Step 1: Visit the Official SDU Admission Portal
Go to the Southern Delta University application portal. Use only the official portal — do not pay through any third-party agent or website.
Step 2: Navigate to the Application Section
Scroll to the “Open Applications”, section then click on Register.
Step 3: Complete the Online Registration Form
Fill in your correct personal details, academic information, and JAMB registration details exactly as they appear on your UTME result slip. Any mismatch between your form and JAMB records can lead to disqualification.
Step 4: Pay the Application Fee
Pay the ₦2,000 application fee online through the payment platform available on the portal. Keep your payment receipt — you may need it for reference during admission processing.

Upload all required documents as specified on the portal, including your O’Level results if already available. Awaiting result candidates should upload their results to JAMB CAPS at an accredited CBT centre as soon as results are released.
