O’Level Result Upload Requirements
All candidates are required to upload their WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results through an accredited JAMB CBT Centre.
The University has disabled the O’Level result upload section on its portal. As a result, candidates cannot upload their results directly on the MOUAU website.
Instead, candidates must upload their O’Level results through a verified JAMB CBT Centre. The University will subsequently retrieve the uploaded records from JAMB CAPS and transfer them to its admission portal.
How to Verify Uploaded O’Level Results
Candidates who have successfully uploaded their O’Level results through a JAMB CBT Centre should verify that the records have been correctly captured during registration.
At the fourth stage of the Post UTME registration page, applicants should navigate to the “Fetch Result(s)” section and click on “VIEW VERIFIED RESULT.”
This allows candidates to view and confirm the uploaded O’Level results before completing the registration process.
O’Level Results and Number of Sittings Matter
MOUAU has stated that O’Level grades and the number of examination sittings used by candidates will form part of the screening assessment.
Applicants are therefore advised to ensure that the correct WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results have been uploaded and reflected on JAMB CAPS before completing registration.
Awaiting Result Candidates
Candidates awaiting the release of their 2026 WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results are advised not to register until their results are available.
Once the results have been released, affected candidates can proceed with the registration process.
