The University of Lagos has extended the deadline for prospective UTME candidates taking part in the 2026/2027 admission exercise to upload their O’Level results and the new closing date is Monday, 24 August 2026.
The requirement covers WAEC, NECO, GCE and Cambridge O’Level results. Candidates are expected to have their results properly reflected on JAMB CAPS by the deadline to remain under consideration for admission.
UNILAG O’Level Upload Deadline For 2026/2027
Monday, 24 August 2026 is the extended deadline for the O’Level result upload connected with the University of Lagos 2026/2027 admission exercise.
Prospective UTME candidates are expected to complete the required uploads on or before that date.
The result must be available through the required admission system before the deadline, since candidates whose O’Level results are not properly reflected on JAMB CAPS will not be considered for admission.
O’Level Results Covered By The UNILAG Deadline
The extended deadline applies to the O’Level result types stated for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.
These are:
- WAEC results
- NECO results
- GCE results
- Cambridge O’Level results
Candidates using any of these results are covered by the Monday, 24 August 2026 deadline.
O’Level Results Are Required On JAMB CAPS And UNILAG Portal
Candidates are expected to have their O’Level results uploaded in two places before the deadline.
The required platforms are:
The University of Lagos Portal upload is for backup purposes, while the candidate’s result must also be properly reflected on JAMB CAPS.
Both uploads should be completed on or before Monday, 24 August 2026.
JAMB CAPS Result Status Must Be Confirmed
Uploading an O’Level result is followed by a confirmation check on JAMB CAPS.
Candidates are expected to refresh the CAPS page after the upload and check whether the O’Level result is fully and correctly reflected on the system. This check is part of confirming that the submitted result is visible where it is required for the admission process.
A result that has been submitted but is not properly reflected on JAMB CAPS does not meet the stated admission condition.
How Candidates Can Check Their O’Level Upload
The required check is centred on JAMB CAPS, where candidates are expected to confirm that their result details are visible and correct.
The process stated for candidates is:
- Have the O’Level result uploaded on JAMB CAPS.
- Have the same result uploaded on the University of Lagos Portal for backup purposes.
- Return to JAMB CAPS after the upload.
- Refresh the CAPS page.
- Confirm that the uploaded result is fully and correctly reflected on the system.
The final check is important because admission consideration depends on the O’Level result being properly reflected on JAMB CAPS by the deadline.
Candidates With Missing CAPS Results Will Not Be Considered
UNILAG has stated that prospective candidates whose O’Level results are not properly reflected on JAMB CAPS by Monday, 24 August 2026 will not be considered for admission.
Candidates should therefore distinguish between having started an upload and having a result that is correctly visible on CAPS. The stated requirement is based on the result being properly reflected on the system.
The deadline applies to this required result status.
UNILAG Portal Upload Serves As Backup
The University of Lagos Portal is also part of the O’Level result upload process for prospective UTME candidates.
Candidates are expected to upload their results through the UNILAG admission portal, with this upload serving as a backup. The JAMB CAPS requirement remains part of the admission process, so the University portal upload does not replace the need for the result to appear correctly on CAPS.
Both platforms are covered by the stated deadline.
Candidates Should Keep Checking UNILAG Admission Updates
Prospective candidates are advised to keep checking the University’s website and other official communication channels for further information about the 2026/2027 admission process.
This applies after the O’Level result upload has been completed and confirmed, since later admission updates may be issued through those channels.
