The management of the Federal University of Lafia (FULAFIA) has released a crucial notice to all prospective candidates and newly admitted students for the 2024/2025 academic session. The announcement serves as an important guide for all who applied for admission into the institution, particularly those whose admission processes are yet to be fully completed.
According to the university’s management, every candidate who has been offered provisional admission or is still under consideration must take note of specific directives to avoid losing their admission opportunity.
Upload of O’Level Results: A Mandatory Step for Admission Confirmation
The first and most urgent directive from FULAFIA emphasizes that all candidates who are yet to upload their O’Level (WAEC, NECO, or equivalent) results on the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) must do so immediately.
This upload is not just a formality — it is a core requirement by both JAMB and the University for validating any admission offer. Candidates who fail to upload their O’Level results will not be recognized as fully admitted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
The university therefore strongly advises candidates to visit any JAMB-accredited Computer Based Test (CBT) centre or JAMB office to complete this process without delay.
Acceptance of Admission and Printing of JAMB Admission Letter
FULAFIA further directed that all newly admitted students must log in to their JAMB CAPS portal to accept their admission offer officially. After doing so, they are required to print out their JAMB admission letter, which will be needed during the screening and registration exercise.
This process confirms that the candidate has accepted the admission and allows FULAFIA to recognize the student as a bona fide member of the institution. Any student who fails to accept their admission on JAMB CAPS runs the risk of automatic withdrawal of the offer, as unaccepted admissions cannot be validated by the system.
Payment of Acceptance Fee on FULAFIA Portal
After completing the JAMB-related procedures, candidates are to proceed to the Federal University of Lafia official portal to pay the prescribed acceptance fee.
This payment serves as a formal indication that the candidate is willing to study at FULAFIA. The university warned that failure to pay the acceptance fee within the stipulated period may lead to forfeiture of the admission offer.
New students are advised to keep their payment receipts safe, as they will be required during physical clearance and departmental registration.
Adherence to Instructions Is Compulsory
FULAFIA’s management stressed that these instructions are not optional but mandatory for every admitted and prospective student. Non-compliance will automatically disqualify a candidate from being considered for final admission.
Students are encouraged to strictly follow the guidelines provided to ensure a smooth and successful admission process. The institution reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining transparency and fairness in its admission procedures, in line with national academic standards.
Summary of Key Steps for FULAFIA Admitted Students
| Step | Action Required | Where to Complete It |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Upload O’Level results | At any JAMB-accredited CBT centre or JAMB office |
| 2 | Accept admission offer | On JAMB CAPS portal |

Important Advice to Candidates
- Ensure your JAMB profile details (email, phone number, and password) are active and correct before visiting a CBT centre.
- Always verify that your O’Level result upload reflects “Result Uploaded Successfully” on your CAPS dashboard.
- Avoid using unauthorized agents or third parties for any admission-related transaction. Only recognized JAMB centres and the official FULAFIA portal should be used.
- Keep all printed documents such as JAMB admission letter, acceptance fee receipt, and result slips in a safe folder for screening.
Final Word from FULAFIA Management
The university management used the opportunity to congratulate all newly admitted students for earning a place at FULAFIA. It assured them that the institution remains dedicated to providing a conducive academic environment, quality teaching, and research excellence.
However, students were also reminded that failure to comply with the outlined steps could result in the loss of their admission slot. The notice serves as a final reminder for all candidates to complete their admission formalities on time.
Conclusion:
This latest notice from FULAFIA highlights the importance of prompt action by all new and prospective students. As the admission process enters its final phase, candidates must ensure full compliance with all outlined procedures to secure their spot for the 2024/2025 academic session.
Students are therefore advised to act swiftly, follow all official instructions, and stay updated on further announcements from the university.
