Togo university registration: a step-by-step guide for new students
The Université de Lomé (UL), Togo’s leading higher education institution, welcomes thousands of first-year undergraduates and returning students annually. For the upcoming academic year, the university has revamped its enrollment process, shifting to a fully digital and streamlined system to ensure a smoother experience for applicants.
Whether you’re a fresh baccalauréat holder or a current student renewing your enrollment, following the correct steps is essential to secure your spot. Here’s your complete guide to navigating the UL registration process without a hitch.
What you need before starting
Before logging into the online portal, gather the following prerequisites to ensure a seamless registration:
- New first-year students (LMD 1): You must hold a valid BAC 2 diploma or an equivalent qualification recognized by the Togolese Ministry of Higher Education.
- Returning students: Ensure you have your UL student ID (Matricule UL) and have successfully completed the previous academic year or met progression requirements.
- Valid contact details: An active email address and mobile phone number are mandatory for account creation and receiving important notifications.
- Digital payment options: Prepare a Flooz account (T-Money/Moov Money) or an activated bank card to cover registration and tuition fees.
How to register online: a clear 5-step breakdown
The entire enrollment process is now managed through the Université de Lomé’s official digital platform, accessible via daas.univ-lome.tg or the dedicated RESUP system.
Step 1: Set up your account and pre-enroll
Visit the Direction des Affaires Académiques et de la Scolarité (DAAS) website. Create your student profile by entering personal details, your BAC 2 grades, and selecting your preferred academic path—whether a Faculty, School, or Institute.
Step 2: Upload required documents
Scan and upload the necessary files in PDF or JPG format. These include a valid ID, your BAC 2 certificate, birth certificate, and a recent passport-sized photo.
Step 3: Pay tuition and registration fees
Complete the payment using approved channels, such as partner banks (Ecobank, BTCI/IB Bank) or integrated mobile payment solutions.
Step 4: Receive administrative validation
Once your payment is confirmed, the DAAS team reviews your application. Upon approval, a digital quitus (registration clearance) will be generated in your personal account.
Step 5: Complete medical screening and collect your student card
Schedule a mandatory medical check-up at the Centre Médical de l’Université de Lomé (CMUL). After clearance, collect your biometric student card from the designated counter.
Essential documents to keep on hand
While the pre-enrollment is digital, you must retain the original copies of these documents for future verification during academic or exam periods:
- A legalized copy of your birth certificate.
- A legalized copy of your Togolese nationality certificate (for nationals) or your passport/residence permit (for international students).
- The original or legalized copy of your BAC 2 diploma.
- Academic transcripts from Seconde, Première, and Terminale.
- A printed copy of your registration confirmation from the UL portal.
- Bank or digital payment receipts.
Pro tip: Stick to the deadlines set by the DAAS. Late submissions often result in penalties or automatic rejection. To avoid server overloads during peak times, begin your registration as soon as the window opens.
