Delta State University Abraka Issues Important Notice to All Newly Admitted Students

The management of Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka has officially announced the final deadline for the payment of acceptance fees for all candidates offered provisional admission into the institution for the 2025/2026 academic session.

This important notice serves as a reminder to all newly admitted students from the first, second, and third admission batches to complete their acceptance fee payment on or before Monday, October 27, 2025. The University strongly emphasizes that failure to comply with this deadline may lead to automatic forfeiture of admission.

Why the Acceptance Fee Is Important

The acceptance fee is a crucial first step in confirming admission into Delta State University. It signifies a student’s readiness to study at DELSU and allows the institution to prepare the necessary academic and administrative documentation for each admitted candidate.

Students who fail to pay this fee within the stipulated period will be considered as having declined the admission offer. The school management has reiterated that no further extensions will be granted beyond the announced deadline.

This timeline underscores the University’s commitment to ensuring a smooth start to the new academic year and giving admitted students ample time to settle into campus life.

Resumption Schedule for Fresh and Returning Students

Following the payment of the acceptance fee, newly admitted students are expected to resume on campus by Sunday, November 2, 2025, for the commencement of registration and orientation activities.

On the other hand, returning students are scheduled to resume on Sunday, November 16, 2025, to continue their academic activities for the new session.

All students are advised to strictly adhere to these resumption dates, as academic activities will begin immediately upon resumption.

Implications of Missing the Deadline

The University has made it clear that candidates who do not pay the acceptance fee before the deadline risk losing their admission slot, which may subsequently be offered to other qualified candidates on the waiting list.

It is therefore advised that all admitted students act swiftly to avoid losing their hard-earned admission opportunities. DELSU has maintained a strict policy on deadlines to ensure transparency and effective academic administration.

Next Steps for Admitted Students

1. Confirm Admission Status: Candidates should verify their admission status via the official admission portal to ensure their names appear on any of the released admission lists (first, second, or third).
2. Pay the Acceptance Fee: Proceed to complete the acceptance fee payment within the stipulated period.
3. Print Out Payment Receipt: Keep copies of the payment slip or receipt as proof of payment — this will be required during registration.
4. Prepare for Resumption: Newly admitted students are expected to resume early, participate in orientation, and begin the registration process immediately.

Important Advisory to Students

• DELSU management encourages all admitted students to avoid any form of delay or last-minute rush to prevent issues such as network failures or portal congestion.
• Students should also ensure that payments are made through authorized university channels only, to avoid being defrauded by scammers posing as agents or school representatives.
• The University’s student affairs and ICT units are available to assist with any payment or verification challenges.

The statement further noted that adherence to deadlines, early registration, and participation in orientation programmes will help students integrate easily into the DELSU academic system and community life.
