The management of Northwest University Kano has officially announced that registration for the 2025/2026 academic session will commence on Monday, 23rd March 2026 and close on Saturday, 26th April 2026. All newly admitted students are strongly advised to follow the outlined procedures carefully to ensure a smooth and successful registration process.
This registration exercise is a crucial step in confirming admission status, completing documentation, and fully integrating into the academic system of the university. Failure to comply within the specified timeframe may result in forfeiture of admission.
Stage 1: Faculty Screening and Medical Examination
The first stage of the registration process involves credential screening and medical clearance.
Students are required to visit their respective faculties for proper screening of their O’Level results and Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) UTME subject combinations. This step ensures that all admitted candidates meet the academic requirements for their chosen courses.
After faculty screening, candidates are to proceed to the University Clinic to obtain their Medical Certificate. The medical screening will be conducted based on scheduled dates assigned to each faculty, so students are advised to adhere strictly to their allocated time.
Stage 2: Portal Registration and Payment
The second stage focuses on online registration and payment of required fees.
Students are to log in to the University Portal and click on the “New Registration” option. After generating their payment invoice, candidates must proceed to make payment through the NABROLL platform.
Once payment is completed, students should return to the portal to print their official payment receipt. Thereafter, they are required to go back to their faculty registration points with essential documents such as their JAMB Admission Letter, Acceptance Form, and academic credentials for further documentation and verification.
Stage 3: Course Registration
At this stage, students are expected to complete their course registration.
- UTME candidates should log in to the portal to print their Course Registration Form (CRF).
- Direct Entry (DE) candidates are required to visit their departments to obtain their course outlines and credit load before uploading them on the portal.
After completing the registration online, all students must visit their Level Coordinators for authentication and confirmation of their Course Registration Forms. This ensures that all registered courses are accurate and approved.
Stage 4: Final Documentation and I.D Card Processing
The final stage involves completing all institutional documentation.
Students are to report to the Directorate of Examinations, Admissions, and Records (DEAR) for final verification of their documents. They are also required to visit the Student Affairs Division for the processing and collection of their official student I.D cards.
In addition, students must complete their registration at the University Library, which grants them access to academic resources and study materials.
