University of Lagos (UNILAG): Final Re-opening of Course Registration Portal for 1st Semester 2025/2026
The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Professor Folasade T. Ogunsola, OON, FAS, has approved a final window for students to complete their academic registrations. This directive follows numerous appeals from the student body and aims to ensure that no student is disenfranchised from participating in the upcoming First Semester examinations due to registration technicalities.
According to the official communication from the University Management, the portal will be accessible starting from 12:00 noon on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, and will remain open until 12:00 noon on Sunday, February 22, 2026. This brief four-day extension is designed to accommodate both initial registrations and any necessary adjustments to existing course selections.
Scope of the Portal Re-opening
This administrative reprieve is specifically tailored to address two categories of students. First, it serves those who, for various reasons, have been unable to register their courses since the beginning of the session. Second, it allows students who have already registered to perform "Add/Delete" operations to correct errors in their course profiles or align their selections with departmental requirements.
The Management has explicitly stated that this is the final re-opening of the portal for the First Semester of the 2025/2026 Academic Session. Once the deadline passes at noon on February 22, no further appeals for extension will be entertained, and the portal will be permanently locked to allow for the generation of examination broadsheets and dockets.
Crucial Deadlines and Compliance
Students are encouraged to treat this notice with extreme urgency. The University of Lagos maintains a strict "No Registration, No Examination" policy. Consequently, any student who fails to capture their courses on the portal within this window will be unable to sit for the first-semester exams, which may result in an involuntary suspension of studies or the loss of an entire academic year.
The Directorate of Academic Affairs advises students to double-check their "Course Form" once the registration is submitted. It is vital to ensure that all core, elective, and General Studies (GST) courses are correctly reflected on the printed registration slip.
Action Steps for Students
To ensure a smooth registration process before the Sunday deadline, students should follow these immediate steps:
Portal Access: Log in to the UNILAG Student Portal (studentportal.unilag.edu.ng ) using your matriculation number and password.
Fee Verification: Confirm that your school charges have been fully paid and reflected on the system, as the registration portal is often linked to payment status.
Course Selection: Carefully select the required courses for your level and semester. If you are adding or deleting courses, ensure you stay within the maximum and minimum credit unit limits.
Print Confirmation: After clicking "Submit," immediately print out the Course Registration Form. This document must be taken to your Departmental Course Adviser for signing and stamping to formalize the process.
In the event of technical hitches or portal errors, students are advised to visit the CITS (Center for Information Technology and Systems) located on the main campus for immediate resolution during working hours.
