The University of Lagos (UNILAG) Admissions Office has officially announced an extension of the online registration deadline for the 2025/2026 academic session.

👉 The new deadline is now set for Wednesday, 8th October, 2025.

This decision comes as part of the University’s commitment to ensuring that all prospective students are given sufficient time and opportunity to complete their registration without unnecessary stress.

Why the Extension Matters

Many applicants had expressed concerns over challenges such as:

• Limited access to online platforms due to network congestion.

• Technical hitches faced while uploading necessary documents.

• Late completion of O’level results or JAMB updates.

The University management, acknowledging these realities, has graciously extended the deadline. This gesture is to accommodate all qualified candidates who may have missed the initial closing date.
