The University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) has announced a Post-UTME Mop-up Exercise for candidates who were unable to participate in the institution’s earlier screening exercise for the 2026/2027 admission session.
The announcement offers a fresh opportunity to affected candidates who missed their scheduled screening dates and were consequently excluded from the initial admission screening process.
According to a notice issued by the university, the mop-up exercise is scheduled to hold on Monday, July 27, 2026.
Another Opportunity for Eligible Candidates
The exercise is specifically designed for candidates who, for various reasons, could not take part in the main Post-UTME screening conducted by the university.
By organizing the mop-up exercise, the institution aims to ensure that qualified candidates are not denied the opportunity to compete for admission solely because they missed the earlier screening exercise.
The development reflects UNIPORT’s commitment to a fair and inclusive admission process while maintaining established admission standards.
Candidates Advised to Prepare Early
Affected candidates are strongly advised to take note of the new date and begin preparations ahead of the exercise.
Prospective students should regularly monitor official university communication channels for updates regarding the screening timetable, venue arrangements, and other important guidelines.
They are also expected to confirm their eligibility, ensure that all required documents are readily available, and comply fully with instructions issued by the university.
In addition, candidates should make adequate travel and logistical arrangements to avoid last-minute challenges that could affect their participation.
Admission Chances Still Open
Participation in the mop-up exercise remains important for candidates seeking admission into the University of Port Harcourt for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Candidates who missed the initial screening but successfully participate in the mop-up exercise will still be considered alongside other qualified applicants during the admission process.
However, admission experts have advised affected candidates not to treat the exercise lightly, as failure to participate may significantly reduce their chances of securing admission.
Earlier Screening Exercise
UNIPORT had earlier conducted its 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening for candidates who selected the university as their first-choice institution in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and scored at least 160 marks. The screening exercise took place between June 8 and June 13, 2026, across various faculties.
The institution had also extended the registration deadline for the screening exercise to June 6, 2026, to accommodate more applicants.
Stay Updated
Candidates are encouraged to visit the University’s official website regularly for further information concerning the mop-up exercise, including venue details, reporting time, and any additional requirements.
For official updates and announcements, candidates should rely only on information released through the University of Port Harcourt’s authorized communication platforms.
The university wished all affected candidates success and urged them to comply with all admission guidelines as they prepare for the screening exercise.
