Official ACU Oyo Admission Guide 2026/2027

Official Ajayi Crowther University Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about Ajayi Crowther University (ACU), Oyo, for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you are drawn to its faith-based discipline, its accelerated academic calendar, or its highly rated Law and Nursing programs, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, the admission screening process, and the financial reality of studying here.

ACU Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Ajayi Crowther University for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a top-tier private university located in Oyo Town, Oyo State. ACU is owned by the Anglican Communion and is known for its moral discipline and freedom from strikes. Unlike federal universities where admission is strictly a numbers game, admission at ACU is a blend of your JAMB score, O’Level results, and sometimes an interview.

ACU JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the Ajayi Crowther University JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 140.

Important Reality Check:

• The 140 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to access the application portal. If you scored 140 and above, you are eligible to register for screening for most courses in the Faculties of Humanities, Management Sciences, and Natural Sciences.

• The “Professional” Exception: Do not be deceived; a score of 140 will NOT guarantee you admission into Law, Nursing Science, or Medical Laboratory Science. These courses are highly competitive and regulated by professional bodies. To be safe, you generally need a score of 180 to 200+ to stand a realistic chance.

• First Choice Policy: ACU is very flexible. You do not need to have chosen them as your First Choice initially. You can apply first, and then do a Change of Institution on JAMB CAPS later to regularize your admission.

Usually, No.

1. Registration: You visit the portal (admissions.acu.edu.ng) and pay the application fee (usually between ₦6,000 and ₦15,000).

2. Screening: You upload your JAMB Result and O’Level Result.

3. Interview:

   • For Law and Nursing candidates, you may be invited for an interactive session (Interview) either physically on campus or virtually. This is to ensure you have the aptitude for the profession.

   • For other courses, admission is often offered based on document verification alone.

4. Admission Letter: If successful, you will be able to print your Provisional Admission Letter from the portal almost immediately.

Important Admission Tips

1. Change of Institution: Since ACU is a private university, they are eager to admit qualified students. If you meet the requirements but picked another school in JAMB, go to a CBT center and change your first choice to Ajayi Crowther University. This instantly makes you visible on their CAPS.

2. O’Level Upload: You MUST upload your O’Level results to JAMB CAPS. Even though it is a private university, they cannot process your admission on the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) without your O’Level details.

3. Two Sittings: ACU accepts two sittings for admission, even for Law and Nursing (though one sitting is always preferred for professional courses).
