The Management of Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, has officially announced the opening of its application portal for both inter-university and intra-university transfer admissions for the 2025/2026 academic session.

This is an exciting opportunity for students who, for various reasons, wish to transfer their studies either from another university into DELSU or from one department or faculty to another within the same institution.

🔄 About the Transfer Opportunities

The transfer process is part of DELSU’s ongoing commitment to promoting academic flexibility and student mobility across Nigerian universities. Through this initiative, the university allows deserving and qualified students to continue their academic journeys in a more suitable and supportive environment without losing the progress they have already made.

There are two main categories of transfer opportunities available:

1. Inter-University Transfer:
   This option is for students who are currently enrolled in other accredited Nigerian universities but wish to transfer into Delta State University to complete their studies. Such students may desire a change due to relocation, better facilities, improved academic standards, or personal reasons.

2. Intra-University Transfer:
   This category is open to students who are already registered at DELSU but would like to transfer from one department or faculty to another within the same institution.
   This gives students an opportunity to switch to a more suitable course of study based on their interests, academic performance, or future career goals.
