📋 What to Do If You Are Admitted
| Step | Action |
|------|--------|
| 1 | Accept admission on JAMB CAPS — Click "Accept Admission" on CAPS. Your admission is not official until you do this. |

⚠️ Important Reminders
Admission Lists Are Released in Batches
If your name is not on the first batch, keep checking. Institutions like SAZU have already released both merit and second-batch lists. AUSU has released first, second, and third batches. Subsequent batches are usually released days or weeks apart.
JAMB CAPS Is the Final Authority
Some schools may publish admission lists on their portals before uploading to JAMB CAPS. However, the admission is only official once it appears on JAMB CAPS and you accept it. Always confirm your admission through JAMB CAPS before taking any further action.
Check Regularly
If your school of choice is not on the list at the moment, check regularly to know when it has been added. Many schools may not officially announce the release of their admission list, but the lists may have been uploaded on JAMB CAPS.
