New students were welcomed on October 14, 2024, with returning students joining on October 20, 2024. Classes officially began on November 4, 2024. A three-week registration period opened on October 14 to November 1, 2024. For those who missed this deadline, a late registration window, subject to a penalty, opened on November 2, 2024, and will close on November 8, 2024.
The institution emphasized that any new student who fails to complete both payment and registration by the final deadline will risk forfeiting their admission. To assist students facing financial challenges, the statement highlighted the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) loan scheme for tertiary institutions, encouraging them to take advantage of this support who avoid delay in their registration.
