3. Generate Remita Code & Make Payment
On the portal, generate a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) code. You can:
- Pay online using MasterCard, Visa, or Verve cards.
- Print the Remita payment slip and pay at any bank with Remita platform (e.g., Access Bank, EcoBank, Fidelity Bank, FirstBank, FCMB, UBA, or UniPORT-Choba Microfinance Bank).
The application fee for UNIPORT Post UTME is ₦2,000 only.
4. Complete the Online Form

Screening Exercise: What to Expect
The University of Port Harcourt Post UTME screening is often done through a computer-based test (CBT) covering general subjects such as English Language, Mathematics, and other relevant areas. The Photo Card you print after registration will contain your CBT schedule.
Tip: Be sure to arrive at the screening venue early and with the required documents (Your Photo Card and valid ID), as electronic gadgets like mobile phones are often not allowed inside.
Why Consistency Matters
During the screening, the admissions team verifies your documents carefully. If your names do not match across your WAEC/NECO, UTME, and Post UTME forms, you risk disqualification. Always double-check your information before submission.
