The management of Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) has extended the deadline for the verification and registration of the newly admitted 100 level students to January 16, 2026, following low compliance recorded so far. 
 
The announcement, which was in a memo from the Registrar’s office, informed students of the new deadline for both newly admitted and returning students which is now January 16, 2026.  

The extension became necessary after a report from the Task force on Registration of Students showed the poor participation from students. 
 
“Arising from the report of the Task force on Registration of students, it has been observed that 50% compliance as at 19th December, 2025 has been recorded on registration of new students, while less than 10% recorded for continuing students,” the statement read. 
 
The management has now graciously approved an extension of the registration deadline to January 16, 2026, for both new and returning students. However, the university warned that failure to meet the new deadline will attract sanctions. 
 
“Beyond this date, appropriate sanctions will be meted out to defaulters as may be determined by Management,” the memo stated. 
 
The Registrar further directed all Deans, Heads of Departments, Faculty Officers, ICT faculty representatives, and Admission Registration Officers to ensure full compliance with the directive. 
 
Students are therefore advised to complete their verification and registration processes before the deadline to avoids sanctions and portal related issues.
