

Stage 4: Payment of Application Fee

The screening fee is ₦2,000 (Two Thousand Naira), excluding a separate portal application charge of ₦3,500. Together, this brings the total cost of applying to ₦5,500, even though the screening fee itself is quoted at ₦2,000.

Payment is made by clicking “Pay Now,” which redirects the applicant to the Remita payment gateway to complete the transaction. After payment, the applicant returns to the portal to continue.

Stage 5: Programme Selection

Applicants select their preferred programmes in order of preference:

1. First Choice Programme
2. Second Choice Programme

This means candidates aren’t limited to a single course selection and should think through a realistic second option in case their first choice isn’t available.

Stage 6: Submit Application

After completing all required information, the applicant clicks “Submit Application.” At this point, the portal automatically:

1. Validates all entries
2. Saves the application
3. Generates the final application record
4. Assigns an Application Number, if one hasn’t already been assigned
5. Marks the application as submitted

Stage 7: Print Application Form

Immediately after successful submission, the portal displays the Application Number and a Confirmation Message. The applicant can then:

1. Download and print the Application Form (PDF)
2. Proceed to the Applicant Dashboard

Candidates should keep both the printed form and the Application Number safe, as these serve as proof of a completed submission.

Stage 8: Applicant Login

Applicants who have already created accounts can log back in using their email address and password. A successful login redirects candidates to their personal dashboard, where they will receive information on the scheduled date for the post-UTME exercise once the application period closes.

Important Disclaimer: Beware of Admission Fraud

FUMHSK has issued a direct warning to the public, parents, guardians, and prospective applicants about fraudulent activity involving individuals posing as admission agents or university representatives.

According to the university, these individuals have been soliciting money and promising guaranteed admission into undergraduate programmes for the 2026/2027 academic session. To be clear about what is and isn’t legitimate, the university has stated the following:

1. The university has not appointed, authorized, or outsourced any individual, group, or corporate entity to act as admission agents or collect money on its behalf.
2. All admission processes — including the purchase of post-UTME forms, payment of school charges, and checking of admission status — are handled strictly through the JAMB CAPS portal and the official university website, www.fumhsk.edu.ng.
3. All legitimate institutional payments are processed strictly online via Remita through the university portal.

This is a serious warning that candidates and their families should take at face value. If anyone approaches you offering to secure admission at FUMHSK for a fee, or claims to represent the university outside of the official portal and website, this should be treated as a red flag.

Application Timeline

The application window runs from July 13, 2026, to August 7, 2026. This gives candidates roughly three and a half weeks to complete their application, which is a fairly tight window compared to some other institutions. Given the number of stages involved — from account creation to payment to form submission — candidates are strongly advised to begin early rather than risk running out of time closer to August 7.

Practical Tips for Applicants

• Confirm your UTME score meets the 180 minimum before starting your application.
• Prepare a passport photograph with a red background in advance, saved as JPG or PNG and under 500KB, to avoid disqualification at Stage 3.
• Budget for the full cost of ₦5,500 — the ₦2,000 screening fee plus the ₦3,500 portal application charge.
• Choose a realistic second-choice programme, not just a first choice, since the portal requires both.
• Print your application form and note your Application Number immediately after submission.
• Only use the official FUMHSK website and JAMB CAPS for any admission-related process or payment, and disregard anyone claiming to offer guaranteed admission for a fee.
