In a move signaling the commencement of a new academic phase, Madonna University has officially reopened its student portal, allowing returning and newly admitted students to complete essential academic and residential formalities. The institution made this announcement through its official communication channels, urging all students to take immediate action to avoid delays or late registration penalties.
Digital Transition for a Smoother Academic Experience
As part of Madonna University’s commitment to digital transformation and efficient service delivery, the student portal has been upgraded to ensure a user-friendly experience. The platform, accessible at www.madonnauniversity.edu.ng, now supports a wide range of academic and administrative activities including:
- Course Registration
- Hostel Accommodation Booking
- Tuition Fee Payment
- Access to Academic Records
- Updates on University News and Events
This development aligns with global trends in higher education, where institutions are leveraging technology to streamline operations and enhance student engagement.
Step-by-Step Course Registration Process
To register for courses, students are required to:
- Log into the Student Portal: Use your matriculation number and password.
- Navigate to Course Registration: Select the appropriate semester (e.g., First Semester 2024/2025).
- Choose Your Courses: Ensure that you select both compulsory and elective courses as per your department’s academic plan.
- Confirm and Submit: Review all selected courses before submitting. Once submitted, a printable slip will be generated for your records.
The university administration has advised students to consult their departmental course advisors to avoid errors in course selection.
Hostel Accommodation: First Come, First Served
Madonna University offers on-campus accommodation across all its campuses (Elele, Okija, and Akpugo), and students are encouraged to book their hostels early as space is limited. Accommodation ranges from standard rooms to premium options, all equipped with basic amenities conducive to academic life.
The hostel booking process includes:
- Logging into the Portal
- Selecting ‘Accommodation’ under Student Services
- Choosing a Hostel Block and Room Category
- Paying the Required Fees Online
- Printing the Accommodation Slip
Students are reminded that hostel allocation operates on a first come, first served basis. Those who delay their booking risk missing out on on-campus housing and may have to seek off-campus alternatives.
Important Dates and Deadlines
According to the academic calendar released by the university’s Registrar’s Office:
- Portal Opening Date: July 28, 2025
- Deadline for Course Registration: August 20, 2025
- Deadline for Hostel Booking: August 15, 2025
- Commencement of Lectures: August 25, 2025
Failure to meet these deadlines may attract a late registration fee or, in severe cases, denial of access to lectures and examinations.
Administrative Support and Help Desk
To support students through the registration and accommodation process, Madonna University has activated several help desks across its campuses. Additionally, a dedicated ICT support team is available via email and hotline to resolve any technical difficulties encountered on the portal.

University’s Message to Students
In a statement from the Vice Chancellor, Professor Chuks Ezedum, the university reiterated its commitment to academic excellence and student welfare.
“As we begin another academic year, I urge all students to take their responsibilities seriously. Completing your course registration and securing your accommodation on time is the first step toward a successful academic journey. We have invested heavily in our digital infrastructure to make your experience seamless, and we expect students to reciprocate with diligence and timeliness,” he said.
