Understanding DELSU’s Extended Deadlines for 2023/2024
The Management at DELSU has carefully considered several critical factors before arriving at this decision:
- Current State of Fees Payment: It has been noted that the progression of school fees payments and course registrations by students is less than satisfactory.
- Students Union’s Plea: The Students Union Executive has requested an extension, highlighting the financial strain on students and their families, especially given the economic hardships.
- Challenges with the New Curriculum: The implementation of the new curriculum, marred by late release and errors, has impeded the registration process.
- JAMB Portal Re-upload: Newly admitted students are required to re-upload their bio-data on JAMB’s portal to expedite their admission letters, which is vital for completing their registration.
- Financial Burden Post-Yuletide: Recognising the expenditures incurred during the festive season and the upcoming end-of-January salary payments, the financial burden on parents and guardians has been deemed significant.
DELSU’s Extended Deadlines and Late Registration Fees
- New Deadline: The deadline for the payment of school fees and online course registration has been extended to 5th February 2024. This is the final extension with no further postponement anticipated.
- Late Registration Policy: Starting from 6th February 2024, late registration or school fees payment will incur a penalty fee of ₦10,000.00.
Action Plan for DELSU Students
- Utilise the Extension: Students are strongly advised to complete all necessary processes, including screening, school fees payment, and online registration, before the new deadline of 5 February 2024.
- Avoid Late Fees: To circumvent the late registration penalty, ensure all dues are cleared within the extended window.
