Because the university operates on an open-admission model, the process of purchasing your admission form is straightforward and can be completed entirely online.

If you are ready to begin your academic journey, this guide will walk you through the process of obtaining your application form and successfully submitting your application.

Prerequisites Before You Start

Before you head over to the portal to purchase your form, ensure you have the following requirements ready to avoid delays:

Valid O’Level Results: A scanned copy of your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results.
Personal Identification: A valid form of ID, such as your National ID card, Voter’s Card, or Passport.
Passport Photograph: A recent, clear passport-sized photo on a white background.
JAMB Registration Number: As noted in our recent updates on NOUN admission requirements, you will need to complete the JAMB regularization process as part of your application.

Step-by-Step: Purchasing the Admission Form

The entire process is managed via the NOUN Student Management System (SMS). Follow these steps to generate your payment reference and buy your form:

1. Access the Official Portal

Visit the official NOUN application portal. Ensure you are always on the correct URL to protect your financial details.

2. Verify Your Eligibility

Before spending money on a form, use the "Am I Qualified" tool on the homepage. Select your preferred faculty and programme to ensure you meet the minimum entry requirements. For students who need a deeper dive into the specific admission criteria for different courses, you can always refer to the detailed course and admission guides for more clarity.

3. Generate Your RRR (Remita Retrieval Reference)

To purchase the form, you must generate a payment invoice:

Navigate to the "Apply for Admission" tab.
Fill in your personal details (Full name, phone number, and email address).
Select the type of programme (Undergraduate, Postgraduate, or PhD).
Click on "Generate RRR." This unique code allows you to make payments at any commercial bank or through online banking platforms.

4. Making the Payment

Once you have your RRR code:

You can pay via Internet Banking, Mobile Banking apps, or by visiting any commercial bank branch in Nigeria.
Keep your receipt: Once payment is confirmed, you will receive a notification. Keep the payment receipt or transaction reference number safe.

5. Completing the Online Form

After payment is successful:

Return to the official portal.
Log in using your RRR and your unique ID.
Fill out the comprehensive application form with your academic and personal information.
Upload your scanned documents as requested by the system.
