Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) has released its admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session and candidates seeking undergraduate admission can now check their status through JAMB CAPS.
Candidates who receive an admission offer will be able to respond through the stated JAMB acceptance or rejection channels.
The exact response displayed on CAPS will show the stage reached by each candidate's admission application.
OOU Admission Status Is Available on JAMB CAPS
Candidates can check their OOU admission status through the JAMB EFacility portal.
A JAMB CAPS admission guide is also available for candidates who need help with the checking process.
JAMB login details will be required.
How to Check OOU Admission List
Candidates can use the following steps:
- Visit the JAMB EFacility portal.
- Log in with the JAMB username and password.
- Scroll to Check Admission Status.
- Select Access my CAPS.
- Open Admission Status to view the current OOU admission decision.
The response displayed on CAPS should be read carefully before the candidate takes another action.
JAMB CAPS Admission Status Meanings
Different responses may appear while an OOU admission application is being processed.
Admission Offered
Admission Offered means JAMB has approved the admission.
The candidate can proceed to accept or reject the offer through the stated JAMB channels.
Admission in Progress
Admission in Progress, often shown as AIP, means OOU has reviewed the application and recommended the candidate for admission.
The recommendation is awaiting the remaining approval stages before a final JAMB decision.
Recommended
Recommended means OOU has considered the candidate and the application is awaiting JAMB review.
A final admission offer has not yet been displayed.
Not Admitted
Not Admitted means the candidate has not been selected or approved for admission at that point.
The supplied information states that this response may appear where the admission list has not yet covered the candidate or the application remains under review.
Pending
Pending means the application is still being reviewed and no final decision has been displayed.
The candidate can continue checking CAPS for an updated response.
How Admitted OOU Candidates Can Accept or Reject Admission
Candidates offered admission can respond through biometrics at an approved JAMB CBT centre.
An SMS option is also stated.
The candidate should send:
ACCEPT or REJECT
to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number registered with JAMB.
The registered line should have up to ₦50 on the main balance, as the supplied information states that the charge is not taken from borrowed airtime or Xtra Credit.
Candidates should confirm the intended response before completing the process.
JAMB Admission Letter After Acceptance
A candidate who accepts the OOU admission offer can proceed to print the JAMB admission letter.
The supplied JAMB admission letter guide covers this stage.
This step comes after the admission offer has been accepted through the stated JAMB process.
Checking OOU Admission Status on a Phone
Some candidates using a mobile phone may see only the CAPS welcome page rather than the complete admission-status options.
Chrome users can switch the browser to desktop mode by opening the browser menu and choosing Request desktop site.
The full CAPS page can then be displayed, including the Admission Status section.
What the CAPS Response Means for the Next Step
A candidate with Admission Offered can move to the acceptance or rejection stage.
AIP, Recommended and Pending responses mean the admission process has not reached the final offered stage, so the candidate can continue checking for an updated decision.
A Not Admitted response means no admission offer has been displayed at that time.
