The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) school E-portal has remained inaccessible following a temporary shutdown, which has limited access to the university’s online platform used for academic and administrative activities.
A memo released on November 18, 2025, stated that the school’s e-portal would be temporarily shut down from Monday, November 24, to Friday, December 5, 2025. According to the memo, the shutdown was to allow the Computer Centre and the Academic Planning Unit to carry out necessary configurations and updates.
The memo further explained that the shutdown was required for the realignment of the academic session for newly admitted 100-level students so they could be officially enrolled under the 2025/2026 academic session rather than the 2024/2025 session. It also covered the uploading of new 100-level curricula into the Course and Curriculum Management System (CCMAS).
Maintenance Ongoing, Expert Speaks
Speaking on the development, OAUPeeps talked to an expert at the University's ICT Centre, who explained that the school’s e-portal is currently under maintenance. According to him, ‘This is being done to make some adjustments and carry out necessary configurations and updates.’
‘The e-portal will be opened back after the completion of the update processes,’ he added.
At the time of filing this report, the e-portal is still inaccessible.
However, OAUPeeps can confirm that the e-portal is now reflecting the 2025/2026 academic session.
Students Stranded
Meanwhile, some students have shared their experiences regarding the continued inaccessibility of the portal.
Joy Okafor, a 300-level student, expressed her displeasure, saying, ‘I need to make some corrections to my course registration, but I cannot do that now because the school portal is closed. I am still waiting for them to open it so I can know if I will be attending my classes.’
Similarly, Ononye Abraham, a 100-level student, said he has been unable to complete some important registration processes as a freshman. ‘I have not been able to do some important registration on my e-portal, and this is affecting my departmental and faculty registration while waiting for the portal to be opened,’ he said.
With the portal still inaccessible, members of the university community continue to await further updates from the school management regarding this matter.
