💡 Pro Tip: To secure admission, you MUST change your first choice institution to CCU on JAMB CAPS and upload your O'Level results.

Verified by AdmitNode Experts
CCU's admission process is highly structured. Ensure you print your JAMB admission letter and have exactly 8 passport photographs and all required receipts before heading to the Admission Office. Direct Entry candidates have a significant advantage as they do not need to hunt down transcripts from their previous institutions—just the final certificate or statement of result is enough.
If you are in the Faculty of Allied Health and Applied Sciences (Nursing, Med Lab, Radiography), your fees are significantly higher (over ₦1.1M). Take advantage of the installment payment plans (e.g., paying ₦807,750 first and ₦405,000 later for Nursing) to ease the financial burden. The university bundles many services into the fee, so utilize the campus medical and sports facilities.
Acceptance rates for the BEMAPS category and standard science programs are very high. Competition is much steeper for Transfer and Direct Entry quotas into Nursing Science and Radiography.
