The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has officially extended the screening and registration exercise for newly admitted undergraduate students for the 2025/2026 academic session. The process will now run for an additional two weeks, beginning Monday, 1 December, and ending Friday, 12 December 2025.

This extension offers both UTME and Direct Entry freshers more time to complete all required verification and documentation.

Updated Screening Dates for UNILAG Freshers

UNILAG maintains its faculty-based screening system. Each faculty will attend to its admitted students on specific dates and at designated venues within the campus.

New students are advised to:

• Follow the official schedule released by their faculty.
  
• Arrive on their assigned date and time.
  
• Bring along all necessary documents for verification.
  

The newly approved two-week extension applies only to candidates who have not completed the screening. Those who have already undergone the exercise do not need to return.
