Important Information for ESUT 2025/2026 Academic Session
It is important to know that, as the session starts, academic activities like the C.A. test commence from the fifth week of resumption, so it is important to be on campus to begin classes. The continuous assessment covers about 30% of each semester's performance.
School fees payment is the key to accessing all the benefits of a student. Not just in ESUT, but in all universities around Nigeria, late payment of fees attracts a penalty.
Documentation and registration are more important for new students. As you resume campus, it is necessary to submit all needed documents and carry out registrations where needed. This is you keeping your records organised and preventing any administrative issues that might affect you as a student.
