How to Apply for Change of Course on Portal After Supplementary List Ratification

Applying for an official change of course on university student portals following supplementary admission list ratification involves accepting the alternative course re-allocation on the Central Admissions Processing System (JAMB CAPS) and harmonizing departmental registration records on the university portal before academic session registration closes. When tertiary institutions publish ratified supplementary admission lists, successful applicants are transferred from their initial course of choice to an alternative department matching their aggregate score and institutional carrying capacity.

Executing this course change promptly across both national and institutional databases is mandatory to validate provisional admission and generate official registration dockets.

1. Access your candidate profile on the JAMB e-Facility Portal using your registered email and password.
2. Navigate to the “Check Admission Status” tab and click on “Access My CAPS” to open the admissions dashboard.
3. Click on the “Transfer Approval” module on the left-hand navigation menu to review the university’s recommended departmental transfer.
4. Click “Accept” to ratify the departmental transfer proposal; rejecting the offer forfeits provisional admission consideration.
5. Visit an accredited CBT registration center to execute a formal JAMB Change of Course transaction, harmonizing your national candidate profile with your new department.
6. Pay the statutory change of course fee through the integrated secure payment gateway to finalize profile synchronization.
7. Print your updated JAMB Admission Letter and institutional admission acceptance voucher.
8. Access the university student portal to update your profile and pay the statutory acceptance fee for the newly assigned program.
9. Print your updated university admission letter and proceed to your new faculty officer for physical file endorsement.

Candidates must ensure that their secondary school examination credentials satisfy all subject requirements for the newly assigned department.

• Updated JAMB Admission Letter reflecting the newly approved supplementary degree course.
• Verified O-Level results uploaded successfully to JAMB CAPS via WAEC Direct or NECO portals.
• University supplementary admission notification printout.
• Candidate original UTME examination result slip.
• Remita payment confirmation receipts for acceptance fees and change of course processing.

Failing to complete course registration adjustments on the portal prevents examination invigilators from admitting you to semester assessments.

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board admission regulations stipulate that candidates who fail to execute a formal change of course to match their accepted transfer program will not be matriculated or mobilized for the National Youth Service Corps upon graduation.

Completing this administrative harmonization promptly secures your university admission and paves the way for seamless undergraduate registration.

Prospective scholars must maintain meticulous records of all online applications, payment receipts, and official institutional clearance dockets throughout their academic journey. Diligent documentation protects your candidate profile from administrative discrepancies and facilitates seamless physical verification across faculty screening desks.

Adhering strictly to statutory institutional bye-laws, examination regulations, and national regulatory guidelines preserves your academic integrity and ensures your tertiary degree is earned with enduring honour and professional distinction.
