The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a final extension for candidates who still have unresolved admission offers on their Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) dashboard.

Who Is Affected
Any candidate who was offered admission in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025 but never clicked "Accept" or "Reject" on their CAPS portal. This also affects students currently seeking 2026/2027 admission, as unresolved old offers can sometimes conflict with new admission processing.

What It Means
Leaving an old admission offer in "pending" status can complicate your current admission journey. Institutions and JAMB need a clean slate to process new admissions accurately. Once the September 30 deadline passes, the board may take automated or administrative actions to clear these backlogged offers.
