Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, has officially announced an extension of the registration deadline for its 2025/2026 Post-UTME screening exercise. This change provides prospective students with additional time to complete their applications and prepare for the examination.
If you’re an aspiring OOU student or a parent/guardian monitoring the process, this detailed guide covers everything you need to know about the new dates, eligibility requirements, and step-by-step instructions to ensure a smooth application process
Key Changes Announced by OOU Management
1. New Registration Closing Date
Initially set to close on Sunday, 3rd August, 2025, the Post-UTME application deadline has been moved to Sunday, 17th August, 2025. This two-week extension is aimed at accommodating applicants who may have faced challenges in completing their registration.
2. Rescheduled Examination Dates
The screening examination, which was originally scheduled for Tuesday, 12th to Friday, 15th August, 2025, will now take place from Tuesday, 2nd to Friday, 5th September, 2025.
Why the Extension Matters
The extension is not just a simple date shift; it comes with opportunities and responsibilities:
- Extra Preparation Time: Applicants now have more days to study and revise for the screening test.
- Technical Adjustments: Those facing network or payment errors can now complete their registration without missing out.
- Compliance Window: Candidates who haven’t uploaded their O’level results to JAMB CAPS still have a chance to meet this critical requirement.
Updated Guidelines for OOU 2025/2026 Post-UTME Candidates
1. Uploading O’level Results on JAMB CAPS
Applicants yet to upload their WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results must visit the nearest JAMB CBT center before Tuesday, 26th August, 2025. Failure to do so will prevent you from getting your Exam Pass.
Tip: Carry a printed copy of your O’level result and your JAMB profile code when visiting the CBT center.
2. Printing Your Exam Pass
Once your O’level details are successfully uploaded to JAMB CAPS, you can complete your OOU registration online and print the Exam Pass — a mandatory document for gaining access to the examination venue.
3. Direct Entry (DE) Candidates Special Instructions
If you have upgraded from UTME to Direct Entry, you must register for the Post-UTME using your new JAMB registration number ending with the letter “U”. Using the old number may result in your result not being processed.
