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 in 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.

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

ReplyDeleteAfter 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.
ReplyDeleteSo is there anything wrong with my decision???
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.
