The Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has officially released the 2025/2026 merit admission list for candidates who participated in the recently concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) screening exercise. The announcement, made through the university’s admission office, marks the beginning of a new academic journey for hundreds of prospective undergraduates across its various campuses.
According to the statement, successful candidates can now log on to the institution’s undergraduate admission portal to confirm their admission status. This development has been eagerly awaited by thousands of applicants who sat for the screening exercise, which was conducted under strict guidelines to ensure fairness and transparency.
The university further directed all newly admitted students to pay a compulsory non-refundable acceptance fee of fifty thousand naira (₦50,000) only. This payment serves as confirmation of their provisional admission before proceeding with other registration formalities. The management warned that failure to comply within the stipulated deadline could result in the forfeiture of the admission offer.
Parents and guardians have expressed relief and joy over the release of the merit list, describing it as a significant milestone in their wards’ educational pursuit. Some of the admitted candidates, who spoke with The Nigeria Education News, expressed excitement at finally seeing their hard work pay off, noting that gaining admission into UNIOSUN had been their top priority.
The university administration emphasized that the merit list is strictly based on academic performance and compliance with admission guidelines. It also noted that supplementary lists for other categories of candidates, including direct entry applicants, will be released in due course. This, according to the management, is in line with the institution’s policy of ensuring inclusiveness and equal opportunity for all qualified candidates.
In addition to paying acceptance fees, admitted students are expected to undergo online clearance and subsequently visit their respective faculties for physical verification of credentials. The clearance process, as explained by the management, will help the university confirm the authenticity of documents submitted during the admission process and forestall cases of impersonation.
The release of the merit list has also triggered high traffic on the university’s admission portal, as many anxious applicants rush to check their status. The institution has, however, assured candidates of a seamless process, urging them to remain patient in case of network hitches.
UNIOSUN reaffirmed its commitment to academic excellence, student welfare, and transparent admission procedures. The management congratulated all admitted students and encouraged them to prepare for a rewarding academic journey. With this development, the university takes another bold step towards consolidating its reputation as one of Nigeria’s leading institutions of higher learning.
