Just now that admission in progress, some schools are transferring their candidates from certain courses to others. Institutions are transferring candidates from the original courses of choice to the ones qualified for or the one available/less competitive.
In order to do this, institutions will firstly contact JAMB with the list of the affected candidates and request the body to place them under transfer of admission on the JAMB CAPS.
After this, candidates are usually contacted through SMS to inform them that their intending institutions had resolved to offer them admissions but to other courses entirely. Hence, they are required to check for the new course on CAPS and accept it.
Transfer of Admission is Different From Admission Offered on CAPS
Don’t be confused. If you’re offered your intended course, you will accept it on CAPS still. However, if you’re offered another course, it will require you to accept that under “Transfer Approval Link” on CAPS before you can you later accept it under “Admission Status Link”.Let me break that down a bit.
Admission Status Link in CAPS gives you access to accept the final course offered. While Transfer Approval Link gives you access to accept the new course offered instead of your original course.
Hence, if your school doesn’t change your course, you will only need Admssision Status Link only. If they change it, you’ll need Transfer Approval first. Then, you will later accept also through Admission Status Link. Though, that may be a couple of days after you’ve accepted the transfer.
A Case Study of Transfer of Admission
Let’s see a complaint by a parent of a transferred applicant to another course.l received a text message on my phone, stating UNILORIN wanted to transfer my daughter to study another course. We were asked to either accept or reject the course. On logging into JAMB CAPS with her details, the admission status still shows not admitted. Why this?
The parent has taken to official JAMB Twitter page to ask this question. So what has he done wrong?
He obviously did not use the Transfer Approval link. He was using Admission Status Link.
Admission Status link will keep saying “Not Admitted” until one accepts it first under transfer approval link and later under Admission status link in the Access my CAPS.
If he accepts rightly, the admission process for the new course will immediately start and later reflect under Admission Status. There, he will accept or reject finally.
This is why the handler asked,
Did you accept it? If yes, then the process of our Admission should be ongoing.
How to Accept The Newly Offered Course on Transfer
- Visit JAMB profile/CAPS
- Locate the link for Transfer Approval. Click that and it will show the new course and accept and reject buttons
- Accept and log out.
- Return to your CAPS from time to time to be check Admission Status Link (not the button outside). When offered the course finally, you will be able to see it and accept it there too.
See the screenshots below for the stages to follow in the JAMB transfer of admission and its approval.

Do I have to Do Change of Course to the New Course?
After accepting the new course on Transfer Approval, candidates will have to wait for the school and course to appear under Admission Status Link.However, it's advisable you also do JAMB change of course to the new course. This is the only way JAMB will make your new course to appear under admission status.
Conclusion
If you've received a message to accept another course you're transferred to. You will need to visit your CAPS, follow the quick guide above to accept it. Then, wait for your real admission status which must be accepted too. This is not going to be immediately though. You may need to wait a few days or weeks. To make things faster, change the course on JAMB change of institutions/courses portal as well.

After accepting the new course, do I need to do change of course or not?
ReplyDeleteYou have to change to the new course.
DeleteYou may need to wait awhile for the school to finally give you the new course before you change. Yet, you will need to do that eventually.
My course was changed to a new one but my admission status is still showing not admitted. Is there anything I need to do. And about the change of course is it after I have been admitted that I would be able to do it or should I do now that it is still showing not admitted
ReplyDeleteRead the post again Your question has been answered in the post.
DeleteDo transfer approval has expiry date... it took me close a month before accepting due to oerperso reasons...... can I still be considered...???is gaining admission 100percent
ReplyDeleteNo it doesn't expire. No 100% assurance. You're more likely to be offered the course.
DeleteRead the post again to know steps to take after accepting transfer.

