He Management of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS), through the Office of the Registrar, has released a critical directive for all newly admitted students and those undergoing Inter-Faculty transfers for the 2025/2026 academic session. In accordance with national admission regulations, every student must ensure full compliance with the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) prior to the university's formal induction. This administrative step is mandatory to validate the studentship of all freshmen and ensure their records are officially captured in the national database.
Deadline and Matriculation Schedule
The University has officially scheduled its Matriculation Ceremony for 25th February, 2026. This date serves as the final deadline for the printing and verification of original JAMB Admission Letters. It is essential for students to understand that the matriculation process is not merely ceremonial but a legal registration of their presence at the university. Consequently, the deadline for all JAMB-related documentation coincides with the ceremony date to ensure that only verified students are formally admitted into the university's academic community.
Instructions for Correction and Compliance
Students are advised to carefully compare their UDUS Admission Confirmation Letter with their official JAMB Admission Letter. If there is any discrepancy in the course of study or other personal details between these two documents, the student must urgently visit a JAMB office or an accredited CBT center to apply for a correction of data or a change of course. Failure to align these records will prevent the system from recognizing the student as being CAPS compliant, which is a prerequisite for official matriculation.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
The notice signed by the Registrar, Mal. Ahmadu Shehu, emphasizes that any student who fails to present their original JAMB Admission Letter by 25th February, 2026, will face severe academic consequences. Specifically, such individuals will be excluded from the official Matriculation List and will not be assigned a formal Matriculation Number. Without these credentials, the individual will not be recognized as a student of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, effectively leading to the forfeiture of their admission offer for the session.
Next Steps for Students
To avoid complications, all affected students should immediately log into the JAMB e-Facility portal to check their admission status and print their original letters. Direct Entry students and those who have transferred between faculties should be particularly diligent in ensuring their transfer has been reflected on the JAMB portal. Taking these steps early will allow enough time to resolve any technical issues that may arise at the JAMB zonal office before the February deadline.
