Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has issued an important announcement to all newly admitted students regarding the forfeiture of provisional admission for the 2025/2026 academic session. This crucial update serves as a final reminder to all candidates who have been offered admission to the institution to act immediately or risk losing their admission slots.
UNIOSUN Warns Admitted Students: Accept Your Admission or Forfeit It
The management of Osun State University has officially notified all candidates who were offered provisional admission through the Merit List released on September 27, 2025, and the First Supplementary List released on October 12, 2025, to urgently confirm and accept their admission offers.
According to the statement, all candidates must accept their provisional admission on or before 12:00 noon on Monday, October 27, 2025. Failure to meet this deadline will automatically lead to forfeiture of the admission offer, meaning the university will withdraw the slot and possibly reallocate it to other deserving candidates.
This announcement underscores the importance of timely compliance, as UNIOSUN has made it clear that the acceptance window will not be extended under any circumstance.
Important Deadline for Admission Acceptance
The management has emphasized that all admitted students should log in to their respective admission portals and complete the necessary steps to officially accept their offers before the stipulated deadline.
- Deadline Date: Monday, October 27, 2025
- Time: On or before 12:00 noon
- Affected Candidates:
- Candidates on the Merit Admission List (released September 27, 2025)
- Candidates on the First Supplementary Admission List (released October 12, 2025)
Any candidate who fails to complete the acceptance process by the deadline will automatically lose their admission opportunity, and their slot may be given to another applicant waiting on the next admission list.
Steps to Secure Your UNIOSUN Admission
Although the university’s notice did not specify all acceptance steps, candidates are expected to follow the standard admission confirmation process, which typically involves:
- Visiting the official admission portal to log into their personal admission profile.
- Accepting the admission offer as displayed on their dashboard.
- Printing the admission acceptance letter as proof of confirmation.
- Proceeding with payment of acceptance fees as required by the university.
- Ensuring their admission status is updated to “Admitted and Accepted” before the deadline.
Candidates are strongly advised to double-check that their acceptance status is successfully registered to avoid technical errors that could lead to forfeiture.
Why You Should Not Delay Acceptance
Delaying your acceptance may cause serious complications. The university often proceeds to fill up forfeited admission slots with other candidates on the supplementary list. Once your admission is withdrawn, regaining the slot becomes almost impossible.
Students should therefore:
- Accept their admission immediately after confirming it on the portal.
- Avoid waiting until the final day to complete the process.
- Keep a printed copy of all acceptance receipts and documents as proof of compliance.
This notice is part of UNIOSUN’s effort to ensure proper admission documentation and to prevent candidates from losing their offers due to negligence or delay.
Management’s Final Word
The management of Osun State University congratulated all newly admitted students and urged them to take this notice seriously. The institution reiterated its commitment to maintaining a transparent and efficient admission process, but warned that non-compliance with official deadlines will not be entertained.
UNIOSUN further stated that once the acceptance deadline lapses, all unaccepted admissions will be considered void. Students who fail to act within the timeframe will have no claim to the admission, regardless of their earlier offer.
