Checking your admission status on the KWASU portal is simple, but it must be done carefully to avoid mistakes. Here’s the step-by-step process:

1. Visit the KWASU admission status checking portal.
2. Enter your registered username and password.
3. Click on the Login button.

How to Confirm KWASU Admission on JAMB CAPS

All Nigerian universities, including KWASU, process admissions through the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). Even if you see your name on KWASU’s portal, you must confirm it on JAMB CAPS to make it official.

Here’s how:

1. Go to the JAMB E-Facility portal.
2. Log in with your registered JAMB email and password.
3. Select Check Admission Status.
4. Click Access my CAPS.
5. Tap on Admission Status to view your offer.
6. If offered admission, click Accept to confirm (or Reject if you wish to decline).

💡 Important: Only after you accept your offer on CAPS will your admission be fully valid. Don’t delay this step.
