If you took the 2026 UTME and are considering studying at Dominion University, Ibadan, you may be wondering how their Post-UTME screening works.
Unlike most public universities, Dominion has its own process.
This guide explains how to apply for the 2026/2027 session, what happens during screening, and answers common applicant questions.
Dominion University is a faith-based private university founded by Victory International Church.
It is located at Kilometre 24 on the Ibadan–Lagos Expressway in Oyo State, also known as the “City of Faith.”
The university offers undergraduate programmes in three faculties: Arts, Social and Management Sciences; Computing and Applied Sciences; and Allied Health Sciences.
Instead of holding one big Post-UTME exam day, Dominion uses a rolling, mostly online screening process for admissions.
A quick note before we get into the details: Dominion University’s official admissions page still mentions the 2025/2026 UTME cycle in its general requirements, even though the acceptance fee and application system have already switched to 2026/2027.
This delay is common when private university websites are being updated.
This guide is based on the latest information from the university’s official channels (dominionuniversity.edu.ng) at the time of writing.
Since private university admission portals can change often, always check the current “How to Apply” and “Admissions” pages on the official site, or call the admissions office, before making any payment.

How Dominion University’s Admission Process Works
Public universities usually hold one central Post-UTME screening on a set date.
Dominion University, however, uses a rolling, mostly online admission process.
Here are the steps according to the university’s website:
- Confirm or change your JAMB institution choice. If you didn’t list Dominion University as your first choice, you’ll need to perform a Change of Institution through the JAMB e-Facility portal (efacility.jamb.gov.ng) or at the nearest JAMB CBT centre.
- Upload your O’Level results on JAMB. Do this through the same JAMB portal, since Dominion University’s verification process cross-checks your uploaded results.
- Download the relevant forms. The university’s Downloads page (dominionuniversity.edu.ng/downloads) hosts the specific forms required for your application category.
- Complete the online application. You create a login profile on the university’s application portal, fill in your bio-data and academic details, and submit.
- Attend a screening interview. Depending on your circumstances, this can be conducted in person at the University Admissions Office in Ibadan or online through a secure communication link.
- Submit your documents for verification. You’ll need to visit the University Admissions Office or the nearest Liaison Centre with your forms and credentials for final verification.
Basic Eligibility Requirements
To open an active application profile for the 2026/2027 session, Dominion University requires candidates to meet the following:
- UTME participation: You must have sat the relevant UTME cycle and met JAMB’s general requirements.
- Minimum of five (5) credit passes in WAEC (SSCE), NECO (SSCE), GCE O’Level, or an equivalent qualification, obtained at not more than two sittings.
- English Language must be among your credit passes, along with other subjects relevant to your intended course of study.
- Institution choice priority: candidates who selected Dominion University as their First Choice on JAMB are given natural priority; others are welcome to apply but must complete the Change of Institution step first.

Instead, the screening stage is focused on checking your documents, evaluating your credentials, and holding an interview.
You should be ready to:
- Present their original O’Level result(s) and UTME result slip for verification.
- Confirm their chosen course aligns with their O’Level subject combination.
- Participate in a short interview (physical or online) to confirm their suitability and seriousness about the programme.
- Submit any additional programme-specific documents requested by their faculty (particularly relevant for Allied Health Sciences applicants)
How to Apply, Step by Step
- Visit efacility.jamb.gov.ng to complete your Change of Institution to Dominion University, if required, and confirm your O’Level results are uploaded.
- Go to dominionuniversity.edu.ng/downloads to check for any required forms specific to your programme.
- Head to the application portal at portal.dominionuniversity.edu.ng/apply.php(or begin from dominionuniversity.edu.ng/start-now) to create your applicant profile.
- Fill in all requested bio-data and academic details accurately, then submit.
- Wait for the admissions team to contact you about your screening mode (physical or online) and schedule accordingly.
- Attend your screening interview and submit your physical or digital documents for final verification.
A Word of Caution on Unofficial Agents
Many unofficial “admission agents” advertise on classifieds sites and social media for private university admissions in Nigeria.
To stay safe, apply only through Dominion University’s official website (dominionuniversity.edu.ng), verified phone lines, or official email (admissions@dominionuniversity.edu.ng).
Avoid third-party posts that promise to “guarantee” admission or process your Post-UTME form for a fee using unofficial phone numbers.
These are common scams and are not connected to the university.
Real admission messages from Dominion University will always come from its own portal, official email, or listed phone numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Dominion University require a physical Post-UTME exam like public universities?
No, Dominion University uses an online document verification, credential evaluation, and interview model for its screening phase, so candidates aren’t required to sit a separate written Post-UTME test the way they would at many federal or state universities.
2. Can I apply to Dominion University if I didn’t select it as my first choice on JAMB?
Yes, you can still apply, but you’ll need to complete an official Change of Institution to Dominion University through an accredited JAMB CBT centre or the JAMB e-Facility portal so your data syncs correctly with the university’s system.
3. Is there a deadline for the 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening application?
Dominion University’s application system has historically run in rolling batches rather than a single fixed deadline, typically remaining open through the early summer window and sometimes extending into August or September.
However, quota-limited programmes like the health sciences tend to fill up before the system formally closes.
4. What happens if I submit my form but haven’t uploaded my O’Level results on JAMB yet?
Your application may be delayed during verification, since the university’s process explicitly requires you to upload your O’Level results on the JAMB portal as part of the standard application flow.
It’s best to complete this step before or alongside your Dominion University application.
5. Are online and physical screening interviews treated any differently in terms of admission chances?
Both formats are equally valid options for completing your screening, and the choice generally depends on the candidate’s location and convenience rather than one method carrying more weight than the other.
6. Do all three faculties at Dominion University have the same screening requirements?
The general eligibility requirements are UTME participation and five relevant O’Level credits, which apply broadly.
Still, Allied Health Sciences programmes like Nursing and Medical Laboratory Science often have additional programme-specific document or interview requirements because of their professional accreditation demands.
7. Can I still apply if my UTME score is below the general minimum benchmark some sources mention?
Score requirements for private universities like Dominion can differ from public university cut-offs and change each session, so the safest step is to confirm the current session’s specific benchmark directly with the university’s official admissions office rather than relying on a figure from a previous cycle.
8. How do I know if an admission update I’ve seen online about Dominion University is legitimate?
Cross-check any claim about form availability, screening dates, and cut-off marks directly against Dominion University’s official website or by calling the listed admissions numbers, since unofficial posts (especially those advertising a single phone number across dozens of unrelated universities) are a common red flag for admission scams.
Final Thoughts
For the 2026/2027 session, Dominion University’s Post-UTME screening uses a private-university approach.
Applications are rolling and online, with a Change of Institution step for those who did not choose Dominion first, and screening is based on documents and interviews instead of a written exam.
To keep your application process smooth, complete your JAMB Change of Institution and O’Level upload early, apply only through the official university portal, and double-check all details, such as deadlines and requirements, with the admissions office before making any payment.
