RSU Clearance Exercise 2025: Step-by-Step Guide for Newly Admitted Students
The excitement of securing a spot on the Rivers State University (RSU) admission list is unmatched. But before you can officially call yourself an RSU student, there’s one final — and very crucial — step: the RSU clearance exercise.
This process transforms your admission offer into official university status. It’s the stage where you prove your eligibility, submit your documents, and complete the administrative steps required to join the RSU academic community.
Venue for RSU Clearance
All physical clearance activities will take place at the Information, Communication, and Technology Centre (ICTC) located inside the university campus.
Once you’ve accepted your admission offer, the ICTC should be your first destination.
Think of it as RSU’s way of saying, “Welcome, now let’s make it official.”
The university advises students to come early, as the first few days of the exercise are often crowded.
Documents Required for RSU Clearance
Proper documentation is key. Ensure that all your papers are original, organized, and accurate — even a minor spelling mistake can cause delays.
Below is the complete list of documents required for UTME and Direct Entry candidates:
- JAMB Admission Letter (printed from the official JAMB portal)
- Original JAMB Result Slip
- Accepted Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
- Original O’Level Certificates (WAEC, NECO, or equivalent — not printouts)
- Birth Certificate or Age Declaration
- Local Government Identification Letter
- Acceptance Fee Receipt (ensure payment is confirmed before clearance)
Your details across all documents must match perfectly — discrepancies can lead to unnecessary verification delays.
Important Notice from RSU Management
The university has issued a firm reminder:
If you have been offered admission and haven’t accepted it on JAMB CAPS, do so immediately.
Failure to accept your offer before the official deadline means you risk losing your admission permanently. RSU has emphasized that no extensions or second lists will be provided for candidates who miss this stage.
So, whether you gained admission through UTME or Direct Entry, ensure you:
- Accept your offer on JAMB CAPS
- Pay your acceptance fee
- Proceed to the clearance venue with your complete documents
Editor’s Note: Your First Step Into RSU Life
The RSU clearance exercise is more than paperwork — it’s the beginning of your university journey. The queues may be long, the sun may be hot, and someone might forget a document, but once cleared, you’ll finally breathe that sigh of relief: “I’m officially an RSU student.”
Returning students often call it the “initiation into campus life.”
So, dress neatly, stay organized, and perhaps bring a bottle of water. This is the moment where your RSU story truly begins.
