⚠ Admission scams are common. Paying anyone to "secure" admission is illegal — no genuine school sells admission through agents, WhatsApp contacts or unofficial Facebook pages. The only official channel is nacon.edu.ng. Military-affiliated colleges are a favourite cover for admission fraudsters — no serving officer or 'contact' can sell you a place. If someone asks for money outside the official portal, walk away and report it.

If you were screened in August, watch nacon.edu.ng for the list — the college does not announce admissions through agents.

For next cycle's planners: NACON is one of the few colleges running BNSc, ND, HND and Community Nursing entry tracks under one roof, its fees are among the lowest published this season, and competition is correspondingly stiff. Forms typically open mid-year — we will update this same page when the 2027/2028 window opens.