DeleteAfter accepting the transfer approval.it has changed under my admission status but still not admitted.pls what else do I need to do?
ReplyDeletei ignorantly rejected my transfer approval,i want to know; will there be any admission for me again?.
ReplyDeletedoes it mean i have rejected admission entirely?. please i wan to know.
Sorry about your situation.
DeleteYou have just rejected this year admission, you may need to write another UTME and wait for admission next year. The school rejected won't offer you admission again.
However, if there is another school you have hope with, they may offer you admission instead. This is, of course, very rare.
Accept my sincere pity.
I can't see the accept or reject button on the transfer approval help me out
ReplyDeleteYou won't see that unless a school has decided to transfer you to another course. It's not a general offer. It's only for a few candidates schools wish to offer different courses.
DeletePlease my school of choice has offered me admission and jamb still says admission in progress,what could be causing the delay
ReplyDeleteThe delay is from the school. The school has not completed the process on JAMB CAPS. Just wait awhile. It will change sooner or later.
DeleteThanks! A situation where transfer approval is accepted and reflecting, is a change of course still necessary. Especially when the admission status says in progress.
ReplyDeleteYes it is.
DeletePlease i need help i have accepted my transfer approval for almost two weeks now, though the new course has reflected on my admission status but it is still showing not admitted and i want to do change of course after i might have accepted the admission to enable me print my admission letter.

After accepting the transfer, kindly do change of course on JAMB portal to hasten things.

ReplyDeleteGive it time. It will change.
DeleteI accepted the first admission I was given but I don't like it can it be changed even I gave accepted the fist one
ReplyDeleteAfter accepting the admission on CAPS, it's difficult to reject again. In that case, you have to visit the school that you accepted earlier and request rejection of admission letter. You will take this to the JAMB office to effect your change of mind.
DeletePlease sir I accepted my course transfer after 4 days and did change of course is it right. Because of the time I wasted.
ReplyDeleteNo need to panic. You will be offered admission on CAPS sooner.

ReplyDeleteYou can use your phone.

