Admission Requirements for the Pre-Degree Programme
The notice states that applicants are expected to have five credit-level passes in the required subjects at one of the recognised examinations, including SSCE, GCE, NECO or NABTEB, or an equivalent qualification.
The five credits must be obtained in not more than two sittings for the chosen course of study.
English Language and Mathematics are among the required subjects, according to the admission notice.
The university also indicates that candidates who have not yet obtained all five required credit passes are eligible to apply.
Another important point is that candidates who did not sit for the 2026/2027 UTME are also eligible to apply for the Pre-Degree Programme.
How to Apply for DOU Pre-Degree Admission
Interested applicants are required to obtain and submit the application form online.
The application platform provided by the university is:
Applicants should use the university's website for the online application form purchase and submission.
The notice does not state an application fee, application closing date or detailed step-by-step payment procedure, so prospective applicants should rely on the information available through the stated university website rather than assume additional requirements.
Important Session Information
The admission notice describes the opportunity as admission into the Pre-Degree Programme for the 2026/2027 academic session.
However, there is an inconsistency in the supplied notice: while the main heading clearly identifies the programme as being for the 2026/2027 academic session, one section of the notice refers to the programme as being for the 2025/2026 academic session. The notice does not explain this difference, so applicants should confirm the applicable session from the university's official website before completing their application.
DOU Pre-Degree Admission Contact Numbers
For enquiries, the following telephone numbers were provided:
Admission Officer: +234 9124417389
Director: +234 8037034611
Applicants who need clarification about the application or programme can use the contact details supplied in the admission notice.
What Prospective Applicants Should Take Note Of
The wide range of programmes means prospective students can consider options across several academic fields, including Nursing Science, Law, Computer Science, Cyber Security, Engineering-related areas, Agriculture, Management Sciences, Environmental Sciences and numerous science disciplines.
Applicants should pay particular attention to the admission requirements attached to their intended course because the notice requires the five relevant credit passes to be presented for the chosen programme.
Those who are still awaiting the required five credits are specifically included among the categories permitted to apply, while candidates who did not participate in the 2026/2027 UTME are also listed as eligible.
Conclusion
Dennis Osadebay University has opened its 2026/2027 Pre-Degree admission application with programmes spanning multiple faculties and academic disciplines. Prospective applicants can begin the process through www.dou.edu.ng and use the published contact numbers for enquiries.
Because the notice contains a discrepancy between its stated 2026/2027 session and one reference to 2025/2026, applicants should verify the applicable session information on the university's website before submitting their forms.
