How to Log in to the UNN Student Portal (Step-by-Step Guide): If you are a newly admitted or returning student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), one of the first things you need to do is learn how to use the UNN Student Portal. This online platform is where all academic activities, payments, and registrations are carried out.
In this guide, I’ll explain what the UNN portal is, how to create your student profile, how to log in as both a new and returning student, and how to fix common errors students face. Let’s get started.
What is the UNN Student Portal?
The UNN Student Portal is the official online platform provided by the University of Nigeria for managing student activities. Through the portal, you can carry out several academic and administrative tasks without visiting the school’s offices physically.
Here are some of the things you can do on the UNN portal:
- Create and manage your student profile
- Pay acceptance fees and school fees
- Register your courses online
- Check your semester results
- Print invoices and receipts
- Access academic records anytime
At first, you will log in with your JAMB registration number and a personal password. Later, after completing clearance, your matriculation number will replace the JAMB number as your username.
You can always access the portal here: https://unnportal.unn.edu.ng/

Common Errors When Creating a UNN Profile
Sometimes, students encounter problems while setting up their profile. Here are some common issues and how to fix them:
1. “You have not been given admission yet” Error
Make sure you typed your JAMB registration number correctly.
If correct, wait 2–3 days. Sometimes the portal takes time to update admission status.

This usually happens when you entered a wrong email address.
Double-check your email before submitting the form.
If you already submitted a wrong email, contact the UNN ICT unit to correct it.
Pro Tip: Always use an active email and phone number because the portal will send important messages there.
