Overview — the full journey at a glance
Seven phases from first visit to becoming a registered student
Uthman Bin Affan College Of Health Science And Technology (UBACHST) uses two separate online portals: the Application Portal (for applying) and the Student Portal (for registered students after admission). You will only use the application portal until your record is officially converted to a student.
📝 Application Portal
- Register & apply online
- Pay application form fee (where required)
- Track admission status
- Ends when you are converted to student
🎓 Student Portal
- Course registration
- School fees & wallet
- Exam cards & profile
- Day-to-day student services
Create account & log in
Application-Register → Application-Login → First-login security
- Register — Go to Application Register. Enter your surname, first name, email, phone, date of birth, and choose your application form/session. You will receive an activation link by email if required.
- Activate account — Click the link in your email or use direct activation if provided by the college.
- Log in — Use Application Login with your email and password. Your initial password is often your phone number at registration.
- First-login security — On first login you may be asked to change your password or confirm keeping your phone number as the password (
/Applicant/First-Login-Security).
Complete the application form
Checklist on Dashboard — track % complete
Your dashboard shows an Application checklist with required and optional steps. Complete each section from the sidebar or the step cards:
| Step | Menu / route | Required? | What you do |

| Documents | Document Upload | Yes | Upload certificates and documents requested by the form. |
Preview & submit
Preview → confirm → application locked for editing
- When all required sections are complete, the dashboard prompts you to Preview & Submit.
- Open Preview (
/Applicant/Preview) — review every section carefully. - Submit the application — you receive an application number and a QR code on your dashboard.
- After submission, the checklist disappears; you can print your application form for your records.
After submission — review & status
Application summary on Dashboard
Your dashboard switches to an Application summary showing your application number, programme, and status. Typical stages:
| Status | Meaning for you |
|---|---|
| Under review | Admissions is reviewing your file. Check the dashboard periodically. |
| Accepted | Admissions has offered you a place — follow the acceptance & admission letter steps on your dashboard. |
| Not successful | Application not admitted for this session (wording may vary). |
You can still access My profile, Payment history, and print your application form while waiting.
Admission offer — accept, pay, print letter
Applicant dashboard after you are accepted
When admissions accepts your application, your dashboard shows an Admission offered card. Complete these steps in order:
- Accept the offer — click I accept this admission offer. You may decline if you do not wish to proceed.
- Pay the acceptance fee — Paystack payment; amount is set on your application form.
- Receive your admission number — Format: institution + session + programme + 4-digit sequence (e.g. UBACHST27DCH0001). Each programme/session has its own counter.
- Print admission letter — Available only after steps 1–3. Use Print admission letter on the dashboard (PDF).
Conversion to student (institution action)
Management: Students Records → Convert applicant to student
This step is performed by admissions / registry staff, not by the applicant. Staff can convert you only after you have accepted the offer and paid the acceptance fee on your application portal. They use Students Records → Convert applicant to student.
Staff accepts you on Applicant File
Sets session, department, programme, and level — this publishes the offer to your dashboard.
You accept & pay on the application portal
Acceptance fee unlocks your admission number and printable admission letter.
Staff searches your application number
Only applicants who completed acceptance payment can be converted.
Staff assigns matric number & programme details
Faculty, department, programme, level, entry type/year, and your matric number are confirmed.
Your data is migrated
Name, email, phone, photo, address, and application file number move to the student database. Your passport image is copied to student records.
Application record is updated
Status set to Accepted, admission cleared, matric stored as admission number, portal marked converted to student.
Application portal complete
“Admission granted — you are now a student”
When conversion is complete, logging into the Application Portal shows:
- A success message: you have finished with the application portal.
- Your application number and matric number displayed.
- Confirmation that you completed the application portal (acceptance paid; student conversion pending or done).
- Sidebar badge: “Student — portal complete” — application form steps are hidden.
- Reminder to use the student portal with your registered email.
You may still view Dashboard and My profile on the application portal for reference, but you should not expect new application tasks there.
Student portal & next steps
College ICT or your department will guide you from here
After migration, your official activities move to the Student Portal (/login).
