KASU Diploma Applicants: Collect Admission Notification In-Person by May 15, 2025

Kaduna State University (KASU) has issued an important notice for diploma programme applicants who have not received admission notifications via email. If you applied for diploma admission at KASU's Institute of Science, Technology, and Management Studies (ISTMS) but haven't heard back, you need to take immediate action.

Who This Notice Affects

This notice is specifically for applicants who:

• Applied for diploma programmes at KASU ISTMS for the current admission cycle
• Have NOT received admission notification via email
• Are still waiting to know their admission status

If you received your admission notification already, you don't need to visit the office.

What You Must Do

KASU is instructing affected applicants to visit the institute in person to collect their admission notifications.

Where to Go: ISTMS Secretary's Office, 2nd Floor, New Pharmacy Building, KASU Main Campus

When: Thursday, May 8, 2025 to Thursday, May 15, 2025 (one week window)

Office Hours: Typical university working hours (8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Monday-Friday, check for Saturday hours)

Required Documents

The university advises that you "ensure you come with all the necessary documents." While the notice doesn't specify exact documents, applicants should bring:

• Application printout/acknowledgement slip: Proof that you applied
• Payment receipt: Evidence of application fee payment
• Valid ID: National ID card, voter's card, or other government-issued ID
• O-Level results: Original or photocopies of WAEC/NECO certificates

Bring both originals and photocopies to be safe.

Finding the ISTMS Office

Location: New Pharmacy Building, 2nd Floor, KASU Main Campus, Kaduna

If you're unfamiliar with KASU's campus:

1. Enter the main gate and ask security for directions to the Pharmacy Building
2. The New Pharmacy Building houses the Institute of Science, Technology, and Management Studies (ISTMS)
3. Go to the 2nd floor and look for the ISTMS Secretary's office
4. If you get lost, ask any staff member or student—they'll point you in the right direction

Why In-Person Collection?

This notice suggests there was an issue with the digital notification process. Possible reasons include:

• Email delivery failures (spam filters, wrong email addresses)
• Technical glitches in the notification system
• Need for document verification before releasing admission
• Requirement for applicants to sign acceptance forms in person

Whatever the reason, don't ignore this notice. If you don't collect your notification by May 15, you might lose your admission slot.

Important Deadlines

Collection Window: May 8-15, 2025 (7 days only)

Don't wait until May 15 to visit. Go as early as possible (ideally May 8-10) to avoid:

• Last-minute rush and long queues
• Unexpected office closures or emergencies
• Transportation delays
• Missing the deadline entirely

What to Expect When You Visit

1. Verification: The ISTMS Secretary will verify your identity and application
2. Notification Collection: You'll receive your admission status (accepted or not)
3. Next Steps Briefing: If admitted, you'll be told what to do next (acceptance fee, registration, etc.)
4. Document Submission: You may need to submit certain documents on the spot

Be prepared to spend 1-2 hours at the office, especially if there are many applicants.

If You're From Outside Kaduna

1. Call KASU admissions office immediately to explain your situation
2. Ask if they can email your notification or allow a proxy (representative) to collect on your behalf
