The management of the University of Maiduguri has directed all undergraduate students to immediately complete their mandatory profile updates, document uploads and course registration on the university's official portal.
The directive follows concerns raised by the management over the significant number of undergraduate students with incomplete profiles and outstanding registration procedures.
According to a notice signed by the Registrar, Ahmad A. Lawan, the deadline for completing the exercise has been extended to Tuesday, October 20, 2026.
The university warned that failure to comply with the directive before the portal closes could result in automatic withdrawal from the institution, even for students who have already sat for and completed their final examinations for the current session.
University of Maiduguri Registration Deadline
All undergraduate students are required to complete the necessary registration procedures through the official university portal:
Portal: https://unimaid.online
The management emphasised that the exercise is urgent and that every student must ensure that their profile information, supporting documents and course registration are complete before the deadline.
Requirements for Completing the University of Maiduguri Portal Registration
Students are required to complete the following steps carefully.
1. Update Bio-Data and Upload Required Documents
All undergraduate students must update every relevant personal information field on their portal profiles and upload scanned copies of the following documents:
- Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) admission letter.
- O'Level results.
- Primary school certificate.
- Indigene form.
The university also warned students against uploading casual, stylised or fashion photographs, described in the notice as “passion photos.” Students should ensure that their uploaded photographs meet the university's requirements.
2. Complete E-Signature Capture
Students must provide their signatures through either of the approved methods:
- Use the digital signature pad on a mobile device to capture their signatures.
- Upload a clear scanned copy of their signature, signed strictly in black ink.
Students should ensure that their signatures are clear and properly captured before submitting their profiles.
3. Change the Default Portal Password
The management has directed all students to change their default portal passwords immediately and replace them with secure passwords.
Students are also warned not to share their login details with third parties or cyber café operators.
According to the university, students will be held personally accountable for the security of their accounts. Therefore, students should keep their passwords confidential and avoid disclosing sensitive login information.
4. Complete Course Registration

Students should carefully select and confirm the courses required for their respective programmes before submitting the registration.
After completing the process, students are required to print the following documents:

Both printed documents must be physically submitted to the student's Head of Department (HOD).
Completing the online registration alone is not sufficient; students must also submit the required hard copies to their departments.
Failure to Comply May Lead to Automatic Withdrawal
The University of Maiduguri management issued a strong warning to students who fail to complete the mandatory exercise before the deadline.
According to the notice, any undergraduate student who fails to update their portal profile, upload the required documents, secure their password, complete course registration and submit the printed forms to their department before the portal closes on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, will be automatically withdrawn from the university.
The management further stated that the withdrawal could be enforced even if the affected student had already sat for and completed their final examinations for the current academic session.
