OOU Shifts School Fees Deadline for Freshers to December 15, 2025

Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, has officially shifted the school fees payment deadline for newly admitted students in the 2025/2026 academic session to Monday, December 15, 2025. The update, released through an official circular, offers fresh students extra days to finalize their payments and secure their admission.

But while the university has granted more time, the tone of the circular makes one thing clear: there will be no further extension after this new date.

A Lifeline for Students Still Completing Admission Steps

The revised deadline is widely seen as a relief for new entrants who are still completing various admission procedures or trying to arrange their payment plans. OOU explained that the extension is meant to ensure that more students finalize their onboarding processes without unnecessary pressure.

However, the circular strongly warns that failure to pay on or before December 15 may affect the student’s registration for the new academic session. The university portal will close immediately after the deadline.

Why This Extension Matters

For many parents and guardians, the extra days provide a crucial buffer to gather the required fees. It reduces the risk of losing admission over payment delays—an issue that has affected many students in previous years.

Still, the university emphasizes that this extension should not be misunderstood as a signal to relax. With the deadline now fixed, timely payment remains the safest path to avoid complications once the session begins.

Next Steps for Fresh Students

OOU advises all newly admitted students to:

• Log in early to the official university portal
• Confirm their payment details
• Complete all required steps before the deadline
• Save and print their payment receipts
• Update all records on the portal to ensure smooth registration when the academic year begins

Completing these steps early will help avoid the last-minute rush and potential technical issues when the portal becomes busy.

OOU Reaffirms Commitment to a Smooth Start for Freshers

The university’s update reflects an effort to help incoming students settle in with fewer obstacles as the 2025/2026 academic session approaches. With the new deadline set—and marked as final—freshers are urged to act promptly and secure their place without delay.
