UNIBEN Acceptance Fee and Clearance 2026/2027: Payment Guide and Requirements
The UNIBEN acceptance fee and clearance process is an important step for candidates who have been offered admission into the university of Benin for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Newly admitted students are required to complete the acceptance fee payment and follow the university’s clearance procedures before they can proceed with registration.
This guide explains the UNIBEN acceptance fee and clearance process, including how to make the payment, clearance requirements and other important steps admitted candidates should follow.
JAMB CAPS Acceptance Comes First
Candidates who have been offered admission should accept their offers on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Central Admissions Processing System if they have not already done so.
Acceptance on JAMB CAPS is a prerequisite for the later admission and registration processes, so candidates should confirm that this stage has been completed before proceeding with the university’s acceptance requirements.
UNIBEN Portal Login and Acceptance Fee Payment
After accepting the admission offer on JAMB CAPS, candidates should log in through the official UNIBEN admission portal to confirm their admission status and proceed with payment of the prescribed acceptance fee.
Candidates should use the university’s approved payment platform for the transaction. Payment through an unapproved channel may leave the required university process incomplete.
Acceptance Fee Deadline Is 21 September 2026
The deadline for payment of the UNIBEN acceptance fee is Monday, 21 September 2026, which is four weeks from the date the payment portal was opened.
Candidates should complete payment on or before the deadline. Failure to pay within the prescribed period may lead to withdrawal of the admission offer.
Payment Records Are Required for Later Processes
Candidates should retain their acceptance fee payment receipts and other relevant documents after completing payment, as these records will be required during clearance and registration.
Keeping the payment evidence available will also make it easier for candidates to present the required records when the next admission stages are due.
Clearance and Registration Will Follow
Successful candidates are expected to submit their clearance for approval through the university portal as part of the admission process.
The clearance and registration stages will follow the required admission acceptance steps, so candidates should complete JAMB CAPS acceptance and acceptance fee payment before moving to the later processes.
Official Updates Should Be Checked Regularly
Candidates should regularly check the University’s official communication channels for authentic information concerning admission, clearance and registration.
The University of Benin has congratulated all successful candidates and has stated that it looks forward to welcoming them to the university.
