The management of Adamawa State University (ADSU), Mubi, has announced the official closing date for course registration for the 2025/2026 academic session.

According to a circular released by the university, all manual course registration processes including departmental clearance and submission of completed forms to relevant academic units must be concluded on or before Friday, 13th March 2026. This timeline is crucial to ensure that students’ academic records are properly documented across departments, faculties, and the central registry.

Manual Registration and Documentation Process

Although registration often begins online, the university emphasized the importance of the manual stage. This phase requires students to physically validate their selected courses with their departmental advisers and submit signed copies to designated offices.

The March 13 deadline specifically covers:

• Departmental Approval: Academic advisers must confirm that students have selected appropriate courses and met all prerequisite requirements.
  
• Submission of Forms: Completed registration forms must be distributed to the Faculty Office, Exams and Records Division, and other relevant administrative units for proper filing.
  

This manual verification step serves as an additional safeguard to ensure accurate academic records.

Late Registration Penalty

The University Senate has approved strict measures for students who fail to meet the stated deadline. Any attempt to complete manual registration after March 13 will attract a late registration penalty.

The enforcement of this penalty is intended to:

• Maintain accurate academic data and generate reliable class lists.
  
• Prevent administrative delays that could affect mid-semester tests and final examinations.
  
• Promote discipline and adherence to institutional timelines.

Zero-Tolerance for Complaints After Deadline

Management has also made it clear that complaints resulting from failure to meet the deadline will not be entertained. Once the registration window closes, attention will shift fully to teaching, learning, and assessment activities.

Students who do not complete their registration properly may face serious consequences, including:

• Non-approval of Results: Courses not duly registered may not be recognized during Senate consideration of results.
  
• Assessment Restrictions: Departments may rely on finalized registration lists to determine eligibility for continuous assessments, practicals, and examinations.

Final Advisory to Students

The March 13, 2026 deadline marks a critical milestone in the academic calendar. Students are strongly advised to complete all documentation, obtain necessary signatures, and submit their forms to the appropriate offices before the close of business on that date.

Meeting this requirement will help ensure a smooth and stable semester for both students and the university administration.
