9Students apply for studying at a University of their choice to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). JAMB conducts the Universities Matriculation Examination (UME) and sends the results of the students, who have passed the UME, in electronic form (Excel file on CD) directly to the universities. Students check their results online on the JAMB website. Students who have passed the UME can then apply online for the Post University Matriculation Examination (PUME) conducted by Uniben directly on the PUME Application website.

Only Categories A (passed all courses) and B (passed some but have some carryovers) are eligible to register for a new level in the new session and also to apply for accommodation. The students print out the *Sessional Result Slip*. A Student is not allowed to see his scores but rather the grade and Sessional GPA.  The Result Slip however also shows the student's name, matric number, registration number, course of study, faculty, session and level.
