How to Apply
Apply on the official portal at apply.tsuniversity.edu.ng (main site tsuniversity.edu.ng): create an account, pay the screening fee through the portal's e-payment gateway, complete your bio-data and O'level/JAMB details, upload your passport and results, and print your slip.
Stay safe: use only *.tsuniversity.edu.ng pages and the on-portal payment gateway. Many blogs republish TSU forms — they are not the university. Never pay an agent to “guarantee” admission.
