🏅 Step 1: Confirm Your Admission on JAMB CAPS

After seeing your name on the FUTMINNA admission list or receiving an admission notification, the first and most important thing to do is to accept your admission offer on JAMB CAPS.

How to do this:

Log in to your JAMB CAPS profile using your JAMB registration details.
Locate the “Admission Status” tab.
Click “Accept Admission” if FUTMINNA is displayed as your institution of admission.

✅ Important:
Never click “Reject” unless you are 100% certain you do not want the offer. Accepting on JAMB CAPS officially validates your admission.

🧾 Step 2: Print Your Admission Letters (JAMB & FUTMINNA)

Once you’ve accepted your admission, the next thing is to print both your JAMB and FUTMINNA admission letters.

Here’s why both are important:

The JAMB Admission Letter is your national proof of admission. You’ll need it during clearance, NYSC registration, and anytime you want to process official documents.
The FUTMINNA Admission Letter is your internal university confirmation letter. It contains your registration details, department, and course as approved by the university.

Both letters are required for screening and verification at the school. So make sure you print and keep multiple copies for safety.

💻 Step 3: Log in to the FUTMINNA Student Portal

After confirming your admission, proceed to the FUTMINNA Student Portal to begin your registration.

The student portal is a secure online platform where every FUTMINNA student can:

Access academic information
Pay school fees
Register courses
Check results
And complete clearance and hostel applications

How to log in for the first time:

Visit the official FUTMINNA portal and click “Student Login”.
Enter your JAMB Registration Number as your Username.
Your default password is usually your surname (in lowercase) — for example, if your surname is Adamu, your password will be adamu.
Once logged in, immediately change your password to something secure and easy to remember.

🧩 Step 4: Pay the Acceptance Fee

After logging in, your next task is to pay your acceptance fee. This payment confirms that you’ve accepted your admission offer from FUTMINNA.

Steps to pay:

On your dashboard, locate and click on “Payment” or “Acceptance Fee”.
Generate your Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) number.
Make payment online using your debit card or print the RRR to pay at any bank.
Once payment is successful, print your acceptance fee receipt and keep it safely.

💡 Tip: Without paying the acceptance fee, you cannot proceed to clearance or course registration.

🗂️ Step 5: Upload Required Documents for Clearance

After acceptance fee payment, you’ll be required to upload scanned copies of your credentials for verification.

Documents usually required include:

JAMB Admission Letter
FUTMINNA Admission Letter
Original JAMB Result Slip
O’Level Result(s) (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB)
Birth Certificate or Declaration of Age
Local Government/State of Origin Certificate
Passport Photograph
Acceptance Fee Receipt

Ensure all documents are clear, correctly named, and in PDF format before uploading. This makes your screening faster and smoother.

🏫 Step 6: Physical Clearance and Verification at FUTMINNA

After online clearance, you’ll be invited for physical verification at the campus. This is to confirm that your uploaded documents are genuine.

During physical clearance, you must come with:

All original credentials (for sighting)
Printed copies of your admission letters and receipts
Several passport photographs

📍 Venue: Usually, clearance takes place at your department or the Academic Office within the campus.
Follow the instructions on your portal for exact dates and venues.

💳 Step 7: Pay School Fees

Once cleared, the next major step is to pay your school fees for the session.

How to pay:

Log in to your portal again.
Navigate to the “Student Payment” section.
Generate RRR for school fees payment.
Pay online or at any bank branch.
After successful payment, print your payment receipt for records.

Your receipt will be needed for course registration and hostel allocation.

📚 Step 8: Course Registration

After paying your school fees, you can now proceed with course registration on the portal.

Steps:

Log in to your portal.
Click on “Course Registration” under your student dashboard.
Select your semester (First Semester).
Add all courses as listed on your departmental handbook or course outline.
Submit and print your Course Registration Slip.

💡 Tip: Make sure you register the right courses — missing or wrong course registration can delay your result processing.

🏠 Step 9: Hostel Accommodation (Optional)

Students who want to stay on campus can apply for hostel accommodation through the portal.

Click on “Accommodation” on your dashboard.
Generate payment invoice.
Pay using your RRR.
After successful payment, print your hostel slip which shows your hostel name and bed space number.

🧍 Step 10: Get Your Student ID Card and Matriculation Number

After completing all the above steps, you’ll be issued a Matriculation Number — this is your official student identity at FUTMINNA.
You’ll also receive your Student ID Card, which you’ll use to access facilities and sit for exams.

🎓 Step 11: Attend Orientation and Matriculation Ceremony

Finally, get ready for the orientation programme and matriculation ceremony.
These events officially welcome you into the FUTMINNA community and mark the beginning of your academic journey.

During orientation, you’ll learn important details about:

The school’s rules and regulations
Academic structure
Student associations and facilities
