Overview
The College of Nursing Sciences at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC) is accepting applications for its 2026/2027 National Diploma/Higher National Diploma (ND/HND) Nursing programme. The official application portal displayed “SALES OF APPLICATION FORM IS IN PROGRESS” when checked at 09:30 WAT on 7 October. The official advert gives Thursday, 8 October 2026 as the closing date, but does not state a cutoff time or timezone. Candidates should not assume the form remains available until midnight.
This is an active deadline, not a newly dated announcement: the advert does not show a publication date. Applicants should read the official OAUTHC admission advert and start from the official application portal. The university warns that no agent has been appointed to sell its forms.

Who should act
This form is for eligible candidates who sat the 2026 UTME and selected OAUTHC College of Nursing Sciences as their first choice. The university’s advert also allows applicants willing to change their institution choice to make OAUTHC their first choice through JAMB before applying. It names the Ife Hospital Unit and Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa; candidates may be posted to either campus after admission.
Before paying, check that the five required O’Level credits and the four UTME subjects match your records. Candidates using NABTEB should note the university’s restriction against combining that result with another examination result.
What to do next
1. Read the full OAUTHC advert, including the first-choice and result-upload instructions.
2. Confirm your O’Level result is uploaded to JAMB CAPS and that your institution choice meets OAUTHC’s requirement. If it does not, follow JAMB’s official change-of-institution process before completing the form.
3. Start from the OAUTHC application portal. The portal says payments are made by ATM card through Remita on that website; follow the on-screen instructions and do not interrupt the payment redirect.
4. If eligible, complete the form promptly. The stated closing date is 8 October, but no hour or timezone is published.
5. Keep the payment evidence and application acknowledgement. Check the portal for your CBT instructions; the advert states that the exercise is scheduled from 12 October but does not give a start time or venue.

Editor’s note
The official advert and live form portal are the sources for the requirements, fee and deadline. The advert has no displayed publication date, and no reputable independent report on this specific OAUTHC call was found. Keep the missing cutoff hour visible; do not add a midnight deadline or describe the form as open beyond the portal check recorded above.
