Once admitted on JAMB CAPS, ensure you possess your JAMB admission letter and original JAMB result, vital for UDUS screening. Anticipate the release of UDUS admissions in January, prompting the payment of a ₦10,000 acceptance and screening fee. This payment allows you to obtain the school's admission evidence and payment proof, both crucial during screening.

To secure a confirmation letter, gather four key documents: JAMB original result, JAMB admission letter, evidence of school admission, and proof of acceptance fees payment. Subsequently, create a student account on the school portal, meticulously uploading correct credentials to avoid errors.

During screening, present your original O-level result, local government's indigenous certificate, birth certificate or declaration of age, and result statement. Additionally, provide at least 10 passport photographs to complete your registration.

If disparities exist in names or dates between your JAMB and O-level results, obtain a court affidavit for correction, which must be presented during screening. Beware of online impostors posing as UDUS officials; rely on official school communications through the website and recognized social media outlets.

For those awaiting admission, remain optimistic, monitor your CAPS, and stay patient as more lists will be released gradually. Finally, to the newly admitted students, exhibit good behavior, dress appropriately, and conduct yourselves responsibly during screening, as UDUS values character alongside academic achievements. Avoid any potential embarrassment in the confirmation hall.
