Are you an undergraduate student of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) who needs to regularize your admission with JAMB?

This comprehensive guide will take you step by step through the process of obtaining your JAMB registration number and admission letter.

Who Needs JAMB Regularization?

All undergraduate NOUN students who were admitted without going through the standard JAMB UTME process need to complete JAMB regularization. This applies to you if you don't have a JAMB registration number or admission letter from your admission year.

Exception: If you already used JAMB during your admission processing and have your JAMB number and admission letter, you don't need this process.

What You'll Need Before Starting

Before you begin, make sure you have:

👉Your National Identity Number (NIN) from NIMC
👉A working phone number
👉Your O'Level result(s) (maximum of 2 sittings)
👉Valid email address
👉Access to a JAMB office or Accredited CBT Centre
👉Money for CBT Centre service charge and admission letter printing fee

The Complete 7-Step Process

Step 1: Generate Your JAMB Profile Code

The first step is obtaining your profile code:

👉Locate your NIN number from NIMC
👉Send your NIN via SMS from any phone number to 55019 or 66019 e.g NIN the_nin_number => 55019 or 66019 "NIN 123456789"
👉You'll receive your JAMB profile code in response

Important: Keep this profile code safe as you'll need it in the next step.

Step 2: Create Your JAMB Profile

Now it's time to visit a JAMB office or Accredited CBT Centre:

👉Using your email address and the profile code from Step 1, create an account on the JAMB e-registration app
👉Fill in all relevant personal details accurately to complete your JAMB profile

Step 3: Pay the CBT Centre Service Charge

Once your profile is created:

👉Proceed to pay the CBT Centre service charge
👉This payment covers the registration service at the centre

Note: The service charge may vary depending on the CBT Centre location.

Step 4: Complete Your Registration

While at the JAMB office or Accredited CBT Centre, follow these steps carefully on the dual screen in front of you:

👉Select NOUN: Choose "NOUN" under "Other Registrations"
👉Enter O'Level details: Input the relevant subjects from your O'Level result(s) and enter your credits (maximum of 2 sittings)
👉Choose your institution: Select National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) as your First Choice and specify your course of study
👉Biometric capture: Complete fingerprint capture for all fingers and facial recognition
👉Upload documents: Upload a scanned copy of your O'Level result(s) - not exceeding 2 sittings
👉Submit and print: Submit your application and print out your JAMB Regularization Slip

What Does the JAMB Regularization Slip Look Like?

After completing your registration, you'll receive a JAMB Regularization Slip for NOUN. This is an important document that confirms your regularization details. You can view a sample of what the JAMB regularization slip looks like here.

The JAMB Regularization Slip contains:

👉Your JAMB Registration Number
👉Your personal details
👉Institution choice (NOUN)
👉Course of study
👉O'Level subject details
👉Biometric confirmation

Keep this slip safe - you'll need the JAMB Registration Number for the next steps!

Step 5: Check Your Admission Status

After registration, it's time to check if your admission has been processed:

👉Log into your JAMB profile
👉Click on "Check Admission Status"
👉Select your admission year (e.g., 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination - UTME)
👉Enter your JAMB Registration Number from your regularization slip
👉Click on "Access to CAPS" for your admission

Step 6: Accept Your Admission

Once you've confirmed your admission status:

👉Click on "Access My CAPS"
👉Select "NOUN" Admissions
👉Click on "Accept Admission"

This step is crucial - your admission isn't complete until you accept it!

Step 7: Print Your Admission Letter

The final step is printing your official admission letter:

👉Return to the JAMB Portal
👉Select your admission year (e.g., 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination - UTME)
👉On the side menu, click "Print Admission Letter"
👉When asked "Have you checked your Admission Status?", click "Yes"
👉Make payment through Xpress Payments for printing the admission letter
👉Complete the payment using your preferred payment gateway
👉Select your admission year again
👉Click on "Print Admission Letter" to download your admission letter
👉Enter your JAMB Registration Number

After completing all these steps, JAMB will verify your admission and you'll be issued your JAMB regularization number.