ReplyDeleteI will advise you use the service of a professional cyber cafe. You might be doing something wrongly.
DeleteI recently accepted my transfer approval,am still waiting to be admitted while lecture is going on already, can I go for the lecture while still waiting for admission
ReplyDeleteFirst, change to the course you're transferred to on the JAMB portal. Then, start expecting the school to offer you admission. Without changing the course, don't expect admission.
DeleteYou can go for lectures if your school allows that.
Have accepted the transfer approval on jamb from UI is going to a month now my admission status is saying admission not yet given.Sir what is my date???
ReplyDeleteFirst, do change of course on the JAMB portal before expecting admission.
DeleteA message was sent to me today from jamb that I should accept/reject a course transfer. But after I logged in to my CAPS. I click the transfer approval button truly it was shown both new and old course I was transferred to but no button to accept or reject. Pls how will I go about this... Just receive mssg this afternoon and the transfer is just created this afternoon also
ReplyDeleteYou're possibly using a mobile phone to check the transfer approval. The mobile view will not show everything. Hence, the option to accept or reject is hiding. Kindly use a computer to check it or change your mobile browser to desktop view before checking on phone.
DeleteThanks, The mobile browser is already in desktop view but I will try using computer soon. Please am scared is there any related issue like this before , for the buttons not to show
DeleteWhy is transfer approval taking so long, I have accepted for almost a month and have also done change of course but still not admitted. What else am I to do.
ReplyDeleteMay be you've not done JAMB change of course to the new course you're transferred to.
DeleteHave done it since
DeleteThe you have to wait awhile more. Most schools are still offering admissions till date. You can as well visit your school admission office to know if the problem is from their end. They will explain.
DeleteSir I have accepted the course I was transfered to and also I have done a change of course is it necessary for the course to reflect on the school's portal
ReplyDeleteNo need to reflect on the school portal. If your school wishes it to reflect, it will. If not, once it's on the JAMB portal, your admission is still genuine and correct.
DeleteEvening sir...my problem is that i did mathematics/Economics in my NCE day and i applied for Economics Education for my direct entry and i was transfer by the institution to Study social studies Education....can i accept it bcoz i think it not relevant with my nce course.
ReplyDeleteYou can accept it. In fact, you should. It relates.
DeleteGood morning sir.
ReplyDeleteMy institution change my course from accountancy to marketing.I have accepted it in my transfer approval since last year December but my admission status has not changed.Still showing 'Not admitted'.
You have to do JAMB change of course to Marketing after the acceptance of the transfer. It's after that you should be expecting the admission proper.
DeleteIn the transfer approval they said if you reject you will remain in the preferred course...what those that mean?...and why will they remove me if I reject , instead of remaining in the preferred course?
ReplyDeleteOnce transferred, it meant your school didn't want to give you the present course. If you reject, it means you don't want any admission again from the school. I covered this in detail in the post below. https://www.schoolcontents.info/2018/09/what-jamb-and-schools-do-when-you.html
DeleteSame here, I'm so worried because lectures have started
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter. Some students will resume lectures even after tests.
DeleteGood day admin,
ReplyDeleteI'm an aspirant of atbu Bauchi MBBs,
Around November last year before the offer provisional admission by Jamb,
The school invited us for a physical screening exercise during which my course was changed to biochemistry by the school.
Fast forward to mid february I received a notification from jamb to log onto my caps to accept transfer to another course,
I did that and I saw an entirely different course from what the school initially gave me, "Animal Production"
I rejected it because i passed both the jamb and school cut off mark substantially and i do not intend to study animal production,
few weeks later i noticed i was offered my preferred course on my jamb caps which i have accepted and confirmed my name on the jamb matriculation list for the course MBBs, any advise on the authenticity of this admission and or on how to resolve this issue?
First, I congratulate you on your admission for your most preferred course. I want to reassure you that the admission for MBBs is very valid. Kindly print your JAMB admission letters and original JAMB result. When the school resumes, proceed for your acceptance and studies.
DeleteThe university, for any reason, was only trying to lure you into another course. Thank God you didn't accept it. JAMB has noticed you merit the admission for MBBs. That's why they forced the university to give you the course your originally wanted and deserved.
Best of luck! We need to celebrate this!
Hello sir. I accepted the course approval approval for jamb 2019 and right now change of course is on hold currently but am yet to be given admission on the admission status.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I do about that sir?
Change of of course is not on hold. You can still do the change of institutions if you wan to to.
DeleteGood day sir, please after accepting the course transfer approval, apart from my registration number, will all my details (date of birth, course, school etc) on caps be empty? Am so worried.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's possible. And those spaces may be updated automatically later.
ReplyDeleteGood day sir, my school gave me admission, I've started going to school,paid fees etc but I just recently heard of course transfer approval and mistakenly rejected it on my caps. Please whats likely going to happen
ReplyDeleteI will advise you visit your school admission office for the next possible steps.
DeleteGood day sir, my school gave me admission since last year but I did see any thing in my Cap but but saw some courses in my Transfer Approval but could not accept it due to the fact there was no accept button but I checked I didn't see it again
ReplyDeleteThere was always the accept button on the portal. You didn't see it because you didn't use a computer or you didn't know how to set your mobile page to desktop view. With your present situation, kindly talk to your school admission office for the next possible steps.
DeleteGood day Admin. I was offered Transfer Approval from by Uniben from my first choice of course to another course on the 15/9/2019, but I accepted the Transfer offer on the 23rd of February, 2020 and I as well did change of Course to the newly transferred Course. Since then till now, I have been waiting earnestly for admission but to no avail. And recently I noticed that I can't log in to my CAPS again, is there any hope or chances that I will be offered admission, or should I just take off my mind and apply for another Jamb examination?
ReplyDeleteObviously UNIBEN admission has closed before you accepted the admission. Hence, you may not have any hope.
DeleteGood Afternoon sir, My problem is that I was offered admission by Jamb to study LAW on JAMB CAPS, I accepted and printed my admission letter.I later Noticed that what's on the school portal is History and international relations.I'm depressed now because I have my admission letter which have law. Please Sir, which of this admission is authentic?
ReplyDeleteJAMB admission is authentic. I advise you talk to your school admission officer to be sure what is happening. But I want to assure you that JAMB admission supersedes any other offers.
Deletehello. thanks for what you're doing here. I've changed course on the school portal so as to register for post utme screening. on jamb portal, it isn't effected. Also, on Jamb CAPS, there is a notification on transfer approval that the first choice school wants me to change my course..... the column for accept or reject is showing NO PROGRAM TRANSFER CONSIDERATION.
ReplyDeleteNOTE: the school portal states that the change of course must be effected on Jamb CAPS before admission is given.
Please,what can i do?
Please sir I choose ekiti state University and I later did change of institution to kogi state University, since then jamb have not yet approved it and it's over one month now.
ReplyDeleteWhat should I do sir
JAMB does approve your change of institution immediately after submission. With the change of institution slip in your hand, it means JAMB has approved it.
DeleteJamb sent SMS to me that my course was change. I accepted it on transfer approval and I did change of course after 4 day. My admission status have not change since then. Pls what should I do.
ReplyDeleteObviously the issue is more form JAMB than the institution. Kindly speak with JAMB support: https://support.jamb.gov.ng/candidate-support/create-candidate-ticket
Delete
