COOU (ANSU) Admission List 2026/2027: How to Check and Register

The management of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), formerly known as Anambra State University (ANSU), has officially released the primary admission list for the 2026/2027 Academic Session. This announcement is for all candidates who participated in the institution’s 2026 Post-UTME screening exercise.

Prospective students are advised to check their status immediately on both the university portal and the national JAMB CAPS to begin their registration process.

How to Check Your Name on the School Portal

COOU has streamlined its admission checking process for the 2026 session. Follow these steps:

1. Visit the Portal: Go to the official COOU Admission Status Page.

2. Verify Status: Enter your JAMB Registration Number to see if you have been offered provisional admission.

3. Generate Invoice: If admitted, you are required to generate an Admission Status Fee invoice (currently ₦1,750) and pay via Remita.

4. Acceptance Fee: Upon successful status verification, candidates must generate an invoice for the Acceptance Fee (currently ₦60,000) and complete the payment within two weeks to secure the offer.

How to Accept Your Admission on JAMB CAPS

In 2026, your admission is only legally binding once it is accepted on the national portal. Follow these updated steps:

1. Login: Access your JAMB e-Facility dashboard using your registered email and password.

2. Check Status: Click on the ‘Check Admission Status’ tab.

3. Access CAPS: Click on the ‘Access my CAPS’ button.

4. Verify & Accept: Select ‘Admission Status’ on the left-hand menu. If an offer is visible, click “ACCEPT”.

   • Note: You can also accept the offer by sending ACCEPT as an SMS to 55019 or 66019 from your JAMB-linked phone number.

Next Steps: Physical Clearance and NELFUND

1. Faculty Clearance

After paying your acceptance fee on the COOU portal, print your Acceptance Letter and report to your respective Faculty Office (Igbariam, Uli, or Awka campus) with your original credentials, JAMB Admission Letter, and O’Level results for physical verification.

2. Financial Aid (NELFUND Student Loan)

For the 2026 session, COOU students are eligible to apply for the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).

• Loan Benefits: Admitted students can access zero-interest loans to cover 100% of their institutional charges and receive a monthly upkeep allowance.

• How to Apply: Visit the NELFUND Student Portal to register using your JAMB Registration Number and NIN.

Important Deadlines
