FUHSI Admission List 2026/2027: How to Check Your Status, Courses, Cut-Off Marks and Requirements
FUHSI Admission List 2026/2027
If you applied to the Federal University of Health Sciences, Ila Orangun, popularly known as FUHSI, the wait is over. The university has released its admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session, and every candidate who went through the Post UTME screening exercise can now confirm their status directly on the school portal. Before we go further, I need to flag something urgent, so please read the next section carefully before anything else, especially if you already know you have been offered a place.
Urgent Notice: Acceptance Deadline
FUHSI has set a strict deadline for admission acceptance and registration on the university portal, and as of today, that deadline is upon us. Candidates who fail to accept their admission on the portal by the stated date will forfeit their offer, and their slot will be immediately reallocated to another candidate on the waiting list. If you have already seen your name, please stop reading this for a moment, go to the portal, and complete your acceptance right now. You can always come back afterward to read through the rest of this guide for your registration and course information.
Understanding Your Status on the Portal
Until an official admission offer has been published for a candidate, the portal may display a message stating that the candidate has not yet been offered provisional admission. This is completely standard system behaviour and does not necessarily reflect an unfavourable decision on your application. If you see this message, it simply means processing for your file may still be ongoing, and you should keep checking.
FUHSI Courses, Admission Requirements and Cut-Off Marks
FUHSI is a specialised federal health sciences university, and unlike many conventional universities, it does not set one single general cut-off mark for every course. Instead, the university has published a specific minimum UTME score for each individual programme, alongside a separate, more detailed aggregate screening cut-off calculated as a percentage. Understanding both figures will give you a complete and accurate picture of where you stand.
Every applicant is required to have the UTME subject combination of English Language, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, along with a minimum of five O'Level credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. For Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, Medical Laboratory Science, and Doctor of Physiotherapy, these five credits must be obtained in not more than one sitting. All other programmes allow a maximum of two sittings. Direct Entry candidates into Medicine and Surgery or Nursing Science require at least a Second Class Upper Division degree in a relevant biological science, or strong A-Level grades in Physics, Chemistry and Biology, while Registered Nurse or Registered Midwife certificates are also accepted specifically for Nursing Science.
The table below sets out the approved minimum UTME score, the approved merit aggregate cut-off percentage, and the O'Level sitting requirement for every programme FUHSI offers for the 2026/2027 admission exercise. This information is drawn directly from the university's officially published entry requirements and departmental cut-off marks.
| Programme | Minimum UTME Score | Merit Aggregate Cut-Off | O'Level Sitting Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) | 220 | 81.3% | Not more than one sitting |
| Nursing Science | 210 | 75.4% | Not more than one sitting |
| Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPT) | 200 | 73.3% | Not more than one sitting |
| Medical Laboratory Science | 210 | 72.2% | Not more than one sitting |
| Prosthetics and Orthotics | 180 | 65.7% | Not more than two sittings |
| Audiology | 200 | 65.5% | Not more than two sittings |
| Pharmacology | 180 | 64.6% | Not more than two sittings |
| Human Nutrition and Dietetics | 180 | 61.8% | Not more than two sittings |
| Information Technology and Health Informatics | 180 | 59.8% | Not more than two sittings |
| Environmental Health Science | 180 | 59.3% | Not more than two sittings |
| Biochemistry | 180 | 50.3% | Not more than two sittings |
| Microbiology | 180 | 50.0% | Not more than two sittings |
| Biotechnology and Molecular Biology | 180 | 50.0% | Not more than two sittings |
Please note that the aggregate cut-off shown above is the Merit figure. Candidates applying under a specific catchment state, such as Osun, Oyo, Ondo, Ogun, Ekiti or Lagos, are assessed against a separate, slightly adjusted state-specific percentage, so if you fall under one of these catchment categories, confirm the exact figure for your state on the official FUHSI admissions page.
How FUHSI Calculates Your Aggregate Screening Score
I want to walk you through this formula properly, because understanding it can help you make sense of exactly why your result looks the way it does. FUHSI combines your UTME score and your O'Level result into a single aggregate out of one hundred, weighted seventy percent for your JAMB score and thirty percent for your O'Level grades.
Your O'Level component is calculated first. Each of your five core subjects, namely English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, is scored on a points scale, where A1 earns eight points, B2 earns seven points, B3 earns six points, C4 earns five points, C5 earns four points, and C6 earns three points. These points are added together out of a possible forty, then converted to a score out of thirty using the formula O'Level Grade Point equals your total O'Level points divided by forty, multiplied by thirty.
Your JAMB component is calculated by dividing your UTME score by four hundred and multiplying the result by seventy.
Your final Total Screening Aggregate is simply your JAMB Grade Point added to your O'Level Grade Point. For example, a candidate who scored 273 in UTME and earned a combined 24 points across their five O'Level subjects would have a JAMB Grade Point of 47.78 and an O'Level Grade Point of 18.00, giving a final aggregate of 65.78 out of 100.
Only candidates who score a minimum aggregate of 50.0 percent, and who have uploaded verified O'Level results on the JAMB portal, are considered eligible for admission at all. Your position on the merit, catchment, or educationally less developed states ranking for your specific programme is then determined by this aggregate score.
How to Check the FUHSI Admission List
Confirming your admission status is straightforward. Visit the official FUHSI admission portal at https://portal.fuhsi.edu.ng/apply/. Log in using your UTME or Direct Entry registration number along with your password. Once inside your dashboard, you will be able to view your admission status directly.
If you have been offered provisional admission, you will need to complete the Admission Checker Access Fee before you can print your provisional admission letter and access your registration guidelines. This payment is made through the Payment Services section of your portal menu, so locate that section, complete the payment, and proceed to download your letter.
Please remember that FUHSI has publicly warned that it does not collect any payment through individuals, agents, or private bank accounts. All official payments are made strictly through the university portal, and anyone demanding money outside of this system in exchange for admission is acting fraudulently and should be reported.
What to Do After Being Admitted
If your name appears with a confirmed offer, complete your Admission Checker Access Fee payment through the Payment Services section without delay, then download and print your provisional admission letter. Given the strict acceptance deadline currently in force, do not leave this step until later in the day. Once accepted, watch your portal closely for further registration instructions and school charges information, since fees vary considerably by programme, ranging from around 265,000 naira for Biochemistry and Microbiology at one hundred level to as much as 500,000 naira for Medicine and Surgery.
A Word for Those Still Waiting
If your portal still shows that you have not been offered provisional admission, please remain calm. This message is standard until offers are formally published for your specific programme, and it does not by itself mean your application has been unsuccessful. Continue checking the portal regularly, and make sure your O'Level results are correctly uploaded and verified on the JAMB portal, since this is a strict requirement for eligibility.
Final Thoughts
The release of the FUHSI admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session is an important moment for every candidate who went through this rigorous, health sciences-focused screening process. Check your status on the official portal, respect the acceptance deadline without exception, use the table above to understand exactly where your programme stands, and be wary of anyone asking for payment outside the official university portal. You have worked hard through a demanding screening process to reach this point, and a little more discipline now will carry you the rest of the way.
