Delta State University Announces Change of Course Opportunity for Direct Entry Candidates

In a major update for admission seekers, the management of Delta State University (DELSU) has officially announced the release of the Direct Entry Change of Course Form for the 2025/2026 academic session.

This development offers a lifeline to candidates who did not meet their departmental cut-off marks or were not admitted in the first batch. These applicants can now apply to programmes with lower cut-off points and still stand a chance to secure admission this academic year.
