Bayero University Kano (BUK) has announced an extension of the undergraduate registration deadline for the 2024/2025 academic session. All returning students who haven't completed their course registration now have until Monday, July 7, 2025 to do so.

New Registration Deadline

Final Deadline: Monday, July 7, 2025

According to the university administration, "all activities related to undergraduate registration will close on Monday, 7th July, 2025."

This is your last opportunity to register for the 2024/2025 academic session.

Critical Requirements: Contact Your Level Coordinator

BUK has introduced a mandatory coordination requirement:

Consequences of Non-Compliance

If You Don't Register by July 7

The university has stated: "Any returning student who fails to register is advised to suspend his studies till next session."

This means:

If You Register Without Level Coordinator Approval

The university will not entertain complaints about registration errors if you failed to coordinate with your level coordinator. You'll be held personally liable for any mistakes.

After the Closing Date

"Complaints relating to registration would not be entertained after the closing date."

This means:

• No appeals for missed registration
