Step 3

The date for screening will be fixed and it will be announced on the school’s official site which you can reach out to here.

The screening does not involve writing any test or exam. Akwapoly does not give aptitude tests or exams for candidates. 

The essence of the screening is to confirm if the credentials you upload online during registration are correct and authentic. 

In screening, you will be required to present your credentials 

THINGS REQUIRED FOR AKWAPOLY SCREENING ARE:

1. WAEC result, NECO, or NABTAB.
2. Your birth certificates
3. Your certificate of origin
4. JAMB result
5. Application slip (The form you printed during the online purchase of the online Post UTME admission form)

Step 4

About a month or two after the screening, the admission list will be released, then you will have to check your name on the admission list. The list is usually pasted on the school campus. 

However, to get a copy of the admission list after it has been released, join this Facebook group.

Step 5

After confirming your name on the admission list, the next thing you should do to secure your admission is to get to the school to pay your acceptance fee.

After payment of the acceptance fee, try as much as you can to pay the school fees. This is because late payment of school fees attracts a lateness fee of ₦5,000. 

After all these, then you are set to resume school. The next thing is to find an accommodation, 

if you have joined the Facebook group above, getting accommodation will not be difficult since you will find genuine agents that will help you secure good accommodation without stress. 

Conclusion

Akwapoly gives lots of admission to students once they get up to the cut-off mark. So, don’t panic or pay money to anyone for admission. 

Most of the time if you pay money to the wrong people they will just get away with your money and the school will still do their diligence by giving you admission and you will think it is because of the money you paid.

SO, GOOD LUCK
