UNIUYO Reopens ₦2,000 Post-UTME Fee Portal for Admitted Candidates: How to Pay

The University of Uyo (UNIUYO) has reopened its portal for the ₦2,000 post-UTME screening fee, but this time for candidates who have already been offered admission for the 2026/2027 session and have not yet paid it. If you are on the admission list and skipped this payment, here is what the university has said, why it matters and how to pay.

What UNIUYO Announced

According to a notice issued on Friday, 16 October 2026, UNIUYO has reopened the payment portal for admitted 2026/2027 candidates who have not completed the ₦2,000 screening fee payment. The notice was signed on behalf of the Registrar by Mr Idongesit Nsubong, Acting Director of the Directorate of Information and Public Relations. The university advised the affected candidates to use its official website and follow the prescribed payment steps.

Payment of the outstanding screening fee is required before the affected candidates can continue with other admission registration steps, including payment of the acceptance fee.

UNIUYO ₦2,000 Fee: Quick Facts

Since no deadline was published in the reports, do not wait. Pay as soon as possible.

Who Should Pay?

• Candidates who have been offered admission to UNIUYO for the 2026/2027 session.
• Candidates who have not completed the ₦2,000 post-UTME screening payment.

If you already paid and completed the screening, you do not need to pay again. Check your payment status on the portal first.

How to Pay the ₦2,000 Fee

The university’s published screening guidelines describe the standard payment process. Based on the 2026/2027 instructions, follow these steps and confirm them on the portal if the interface has changed:

1. Visit the UNIUYO e-portal at eportals.uniuyo.edu.ng and open the Admissions Portal, or go directly to admissions.uniuyo.edu.ng.
2. Log in. First-time users create an account with their details and verify their email.
3. Go to the Application Fee section and select your application type (Post-UTME or Direct Entry).
4. Generate a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) for ₦2,000.
5. Pay online with your card or take the RRR to a commercial bank branch.
6. Return to the portal and confirm your payment.
7. Print your acknowledgement or screening slip and keep your receipt.

Older guides also mention a “Pay Screening Fee/Acceptance” link on the e-portal sidebar, so look for that if you cannot find the Application Fee section. Use only the official UNIUYO website and portal.

Why This Payment Matters

UNIUYO’s screening guidelines say candidates who do not register for the post-UTME screening will not be considered for admission, with exemptions for foreign candidates, inmates of correctional centres and blind or deaf candidates. For admitted candidates who skipped the fee, the reopened portal is a chance to regularise their record before moving on to acceptance and clearance.

What Comes After: Acceptance Fee

Once your screening fee is settled, you can go on to pay the acceptance fee, which confirms that you are taking up your offer. The amount for 2026/2027 is reported differently by different sources:

• One October 2026 report says the acceptance fee is ₦40,000, up from ₦30,000 last year, as part of a revised fee structure.
• Some older or general guides still mention ₦25,000 or ₦30,000.

I could not confirm the figure from the university’s own notice, so check the amount on the portal before you pay. Also remember to accept your admission on the JAMB CAPS portal and print your JAMB admission letter.

Tips and Scam Warning

• Pay only through the university’s official portal and Remita. Do not send money to individuals.
• Make sure the name, JAMB number and amount on the RRR match your details before you pay.
• Keep the RRR, receipt and printed slip for clearance.
• Be careful of social-media accounts promising special access or “faster” admission processing.
