Common MOUAU post-UTME Portal problems and how to fix them

Portal will not load. The post-UTME Portal runs under heavy load during peak application days. Try off-peak hours (5-8am Nigerian time) for the fastest experience. Use mobile data if your Wi-Fi is unstable, and avoid public Wi-Fi networks which sometimes block long-running sessions.
JAMB registration number not found. Confirm that your 2026 UTME results have actually been released. If your result is withheld or you are scheduled for the JAMB make-up examination, the MOUAU portal cannot pull your profile until JAMB releases the score. Check your JAMB profile on the JAMB portal first.
Payment confirmed but portal still says unpaid. Bank reconciliation usually completes within 5-30 minutes but can take up to 24 hours during peak load. If the issue persists after 24 hours, visit the MOUAU admissions office in person with the Remita payment receipt and your bank transaction reference.
Forgot password or registered email is inactive. Use the portal's password reset link first. If the reset email never arrives because the registered address is dead, you may need to visit MOUAU's admissions office in person with photo ID and JAMB result slip to reset access manually.
Photograph upload fails. The photograph must be in JPEG format, under 200KB, on a white background. Use a free tool such as Photopea (browser-based, no install needed) or any image compressor to bring the file size below the limit before retrying the upload.
