The exercise provides another opportunity for eligible candidates seeking admission into the university, particularly those who missed the initial screening held from July 21 to 25, 2026.
According to a statement issued by the university’s Registrar, Dr E. Jane Omoyine, the supplementary screening is also open to candidates who wish to change their institution of choice to FUPRE and participate in its admission process.
Registration will close on Sunday, August 23, while the supplementary screening will take place on Monday, August 24, and Tuesday, August 25, 2026.
Candidates are required to register through the university’s admission portal and pay a ₦2,000 screening fee.
To qualify, applicants must have scored at least 160 in the 2026 UTME conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
They must also have selected FUPRE as their first-choice institution or completed the required change of institution process, alongside having at least five relevant O’Level credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings.
The university further stated that applicants must be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2026. Accepted O’Level examinations include SSCE, NECO, GCE and NABTEB.
