Frequently asked questions

Is the ACU admission form for 2026/2027 out?

ACU announces form sales on its portal (acu.edu.ng); full-time entry for 2027/2028 starts with JAMB UTME registration, expected late January 2027. This page is updated when sales open.

How much is the ACU admission form?

JAMB caps the screening charge at ₦2,000 with no hidden add-ons; in practice several universities (UI, LAUTECH, UNIOSUN, AAUA, FUNAAB) charge a separate ₦3,000 ‘portal access’ fee, so budget ₦2,000–₦5,000 for post-UTME screening; HND/part-time/postgraduate forms are priced by the school. Check the portal invoice.

Can I apply to ACU without JAMB?

Full-time ND/NCE/degree and basic nursing entry requires JAMB UTME or Direct Entry. HND, part-time, postgraduate, pre-ND/remedial and post-basic nursing programmes are applied for directly with the school.

What is the closing date for the ACU form?

Closing dates are set per session and shown on the portal advert; apply early because late applications are rarely accepted.

Can I combine two sittings for ACU?

Yes for most programmes; a few professional courses require one sitting. Check the programme requirement.
