YABATECH 2025/2026 CODFEL Registration Guide Every Student Must Follow

YABATECH 2025/2026 CODFEL Registration Guide-Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) has released a detailed set of instructions for students who will be completing their CODFEL course registration for the upcoming academic session.

Because the CODFEL platform runs on a separate system from the main student portal, many students often make avoidable mistakes, incorrect fee payments, unsubmitted forms, deleted courses, and even penalties from the college.

This comprehensive guide explains every stage of the registration process in a calm, step-by-step format, ensuring students handle their registration correctly from start to finish. The aim of this guide is to help every student understand how the CODFEL portal works, how to make payments properly, what not to click on in the general portal, and how to avoid actions that can disrupt their academic records.

Everything you will read here aligns with the official instructions already issued by the institution.

Understanding CODFEL Registration at YABATECH

The CODFEL registration process is separate from the regular course registration that students complete on the main portal. CODFEL has its own payment system, course selection page, and submission procedure. Students must complete every step on the CODFEL portal before visiting the general portal for printing.

Skipping only one stage, especially the final “Submit Registration” button, can leave the entire registration invalid.

Below is a full breakdown of the official procedure.

Step 1: Access the CODFEL Course Registration Portal

Your first task is simply to reach the correct page. This step does not complete registration; it only opens the platform where you will carry out the rest of the process.

You can reach the CODFEL portal through two routes:

Method A (Direct Access):

Visit the main college portal via portal.yabatech.edu.ng
Click on the CODFEL Registration option.

Method B (Via the Main Website):

Go to the general YABATECH website.
Open the Student dropdown menu.
Select the option that leads to CODFEL registration.

Once the page opens, confirm that you are on the official CODFEL platform before proceeding. At this stage, no course selection has been done yet; you’ve simply entered the correct environment.

Step 2: Make Your Statutory Payment Before Logging In

YABATECH requires students to settle all statutory fees for the new academic session before the CODFEL portal will unlock access for registration. The system is designed this way to prevent incomplete registration and to ensure fees are paid before course selection begins.

On the CODFEL homepage, look for the link titled “Make Statutory Payment.”

Clicking on this will:

Redirect you to the payment page
Display the compulsory fees for the session
Provide the official payment channel for completing the transaction

Until this statutory payment is successfully made, you will not be able to proceed to course selection. The portal will remain locked even if you attempt to log in.

Step 3: Log In and Begin Selecting Your Courses

Once your statutory fee payment is confirmed, return to the CODFEL page and click “Commence Registration.”

You will then:

Enter your username and password
Gain full access to your CODFEL dashboard
View all available courses for the session

At this point, choose your courses carefully. The CODFEL portal displays courses based on your level and department, but it is still your responsibility to ensure you select only the correct ones.

Students should rely on:

Their approved course structure
Departmental advice
Curriculum guidelines

Selecting incorrect courses may affect your credit load or lead to extra charges later.

Step 4: Review Course Selection and Pay CODFEL Fees

Once you’ve chosen your courses, the system will provide a preview page showing every course you selected. This is one of the most important moments in the entire process because your CODFEL fees are calculated according to the number of credit units you picked.

Here, you have two options:

A. Edit Your Course List

If you notice a course that shouldn’t be there, or if you forgot to add something, you can return to the selection page and make corrections.

B. Proceed to Payment

If everything looks correct, click the option to generate your CODFEL fee invoice and complete the required payment through the approved channel.

Important Warning:
If you generate your fee and later realise your courses are wrong, you may pay for units you do not need. This is why the college strongly advises students to double-check their selections before generating any invoice.

Step 5: Submit Your Registration on the CODFEL Portal

A major mistake many students make is assuming that payment completes the registration. It does not.

After you have paid the CODFEL fee, you must return to the CODFEL page and locate the “Submit Registration” button.

Clicking this will:

Finalise your course list
Store your choices permanently
Mark your registration as complete in the CODFEL system

Without clicking this button, your registration remains incomplete, even if you have paid all fees. Students who fail to submit often discover later that their courses do not appear in the system, leading to academic issues and penalties.

Always confirm that the submission is successful before moving to the next step.

Step 6: Print Your Course Form from the General Student Portal

After you submit your registration on the CODFEL portal, your final task is to print your course form, but this part must be done on the general student portal, not on CODFEL.

Here’s the correct procedure:

Log in to the general student portal
Locate the option titled “Print Course Registration.”
Download and print the CODFEL course form

Very Important Warning:
YABATECH has warned students not to use the options labeled:

“Register My Courses”
“Unlock Course”

Using these options on CODFEL-related courses can:

Delete your registered CODFEL courses
Break the official registration protocol
Attract fines or disciplinary action

Students must print only through the approved link to avoid problems with their academic records.

Adding New Courses After Completing Registration

Some students decide to add a course after they have already completed the initial registration. YABATECH has provided an official way to handle this, but the process must be done physically at the CODFEL office.

Here’s what to do:

Visit the CODFEL office on campus
Request an invoice for the new course units
Pay through the official payment channel
Return with:
- Your proof of payment
- A written list of the extra courses you want added

The CODFEL office will then update your course list manually.

Students are warned not to attempt adding extra courses online by themselves. Only the CODFEL office has the authority to modify registered units.

Illegal Course Updates and the Consequences

The college has emphasized that trying to adjust your courses through unapproved methods counts as illegal registration. This includes:

Unlocking courses on the general portal
Adjusting CODFEL courses through shortcuts
Using another student’s access
Editing forms outside the official links

YABATECH has made it clear that such actions can:

Erase previously registered CODFEL courses
Mess up your academic records
Result in fines and disciplinary penalties

The safest approach is to follow the formal steps from beginning to end without attempting any shortcuts.
