CUSTECH Registration Deadlines for 2026/2027
The university has also pushed back the registration timeline.
| Registration | Dates | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Regular registration | Deadline: Friday, November 13th, 2026 | Standard fees apply |
| Late registration | Saturday, November 14th to Monday, November 23rd, 2026 | ₦10,000 late registration fee |
Students who miss the regular deadline will pay the statutory ₦10,000 late fee, so it is best to complete registration on time.
What Fresh Students Should Do
CUSTECH advised fresh students to begin the following immediately after resumption:
- Screening
- Physical documentation
- Online course registration
Since fresh students were due to resume on October 12th, those admitted this session should already be on the process or preparing to start it. Keep your admission documents ready and follow the instructions given at the screening venue.
What Returning Students Should Do
Returning students do not have to wait until they are back on campus to get started. The university said they may continue with fee payment and course registration through the online portal before their physical return. Completing both steps early helps you avoid the late registration fee.
