Overview

The University of Cross River State (UNICROSS), formerly known as Cross River University of Technology (CRUTECH), is a premier state-owned conventional university located in South-South Nigeria. Established in 2002 and renamed in 2021, the university operates a decentralized multi-campus model across Calabar, Obubra, Ogoja, and Okuku, offering a robust array of programs ranging from engineering and basic medical sciences to communication technology.

With its main administrative hub in the vibrant city of Calabar, UNICROSS offers a dynamic environment for learning. The multi-campus structure allows students to focus closely on their specific disciplines—such as agriculture in Obubra or management in Ogoja. The university utilizes a highly integrated 'eduportal' where students generate a unique Student Payment Code (SPC) to manage all their fees and registrations seamlessly.

You must ensure your scanned documents are at least 50kb in size and include a red or white background passport photo along with valid scratch card details. Do not forget to cross-check that your O'Level results are also successfully uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal.
