Benin launched a centralized registration system for the 2026-2027 academic year on 9 October 2026. Pre-registration and re-registration processes now fall under this unified platform for all students. Participation in the system is mandatory for those enrolling at the University of Abomey-Calavi and the University of Parakou. The requirement also applies to students attending the National University of Agriculture and the National University of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Authorities introduced this protocol to streamline administrative procedures across these four public higher education institutions. Students must complete their documentation through the designated digital portal to finalize their status for the current academic cycle.
Digital Registration Process Requirements
Students must obtain a unique university registration number to access the centralized portal. This identifier requires a direct link to the student's personal identification number, known as the NPI. The system validates each application by matching these two specific data points to confirm the identity of the applicant within the national database.
Security protocols for the digital registration process depend on the records held by the National Agency for the Identification of Persons (ANIP). Applicants are required to provide the exact phone number already registered with ANIP during their initial setup. The system sends a mandatory verification code to this specific mobile device to finalize the authentication of the user's account. Students unable to access the phone number associated with their ANIP profile must update their contact information through the agency before they can proceed with university enrollment. These requirements apply to all individuals submitting documentation for the 2026-2027 academic year.
Study Grant Application Timelines
Students seeking financial assistance for the 2026-2027 academic year may submit their study grant applications between 5 October 2026 and 5 February 2027. The window for these submissions closes at midnight on the final date. Applicants must ensure all required documentation is uploaded to the centralized registration portal before this deadline to remain eligible for consideration.
Technical support for individuals encountering difficulties during the registration process or grant application phase remains available through official channels. Students may contact the help desk by telephone at +229 01 52 61 10 10. Alternatively, inquiries regarding system access or application requirements can be directed to the support team via email at [email protected].
