Complete Registration Guidelines for Newly Admitted Students (2026/2027 Session)
JIGPOLY has established a sequential registration process for newly admitted students. Each step must be completed before proceeding to the next. Missing any clearance point will stall your registration.
The registration involves 9 critical steps spanning multiple departments. Plan to spend 3-5 days completing the entire process, depending on crowds and document readiness.
1. Pay Acceptance Fee and Print Admission Letter
What to Do?: Log in to your JIGPOLY application dashboard using your credentials, navigate to the payment section, pay the acceptance fee of ₦5,000.00, and generate and print your provisional admission letter.
Payment Methods: Remita payment platform, bank deposit, or online transfer to designated accounts.
Documents to Print: Provisional admission letter (2 copies recommended) and payment receipt/Remita receipt.
Pro Tip: Keep multiple copies of your admission letter and payment receipt. You’ll need them at various stages.
2. Screening and Clearance at Academic Division

What Happens: Academic staff verify the authenticity of your credentials, documents are screened against admission requirements, your eligibility for the programme is confirmed, and clearance stamp is placed on your admission letter.
Important: Original credentials must be presented. Photocopies are not accepted for screening. However, certified true copies may be submitted for retention.
3. Collect SRMS Password from ICT Directorate
Location: ICT Directorate
Prerequisites: Clearance from Academic Secretary (Step 2 must be completed) and admission letter with Academic Division stamp.
What to Do: Present your cleared admission letter to ICT staff and receive your unique Students’ Records Management System (SRMS) password. Note down your SRMS username (typically your admission number).
What the Password Does: This password allows you to access the SRMS portal, generate Remita payment schedule for registration fees, register courses online, and print registration documents.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the acceptance fee for JIGPOLY 2026/2027, and is it refundable?
The acceptance fee is ₦5,000 for everyone. Once you pay it, you cannot get it back even if you change your mind about attending JIGPOLY. This fee confirms that you accept the admission and allows you to print your admission letter.
2. Can I complete my JIGPOLY registration online without visiting the campus?
No. You must come to campus physically. Some things like payment can be done online, but you must be there in person for screening your documents, collecting your password, doing medical check-up, and getting stamps from different offices. Plan to spend 3-5 days on campus.
3. What happens if I skip a step in the registration sequence?
If you skip any step, your registration will stop. Each step needs proof that you finished the one before it. For example, if you don’t do screening, you can’t get your SRMS password. Without the password, you can’t pay or register courses. Do everything in order.
4. How long does it take for school fees payment to reflect on the SRMS portal?
Usually 2-24 hours. Online payment is faster (2-6 hours). Bank payment can take up to 24 hours. If after 48 hours you still don’t see it, go to Bursary office with your receipt. They will fix it. Always keep your receipt safe.
5. Are female Jigawa State indigenes really only paying ₦6,000 for school fees?
Yes, it’s true. But you must bring your Jigawa State Certificate of Origin or Indigene Certificate to prove you’re from Jigawa. Only females enjoy this benefit. Males from Jigawa pay normal indigene rates.
6. Do I need to pay Health Programme Council fees in my first year?
Yes. If you’re studying health courses like Pharmacy Tech, Medical Lab, Community Health, etc., you must pay council fees from first year. The fee is ₦12,000 to ₦20,000 depending on your course. You pay this plus your normal school fees. Without it, you cannot graduate.
7. What documents do I need for registration, and should they be originals or photocopies?
Bring your original WAEC/NECO result, birth certificate, and indigene certificate to the Academic Division. They must see the originals to confirm they are real. But they will keep certified copies, not your originals. Also bring your admission letter, acceptance fee receipt, and 12 passport photos.
8. Can I pay my JIGPOLY school fees in installments, and what’s the procedure?
Yes, if you have serious money problems. Write a letter to the Bursary explaining your situation. If they approve, you’ll pay 60% before registration and 40% before mid-semester exams. But they don’t approve everyone, so try to pay everything at once if you can.
9. When should I start the registration process, and how long does it take to complete all steps?
Start immediately after you get admission and pay acceptance fee. The whole thing takes 3-5 days if you’re prepared and offices are not too busy. During September-October when many students are registering, it can take one week. Start early (August) to avoid stress and penalties.
