Paying post-UTME screening change of course application processing fees at Federal University of Agriculture, Bassambiri (FUAB), Bayelsa State involves accessing the university admission portal, selecting an alternative academic programme whose departmental cut-off mark aligns with your screening aggregate score, generating a specialized Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) billing code under the designated university revenue account, completing payment of the prescribed administrative fee online or at any commercial bank, and submitting the confirmed transaction receipt to update your departmental consideration. Prospective candidates who do not meet the merit cut-off for their initial programme choice may apply for internal change of course into related disciplines within the university’s approved quota.
Completing payment via the authorized government revenue platform guarantees instant transaction reconciliation and queues your candidate profile for supplementary admission evaluation.
- Access the official FUAB student admission portal and log in using your JAMB registration number and surname.
- Navigate to the “Change of Programme / Supplementary Application” tab on the candidate dashboard.
- Review published departmental cut-off marks and select your proposed new programme from the approved vacancy list.
- Click “Generate Change of Course Invoice” to create your unique 12-digit Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) billing code on the Remita Platform.
- Choose your preferred payment method: debit card payment via online checkout, commercial bank branch payment, or internet banking transfer.
- Complete the payment and download the official electronic payment receipt displaying transaction status as “Successful.”
- Return to the FUAB portal and enter your confirmed RRR code to validate the transaction and update your programme preference on the university database.
- Print two copies of the updated FUAB Screening Application Docket reflecting your new department.
- Ensure that you also effect the corresponding change of course on the JAMB e-Facility Portal at an accredited CBT centre to synchronize your profile for JAMB CAPS transfer approval.
Candidates should ensure that their five qualifying O-Level subjects on WAEC Direct satisfy the statutory requirements of the newly selected department.
- 12-digit Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) receipt confirming successful fee payment.
- Updated FUAB Post-UTME Screening Application Docket displaying new departmental selection.
- Original JAMB UTME original result slip indicating requisite subject combinations.
- Authenticated O-Level certificates or verified online result slips from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB.
Failing to effect the matching change of course on JAMB CAPS prevents the university from recommending your admission on the central national portal.
FUAB admission regulations stipulate that payment of change of course processing fees does not guarantee automatic admission; candidates must meet all departmental cut-offs and satisfy statutory admission quotas.
Adhering strictly to established electronic billing procedures ensures transparent consideration of your change of course application and enhances your prospects of securing university admission.
Thank you for breaking this down so clearly. This answered the exact confusion I had regarding the registration requirements.
This is arguably one of the most concise explanations I have come across on this topic. God bless you for sharing.
Extremely helpful post. My younger sibling was facing this exact dilemma last week. I will share this link with him right away.
Please what is the recommended procedure if the school portal is not reflecting the payment receipt after completing the bank branch remita transfer?
Great inquiry. As a general rule across Nigerian tertiary institutions, once a payment is made via Remita, the confirmation is automated. However, network latency between the interbank settlement switch and the school portal can cause temporary delays. We advise taking a clear photograph of your payment slip and sending a support ticket with your application number and RRR code to the institution’s official ICT helpdesk. In virtually all cases, transactions are validated within one business day without any forfeiture of admission or screening eligibility.
Thank you author for this timely post. The information here helped me avoid making a costly mistake on my application form.
A very comprehensive review. It is refreshing to read an educational article written in plain everyday English without unnecessary jargon.
Thank you for shedding light on this issue. Our school counselor never explained the difference between the aggregate score and the raw UTME mark like this.
This guide covers all the critical angles. Parents and guardians also need to read this so they can properly assist their wards during admission season.
Please I need a quick clarification: can an applicant who has already uploaded their O-level result make changes if there was an omission of a required subject?
Thank you for contacting EduTalks. Regarding subject combination discrepancies: if your chosen UTME subject combination does not align strictly with the National Universities Commission (NUC) and JAMB brochure requirements for that faculty, you must immediately apply for a Change of Course on the JAMB portal to an aligned discipline. Universities conduct automated eligibility filtering, and mismatched combinations will result in disqualification regardless of a high aggregate score.
Insightful analysis. Many students get disqualified annually simply because they fail to follow these exact guidelines highlighted here.
