Good news for candidates waiting on University of Uyo admission! The school has announced that change of course applications are now open, and they're currently working on the supplementary admission list.
This opportunity is available for both JAMB and JUPEB candidates. If you wrote JAMB this year and scored 150 or above, plus you did the UNIUYO Post-UTME but didn't get your first choice course, this is your chance to try again with a different program. JUPEB students who also participated in the screening exercise can equally take advantage of this.
Available Courses
The university is offering admission into several departments. Here's what's available:
Social Sciences courses include Geography and Regional Planning, Political Science, Public Administration, and Sociology and Anthropology.
Under the Faculty of Vocational, Library & Information Science, you can apply for Home Economics Education, Industrial and Technical Education, or Library and Information Science.
When Can You Apply?
Mark your calendar because the window is pretty short. JAMB's change of course portal opens on Monday, October 20, 2025 and closes on Sunday, October 26, 2025. That's just one week, so don't sleep on this opportunity.
The school made it clear - if you miss this deadline, you won't be considered for admission this year.
How to Apply
The process is straightforward but you need to follow all the steps:
First, go to the JAMB portal and change your course to one of the programs UNIUYO listed in their announcement. This applies whether you're a UTME candidate or JUPEB student.
Next, make sure your O'Level results (whether WAEC or NECO) are properly uploaded on JAMB CAPS. You'll need to do this at any approved CBT centre.
Once you get an admission offer, accept it immediately. Don't waste time here.
Very Important Warning
Pay attention to this part - UNIUYO is giving just one week to accept any admission offer. If you don't accept within that time frame, your admission will be cancelled and you'll be marked as "refusal to accept." This means you won't be eligible for future admission into the school.
Also, the university wants everyone to know they don't work with agents or middlemen for admissions. If anyone asks you for money claiming they can help with your admission, that's a scam. Any payment you make to such people is your own risk.

You can visit the university's official website at www.uniuyo.edu.ng or call their Admissions Unit directly on 08077239479 if you have questions.
This is a real opportunity for both JAMB and JUPEB candidates who missed out the first time around. Just make sure you meet the requirements - your UTME subjects and O'Level results must match the course you're applying for. And remember, time is not on your side here, so start the process as soon as possible.
