The Federal University of Lafia (FULafia) has announced the schedule and requirements for its Post-UTME screening exercise for the 2026/2027 academic session. This applies to all candidates who applied for admission into the university’s degree programmes and are now expected to complete the next stage of the admission process.

If you applied to FULafia this year, this guide walks you through everything the university has released so far — from eligibility requirements to the step-by-step registration process and payment options.

Who Needs to Register for FULafia Post-UTME Screening?

According to the official notice signed by the Registrar, Dr Nuradeen Abdu, all candidates who applied for admission into FULafia’s degree programmes for the 2026/2027 session are required to register for the post-UTME screening exercise online.

This also includes students of FULafia’s Remedial and IJMB (Interim Joint Matriculation Board) programmes, who must go through the same post-UTME screening process before they can be considered for admission.

Eligibility Requirements for Screening

Before registering, candidates should confirm they meet the following conditions:

Academic (O’Level) Requirement

Candidates must have five (5) credit passes in relevant subjects, including Mathematics and English Language, obtained in not more than two sittings.

JAMB UTME Score Requirement

A minimum UTME score of 170 is generally required, but some courses have higher thresholds:

• 200 and above – Anatomy and Physiology
• 210 and above – Nursing and Radiography
• 220 and above – Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) and Pharmacy
• 230 and above – Medicine and Surgery (MBBS)

Direct Entry Candidates

Applicants seeking admission through Direct Entry must have a minimum of Merit, or a Lower Credit grade, from their previous qualification.

First Choice Requirement

Candidates must have chosen Federal University of Lafia as their first-choice institution on their JAMB application.

If you’re unsure whether your JAMB score or O’Level results meet these requirements, it’s worth double-checking directly on the JAMB portal or contacting the FULafia admissions office before proceeding.

Registration Period and Screening Fee

Registration for the post-UTME screening exercise opens on July 6, 2026, and closes on August 30, 2026.

All applicants are required to pay a non-refundable screening fee of ₦2,000 as part of the registration process.

Given the registration window, candidates are advised not to wait until the last few days, as portal traffic tends to increase closer to deadlines, which can slow down the process.

Step-by-Step Guide to Post-UTME Screening Registration

Here’s how to complete your registration on the FULafia admission portal:

• Visit the portal at https://my.fulafia.edu.ng/
• Create an account by clicking on “Apply.”
• Start your application by selecting “Post UTME Application 2026/2027,” then enter your JAMB number, email address, and a password of your choice. Click “Proceed.” You’ll be redirected to a login page.

• Log in using the same email and password from Step 3, then click “Proceed.” A unique ID starting with “FULUG” will be generated — copy this ID, as you’ll need to use it in place of your email for future logins.
• Verify your details. Check that the information displayed by the system is correct, fill in any missing biodata, and save your changes.
• Make your payment for the screening fee.

How to Pay the Screening Fee

Candidates can pay either online or at any commercial bank. If paying online, you’ll be redirected to Remita, where five payment options are available:

• Mastercard – Enter your card number, expiry date, and CVV, then click “Pay.”
• Bank Branch – Print the invoice and take it to any commercial bank for payment.
• USSD – Dial the appropriate code for your bank (for example, *737*00*Your RRR# for GTB, or *770*00*Your RRR# for Fidelity Bank) using the phone number registered with your bank.
• Internet Banking – Select your bank from the dropdown menu and follow the prompts.
• E-Wallet – Payment can also be made using a Paga account.

Important: Your payment must be initiated from the MIS (portal) platform. Any Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) that is not generated through the portal will not be recognised, and this could prevent successful registration. Candidates should avoid generating payment references outside the official portal.

If you pay online, you’ll be redirected automatically to continue your registration once payment is confirmed. If you choose a different payment method (such as bank branch or USSD), you’ll need to log back into your portal account afterward. The system will then verify that payment was made before allowing you to continue.

After Payment: Final Steps

Once payment is confirmed, candidates should complete the following steps:

1. Verify your O’Level result(s) — either WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB — on the portal and save.
2. Return to the portal, refresh the page, and print out the summary of your application along with your payment receipt. Keep both documents safe, as you may need them later during physical screening or documentation.
3. Wait for notification of admission from the university.

A Note for Remedial and IJMB Students

The university has specifically stated that students currently enrolled in FULafia’s Remedial and IJMB programmes are also required to participate in this post-UTME screening exercise if they wish to be considered for admission. This group should not assume they are exempt simply because they are already affiliated with the institution.

Practical Tips for Applicants

• Keep your JAMB details ready before starting registration, including your registration number and email used for JAMB.
• Use a valid, active email address, as this will be tied to your portal account.
• Save your unique FULUG ID somewhere safe immediately after it’s generated — you’ll need it to log back in.
• Only initiate payment from the portal to avoid an unrecognised RRR.
• Print your application summary and payment receipt once registration is complete, in case they’re needed later.
• Register early rather than close to the August 30 deadline.
