The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has officially announced an extension of the acceptance fee payment deadline for newly admitted candidates for the 2025/2026 academic session.

According to the university management, the new deadline for completing acceptance and clearance procedures is Sunday, November 17, 2025, instead of the previous November 10, 2025.

This extension gives all newly admitted students more time to finalize their acceptance process and secure their admission offer.

The acceptance process is a crucial step for every candidate offered provisional admission into UNIBEN. Candidates who fail to complete the process before the deadline risk forfeiting their admission slot.

The management therefore advises all admitted students to act promptly by visiting the UNIBEN official portal to confirm and accept their admission.
