The Federal University of Lafia (FULAFIA) has released its admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session. Candidates who applied for admission into the university can now check their admission status through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
The admission list is being uploaded in batches, so candidates who have not received an offer should continue checking their status. Those offered admission must respond promptly, as failure to accept an admission or programme transfer offer may result in forfeiture.
How to check FULAFIA admission list on JAMB CAPS
FULAFIA candidates can currently check their admission status through JAMB CAPS using the JAMB e-Facility portal.
Follow these steps:
- Visit the JAMB e-Facility portal.
- Log in using the username and password associated with the JAMB account.
- Scroll down and select Check Admission Status.
- Click Access my CAPS to open the admission processing portal.
- Select Admission Status to check whether FULAFIA has offered admission.
Candidates using mobile phones may find that JAMB CAPS displays only a welcome message without the admission status options.
To access the full page, open the portal in Google Chrome, select the browser menu and choose Desktop site. This allows the desktop version of JAMB CAPS to display on the phone.
What the different JAMB CAPS admission statuses mean
Candidates checking the FULAFIA admission list may encounter different responses on JAMB CAPS. Each status reflects a particular stage of the admission process.
Admission offered
This means JAMB has approved the candidate's admission.
Candidates with this status can proceed to accept or reject the admission offer through the approved JAMB procedures.
Admission in progress (AIP)
An Admission in Progress status means the university has reviewed the candidate's application and recommended the candidate for admission.
The application is still undergoing the necessary approval process, including approval by the Head of Institution and final review by JAMB.
Candidates with this status must wait for the admission process to be completed.
Recommended
A Recommended status means FULAFIA has considered the candidate for admission and the recommendation is awaiting JAMB's review.
JAMB must review the recommendation to ensure that the candidate meets the applicable admission requirements before approval.
Not admitted
A Not Admitted status means the candidate has not received an approved admission offer.
This does not necessarily mean the candidate will not be admitted. FULAFIA is uploading admission offers in batches and some applications may still be awaiting consideration.
Candidates with this status should continue checking JAMB CAPS for changes.
Pending
A Pending status means the application remains under review and a final admission decision has not been made.
Candidates should monitor their admission status while processing continues.
How to accept or reject FULAFIA admission
Candidates offered admission into FULAFIA must accept or reject their offers through the approved JAMB admission response procedures.
The process depends on whether the admission is for the candidate's original programme of choice or a different programme offered through a transfer.
Candidates admitted into their chosen programme
Candidates admitted into the programme they selected during their application should proceed to accept or reject the admission offer.
The admission response can be completed through either of these methods:
- Biometric verification: Visit an approved JAMB CBT centre or a JAMB office to accept or reject the offer through biometric verification.
- SMS: Send ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number registered with JAMB.
Candidates using the SMS method must have at least ₦50 in their main airtime balance. The transaction cannot be completed using borrowed airtime or Xtra Credit.
The phone number used must be the one linked to the candidate's JAMB registration.
Candidates offered a transfer to another programme
Some candidates may receive an offer to transfer from their original programme of choice to another programme at FULAFIA.
Such candidates must respond to the programme transfer offer before proceeding with admission acceptance.
The procedure is as follows:
- Check JAMB CAPS for the programme transfer offer.
- Accept or reject the proposed transfer.
- If the transfer is accepted, proceed to accept the admission offer into the new programme when it becomes available.
Accepting a programme transfer and accepting the subsequent admission offer are separate steps. Candidates who agree to a transfer must still complete the admission acceptance process for the new programme.
What to do after accepting FULAFIA admission
Candidates who have successfully accepted their admission offers should proceed to print their JAMB admission letters.
The JAMB admission letter serves as an official record of the admission approved through JAMB.
Candidates who are still awaiting admission should continue visiting the JAMB e-Facility portal to monitor their status because admission offers are being uploaded in batches.
Those who receive an admission or programme transfer offer should respond as soon as possible to avoid losing the offer.
