BSUM Resumption Date 2026/2027 Academic Session | Benue State University, Makurdi Resumption Date
Before anything else, there’s an important update worth flagging: Benue State University, Makurdi (BSUM) has officially changed its name to Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu University, Makurdi. The university’s own website carries a formal notification of this change, so students searching for “BSUM” going forward should be aware that official communications may increasingly appear under the new name.
Note: Despite the renaming, “BSUM” and “Benue State University” remain the terms most people search, and the university’s web address (bsum.edu.ng) has not changed, so official updates are still easy to find at the same portal.
Where Admissions Currently Stand
The university has already opened its Post-UTME Form for the 2026/2027 academic session. Candidates must score at least 150 in JAMB and have chosen the university as their first choice (or complete a change of institution) to be eligible. The Post-UTME form typically becomes available after JAMB results are released, generally around August or September, and costs ₦2,000.
Resumption Pattern From the Most Recent Session (For Reference)
For the 2025/2026 session, the university released an amended (revised) academic calendar for the first semester, reflecting adjustments made after the original schedule was published. The university’s recent history includes notable milestones such as its 32nd Matriculation Ceremony for regular freshmen in the 2024/2025 session and the expansion of academic offerings with new faculties and programmes.
What to Expect for 2026/2027
Given that the Post-UTME form for 2026/2027 has already opened, the expected sequence is:
- Completion of Post-UTME screening and admission list release
- Acceptance fee payment and registration by newly admitted students
- Senate approval and release of the 2026/2027 academic calendar
- Official resumption date announcement for fresh and returning students

A Word of Caution
Given the name change to Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu University, students should expect some official documents, admission letters, and future circulars to reference the new name even while informal searches continue to use “BSUM” or “Benue State University.” Always confirm resumption dates through the official bsum.edu.ng portal directly.
