Delta State University (DELSU), in a pivotal decision made during an Emergency Management meeting on 8th January 2024, has announced an extension to the deadlines for student screening, school fees payment, and course registration. This announcement comes as a significant relief to both new and returning students facing various challenges amid the prevailing economic climate.
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.
