5. Await Registration and Matriculation Information: FUTO will announce the schedule for registration, orientation, and matriculation for newly admitted students. It is essential for students to stay updated on these events by regularly checking the university’s website or visiting the admissions office.

Important Points for Admitted Students

• Confirm O’Level Requirements: Ensure that your O’Level results meet the program requirements, as discrepancies may lead to disqualification during registration.
• Stay Informed: All official information and updates regarding registration, orientation, and matriculation will be shared on the FUTO website. Regularly checking the website will help students stay informed.
• Prepare for University Life: As newly admitted students, you should begin planning for your move to campus, including securing accommodation, familiarizing yourself with your course requirements, and budgeting for your stay at FUTO.

What if You Were Not Admitted?

Candidates who did not make it on the FUTO admission list for the 2024/2025 session still have options. They can consider the following:

1. Supplementary Admission: FUTO may release a supplementary admission form for programs with available spaces. Eligible candidates can apply to be considered for these programs.
2. Transfer Considerations: Candidates may also explore transfer opportunities or other institutions offering related programs.
3. Consider Future Applications: Those not admitted this year can prepare for the next academic session, enhancing their academic profiles or choosing alternative courses aligned with their strengths and JAMB scores.

Congratulations to all the admitted students!
