The management of the University of Delta State, Agbor (UNIDEL) has officially announced the closure of its 2025/2026 academic session admission process. This vital information serves as a final reminder to all candidates who have either been offered admission or are still awaiting confirmation to complete all necessary admission formalities before the stipulated deadline.
According to the announcement, the admission process will officially close on Friday, 31st October 2025. This decision is in strict compliance with the directive issued by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), which mandates all tertiary institutions in Nigeria to conclude their admission exercises before the end of October.
Deadline and Compliance Details
The university management emphasized that the closure date is final and will not be extended under any circumstances. All admitted candidates are therefore advised to act swiftly to finalize their admission procedures.
Below is a summary of the key information:
| Important Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Admission Closure Date | Friday, 31st October 2025 |
| Deadline for Unconfirmed Admission Letters | Thursday, 30th October 2025 |
| Action Required | Acceptance of admission offer on JAMB CAPS and completion of clearance at the Admissions Office |
| Applicable Candidates | All newly admitted students for the 2025/2026 academic session |
What Admitted Candidates Must Do Immediately
The university has directed that all candidates who have been offered admission through the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) should:
- Log in to their JAMB CAPS portal and promptly accept the admission offer.
- Print their JAMB admission letter and UNIDEL admission notification slip for verification.
- Proceed to the UNIDEL Admissions Office for physical clearance, submission of required documents, and completion of registration.
- Candidates who are yet to receive or print their admission letters are strongly advised to visit the admissions office on or before Thursday, 30th October 2025, to resolve any issues before the portal closes.
Failure to complete these steps before the deadline means forfeiting the admission offer, as the university will have no obligation to entertain late processing or complaints afterward.
Important Advisory to Prospective and Admitted Students
The University of Delta State management cautions all candidates against complacency, emphasizing that the admission closure is part of a nationwide enforcement by JAMB to ensure a seamless transition into the new academic session.
Students who have already been admitted are therefore encouraged to:
- Verify their admission status regularly via JAMB CAPS to avoid missing updates.
- Upload their complete O’level results (if not already done) to ensure proper validation of their admission.
- Keep all receipts, clearance slips, and documents safe for future reference.
It was also noted that no student will be allowed to resume or attend lectures without having completed their clearance and paid the required acceptance fees.
For Candidates Still Awaiting Admission
For candidates who are yet to receive their admission offer, the university stated that the process for the 2025/2026 academic session has reached its final stage. As such, applicants are advised to check their JAMB profile and the university admission portal immediately to confirm their status.
If you notice any discrepancy or your admission status is still showing “Not Admitted,” it is crucial to contact the admissions office directly before the final closure date. Once the deadline passes, no new admissions will be processed or approved.
Why the Closure Matters
Every year, tertiary institutions across Nigeria adhere to the JAMB timetable for admissions closure to maintain academic timelines. This ensures that newly admitted students can resume early and that all institutions maintain a uniform academic calendar nationwide.
For UNIDEL, this announcement signifies the end of all admission-related activities for the 2025/2026 academic year. Candidates who miss this window will need to reapply in the next admission cycle.
Hence, the importance of acting promptly cannot be overemphasized. Delays in accepting offers or completing clearances often result in automatic disqualification, and affected candidates will not be reconsidered until the next session.
