The University of Port Harcourt invites candidates who chose the university as their First Choice in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and obtained a minimum score of 160 to apply for the Post-UTME Screening Exercise for admission.

Online registration commences on Friday, 15th May, 2026, and closes on Friday, 29th May, 2026. Candidates are expected to log in to www.uniport.edu.ng for the registration procedure.

To register, candidates should visit the university website and adhere strictly to the Registration Procedure. Eligible candidates are to input their UTME Registration Number and confirm pre-loaded UTME details. They should then generate a Remita Code for online payment with their ATM Card or print out a Payment Slip and proceed to any bank with a Remita Platform to make a payment of N2,000.00 only.

After obtaining a Remita Receipt showing an Access Code from the bank teller confirming the payment, candidates should proceed online again and log in with their UTME Registration Number and the Access Code to confirm payment. They should then complete the form online as requested and click on the “submit button” to print their Registration Slip for the Screening Exercise.

Further details and the schedule of the Screening Exercise will be announced in due course. Candidates are advised to check the university website from time to time. They are also advised to get the official UNIPORT University Post-UTME Past Questions and Answers to prepare adequately for the screening.

Candidates who fail to register within the registration period will not be eligible to participate in the Screening Exercise. They must be sixteen years of age or above by September 30, 2026, to be eligible for admission. Mobile phones, iPad, iPod, Walkman, and similar gadgets or any extraneous materials will not be allowed into the Screening Venue and its environs.

Candidates must apply within the registration period as the online link for the Application Form will be disabled at midnight on Friday, 29th May, 2026. Registration is online; therefore, candidates are not compelled to be physically present on the university campus but are advised to register from any location.

Candidates who chose the university as their second choice and wish to be considered for admission can apply for the Screening Exercise ONLY when they have made a change to the University of Port Harcourt as their First Choice. They must ensure that their O’Level results are uploaded to the JAMB website (CAPS) as soon as possible, as those who do not will not be considered for admission.

Candidates must ensure that they register with their own valid personal telephone numbers and email addresses. When the Screening Exercise is scheduled, candidates must report to the designated venues as scheduled or risk disqualification. Parents and guardians, as well as uninvited security agents, will not be allowed into the campus on the days of the Screening Exercise.
