The Adeyemi Federal University of Education, Ondo (AFUED), formerly Adeyemi College of Education, runs a single online screening form for UTME and Direct Entry candidates seeking admission into its degree programmes. The form is completed on the university portal after payment of a screening fee. This article sets out the current deadline, the cut-off mark, the Direct Entry requirements, the application steps, and the mistakes that lead to rejection.
Current Deadline for the AFUED Post UTME Form
The 2026/2027 screening form opened in mid-June 2026 with an original closing date of Wednesday, 30 September 2026. The university has since extended the registration deadline, and the new date is Friday, 30 October 2026. Candidates who have not yet applied therefore have until the end of October to complete the process.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Session | 2026/2027 |
| Original closing date | Wednesday, 30 September 2026 |
| Extended closing date | Friday, 30 October 2026 |
| Screening fee | ₦2,000 (non-refundable) |
| Portal | portal.afued.edu.ng |
| Mode | Online |
An extension does not mean the form is better left until late. Candidates who wait often run into portal congestion, unready results, or unresolved JAMB institution changes, so early completion is the safer approach.
Who Can Apply for the AFUED Post UTME Form
The university invites two categories of candidates to obtain the screening form.
UTME candidates applying for degree programmes must have scored at least 150 in the 2026 UTME. This is the cut-off mark for all the degree programmes in the university’s admission notice.
Direct Entry candidates must hold a minimum of 7 points and at least one Merit pass in their course of study. This rule reflects the university’s NCE-based entry route, where grades are counted in points.
In both categories, the candidate must have chosen AFUED, Ondo as first-choice institution. A candidate who chose a different institution must change the first choice to AFUED for the degree programme before applying. The change is made through the JAMB process, and it should be completed before the portal application is started so that the details on both systems agree.
Degree Programmes Covered by the Screening
The 2026/2027 notice lists a wide range of degree programmes, mostly in education, along with several non-education options. The groups below summarise the spread; the full list is on the university’s admission notice.
| Area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Arts education | Christian Religious Studies, Islamic Studies, History, Music, Creative Arts, Fine and Applied Arts, Yoruba, French, English Language |
| Science education | Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Integrated Science, Agricultural Science, Home Economics, Physical and Health Education |
| Social science and management education | Economics, Geography, Entrepreneurship, Business Education, Social Studies and Civic Education |
| Education studies | Counselling Psychology, Adult and Continuing Education, Special Needs Education, Educational Management, Early Childhood Care and Education, Primary Education |
| Non-education degrees | Accounting, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Geography, Library and Information Science, Mathematics, Physics, Political Science, English Language, History and Diplomatic Studies, Linguistics, Music, Theatre Arts, Yoruba, French |
A candidate should confirm that the programme chosen on JAMB appears in the university’s list and that the entry subjects match the programme requirements.
O’Level Requirements
The notice requires O’level results to be supplied accurately on the portal, and it adds that candidates must upload their O’level results on the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). The general admission standard for federal universities is five credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings. The AFUED notice itself emphasises accuracy and the CAPS upload, so candidates should check the programme-specific subject requirements on JAMB’s brochure and the university’s admission pages.
Candidates whose O’level results are not yet released should wait for the release before applying. The form cannot be edited after submission, and an application filled with provisional or wrong result details creates problems later.
Application Fee and Payment
The screening fee is ₦2,000 and is not refundable. The notice allows payment through eTranzact or Remita at any commercial bank, and an online payment with a debit or credit card is also available. After payment is confirmed, the candidate returns to the portal to continue the application. Candidates should keep the payment receipt and reference number until the screening slip is printed.
Step-by-Step: How to Fill the AFUED Post UTME Form
- Pay the ₦2,000 screening fee through eTranzact or Remita, or online with a card.
- Open the university portal at portal.afued.edu.ng and register for the screening exercise once payment is confirmed.
- Fill in the online form correctly, since editing is not possible after submission.
- Upload a clear passport photograph in JPEG format, not larger than 50kb, taken without eye glasses or a veil.
- Upload the SSCE results (WAEC, NECO or NABTEB) and, where applicable, the NCE or ND results.
- Enter the O’level, NCE or ND details exactly as they appear on the certificates.
- Confirm that every field is filled and cross-check all entries.
- Submit the application form.
- Print the post UTME screening slip.
The portal requires an active email address and a working phone number, because the university contacts qualified candidates through them. The university states that it does not take responsibility for missed information caused by invalid email addresses or wrong or non-functional phone numbers.
Documents and Information to Prepare
| Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Payment receipt and reference | Confirms the screening fee |
| UTME registration number and score | Eligibility and identification |
| O’level result details (WAEC, NECO or NABTEB) | Result entry and upload |
| NCE or ND result (Direct Entry) | Direct Entry qualification |
| Passport photograph (JPEG, up to 50kb) | Portal upload |
| Active email address and phone number | Communication from the university |
A candidate who prepares the photograph in the correct size and format before starting avoids upload errors during the session.
Extra Requirement for Direct Entry Candidates
Direct Entry candidates have one more duty beyond the online form. They must submit hard copies of their NCE or ND results and transcripts to the Directorate of Senate Matters and Admissions at the university. The online application alone does not complete the Direct Entry process. Candidates who live far from Ondo should arrange delivery or personal submission early, using the contact details published in the admission notice.
Warning on False Information
The university states that a candidate who supplies wrong information may be prosecuted by law enforcement agencies, and the admission is withdrawn. This applies to result details, personal data and uploaded documents. A mismatch between the portal entries and the original certificates can be treated as false information, so accuracy matters more than speed.
Is There a Written Post UTME Exam?
The admission notice describes online registration and document submission, and it states that candidates considered prima facie qualified will be contacted in due course. It does not announce a written test or a CBT date. Candidates should watch their email and phone for any invitation and should rely on the university’s official channels for the next stage rather than unverified claims.
After Submission
After the form is submitted, the university reviews the applications and contacts candidates who qualify prima facie. Admission itself is processed through JAMB’s system, so candidates should monitor their JAMB profile for offers and accept within the time allowed there. Candidates with questions can reach the admissions office by email at admissions@afued.edu.ng or through the telephone numbers on the university’s official notice, and they should avoid unofficial contacts.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying without AFUED as the first-choice institution on JAMB.
- Submitting the form before O’level results are released.
- Uploading a photograph that exceeds 50kb, is not in JPEG format, or shows glasses or a veil.
- Leaving out the O’level upload on JAMB CAPS.
- Forgetting to print the screening slip after submission.
- Direct Entry candidates failing to deliver hard copies of NCE or ND results and transcripts.
- Using an email address or phone number that is inactive.
