AbdulThe 2025/2026 academic session at Zamfara State University (ZAMSUT), Talata-Mafara, marks an important step for newly admitted undergraduates. This comprehensive guide walks you through the full registration process—from portal login to fee payment and clearance—so you’re fully prepared and avoid delays.
Why Proper Registration Matters
Registration at ZAMSUT isn’t just a bureaucratic step—it’s your gateway to accessing the university’s academic services, classes, library, and campus life. Incomplete or late registration can result in:
- Inability to access the student portal or course registration modules.
- Delay in issuance of student ID, matriculation number and clearance.
- Risk of losing your admission slot if the deadlines are missed.
By completing the registration process correctly and on time, you position yourself for a smooth academic start in the 2025/2026 session.
Key Facts & Pre-Registration Requirements
Before you begin the actual process, make sure you have:
- An official admission / confirmation letter from ZAMSUT.
- Your admission number or portal login credentials (often your admission number is both username and password)
- A valid bank account or ATM card for online payment of registration fees.
- All required documents (see section 4) have been scanned and are ready.
- A stable internet connection and browser, as you’ll use the ZAMSUT Student Information System (SIS). sis.zamsut.edu.ng
Step-by-Step Registration Process
Step 1: Log in to the ZAMSUT Student Portal
- Visit the official portal: SIS.ZAMSUT.edu.ng (or the current link as directed by the Registrar’s office). sis.zamsut.edu.ng+1
- Enter your admission number as username and password (unless you’ve changed it).
- After login, navigate to the “Undergraduate Registration” or “Matriculation” section.
Step 2: Generate Remita Invoice for Registration Fees
- Within the portal, select “Generate invoice” to receive a Remita reference number (RRR). sis.zamsut.edu.ng+1
- Print or save the Remita invoice, which lists your registration fees and RRR details.
- Pay the amount at any designated commercial bank or via online banking using the Remita system.
Step 3: Verify Payment on the Portal
- After payment, return to the portal and click on “Verify form payment” or equivalent link. sis.zamsut.edu.ng+1
- Wait for confirmation status to change (e.g., “Payment Verified – Proceed”).
- Only after payment is verified can you proceed with the next steps.
Step 4: Fill out Registration / Matriculation Forms
- After payment verification, fill out your biodata, next-of-kin/sponsor details, course selection (if required), and upload your passport photo. sis.zamsut.edu.ng+1
- Once completed, print your registration/matriculation slip for your records.
Step 5: Collect Files from the Bursary / Registrar’s Office
- After online steps, you’ll often visit the Bursary Department or Registrar’s unit at the permanent site. The bursary issues your registration files and guides you for physical documentation.
- Submit your printed payment receipt and registration slip to that office.
- Keep copies of all acknowledgement receipts safely.
Step 6: Course Registration & Clearance
- With your matriculation number obtained and registration confirmed, log in again and register your courses for the semester.
- Follow your department’s instructions for registration clearance, exam timetable, and orientation schedule.
Documents & Requirements Checklist
Ensure you have the following ready:
- Admission / confirmation letter from ZAMSUT.
- Remita invoice printout and bank receipt of payment.
- Admission number and login credentials.
- Scanned passport photograph (as per portal requirements).
- Birth certificate or age declaration (if required).
- Local government of origin certificate or your state of origin document.
- Valid email address and phone number for notifications.
- For direct‐entry or transfer students, additional documents such as JAMB DE result or an approved transfer letter are required.
Registration Fees & Payment Notes
- While the exact fee may vary by department and level, the portal will display your specific amount when generating the invoice.
- Always use the Remita reference number (RRR) generated by the system. Do not make separate payments without using the official portal link.
- Print your bank receipt immediately after payment and store digital and physical copies—this is essential for verification and clearance.
Important Deadlines & Tips for Success
- Log in early (portal opens as soon as admission is confirmed) — avoid leaving registration to the last minute.
- Confirm your department’s registration deadline (often late November or early December) to avoid late charges or forfeiture.
- Check your portal 24–48 hours after payment for verification updates.
- Attend your orientation/matriculation event (often scheduled by faculty).
- Contact the Registrar’s office if your payment is not verified within 72 hours of submission.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using incorrect credentials: always use your admission number as designated.
- Paying without generating the Remita invoice—payments without RRR may not be recognised.
- Uploading poor-quality documents or scanned blurry photos may cause verification delays.
- Ignoring the Bursary/Registrar step at the permanent site—online registration alone does not complete the process.
- Missing the deadline—once closed, you may face restrictions or additional fees.
What Happens After Registration
- Once fully registered and cleared, you’ll receive your matriculation number, which you’ll use for all academic processes.
- You gain access to library services, exam registration modules, and course portals.
- Student ID cards will be issued—often after the matriculation ceremony.
- You’ll be able to attend lectures and be listed on official class and department rosters.
