Applicants should verify their admission status before travelling. Candidates whose names are not yet on the admission list should continue monitoring their admission status until further updates are released.
Only candidates who have received admission offers are eligible to participate in the screening exercise.
Screening Venue
Each candidate is expected to report to the campus where the programme they have been offered admission into is located.
Applicants should carefully check their admission details to ensure they report to the correct campus on the screening date.
Documents Required for SAZU Physical Screening
Candidates are required to present the following documents during the screening exercise:
- Printed copy of the O’Level or SSCE result.
- JAMB Result Slip.
- Printed copy of the online screening form submitted during the application process.
- One recent passport photograph.
- Scratch card for O’Level result verification.
Candidates should ensure that all documents are clear, complete and properly arranged before arriving at the screening venue.
Is the JAMB Result Slip Compulsory?
Yes.
Every candidate must present the JAMB Result Slip during the physical screening exercise.
Applicants are advised to print the original JAMB Result Slip before reporting to the assigned campus and keep it together with other required screening documents.
Why Is an O’Level Scratch Card Required?
Candidates are required to bring a valid O’Level scratch card because it will be used to verify their examination results during the screening exercise.
The scratch card must correspond to the examination result being presented and should remain unused until requested by the screening officials.
Must O’Level Results Be Uploaded to JAMB?
Yes.
Every admitted candidate must ensure that their O’Level result has been uploaded to the JAMB portal before attending the physical screening exercise.
Candidates who have not completed the upload should visit a JAMB-accredited centre before the screening date.
Failure to upload the required O’Level result to the JAMB portal may prevent the screening process from being completed.
Where Can Candidates Upload Their O’Level Results?
Candidates who have not uploaded their O’Level results should visit any JAMB-accredited centre to complete the process.
After uploading the result, applicants should confirm that it has been successfully reflected on their JAMB profile before proceeding for screening.
