Yobe State University: Final Extension of Late Registration for 2025/2026 Academic Session

The Management of Yobe State University (YSU), Damaturu, has formally announced a one-week grace period for the late registration exercise. This directive, issued through a notice from the Office of the Registrar on February 13, 2026, is designed to provide a final opportunity for students who have faced challenges in finalizing their academic records for the current session.

This extension is comprehensive, applying to all categories of students—both newly admitted candidates and returning students across all levels. According to the Registrar, Isa Audu Dallari, the new deadline is strategically set to ensure the university remains on track with its approved 2025/2026 academic calendar.

Revised Late Registration Timeline
Students are urged to take note of the specific dates for this final window. Registration must be completed through the university’s central portal to be recognized by the Directorate of Academic Planning.

Commencement Date: Monday, 16 February 2026

Final Closing Date: Saturday, 21 February 2026

Critical Directives for Students
The university administration has emphasized that this window is a final administrative concession. Students should pay close attention to the following mandates:

No Further Extensions: The Registrar has explicitly stated that no further extension will be granted beyond Saturday, 21 February. After this date, the portal will be systematically locked to allow for the generation of official class lists and examination rosters.

Consequences of Non-Compliance: Students who fail to finalize their registration within this period risk losing their studentship for the session. Without valid registration, students will not be permitted to participate in continuous assessments or attend lectures.

Financial Clearance: Late registration typically involves a penalty fee. Students must ensure they have settled both the standard school fees and the prescribed late registration charges before attempting to select courses on the portal.

Administrative Coordination
The Registrar’s office has directed Faculty Officers and Departmental Heads to facilitate the screening and approval processes for students during this week. This is to ensure that any technical hitches encountered by students on the portal are resolved before the Saturday deadline.

Yobe State University remains committed to maintaining a stable academic calendar and encourages all affected students to act with urgency. This extension serves as a vital safety net for those who have yet to secure their residency for the 2025/2026 academic year.
