The University Management, through the Office of the Registrar, is pleased to announce the official schedule for the 6th Matriculation Ceremony. This ceremony is a foundational academic rite of passage, marking the formal induction of newly admitted students into the university’s scholarly community for the 2025/2026 academic session.

Matriculation represents the official transition of an individual from an applicant to a “bonafide” student, endowed with all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities associated with the institution. It is a solemn occasion where students publicly pledge their commitment to the university’s values of excellence, integrity, and discipline.

Event Details: Save the Date

All members of the university community, including staff, returning students, parents, and well-wishers, are invited to take note of the following logistical details:

• Date: Wednesday, 28th January, 2026.

• Time: The ceremony is scheduled to commence at 8:30 a.m..

• Venue: The proceedings will take place at the Convocation Arena.

Punctuality Notice: All matriculating students are strictly required to be processed and seated by 9:00 a.m. prompt. Latecomers may be denied entry into the arena once the academic procession has commenced.

The Significance of the Matriculation Oath

The highlight of the 6th Matriculation Ceremony is the administration of the Matriculation Oath. This is not merely a formality but a legal and moral commitment made by the student to the University Senate and Council. By taking this oath, you agree to:

1. Abide by University Rules: To follow the code of conduct and regulations outlined in the student handbook.

2. Respect Authority: To acknowledge and respect the administrative and academic leadership of the institution.

3. Pursue Academic Excellence: To dedicate your time and efforts to the pursuit of knowledge and research.

Essential Guidelines for Matriculating Students

To ensure a seamless and dignified experience on Wednesday, 28th January, all fresh students must adhere to the following preparatory steps:

1. Registration and Financial Clearance

Participation in the matriculation ceremony is reserved for students who have successfully completed their screening and paid their required tuition and registration fees. Only students with a verified registration status will be permitted to sign the Matriculation Register following the event.

2. Academic Regalia (Gowns)

The academic gown is the mandatory attire for the day.

• Collection: Students should visit their respective Faculty Offices to pay the rental fee and collect their gowns.

• Return Policy: Gowns must be handled with extreme care and returned to the point of collection within the stipulated deadline to avoid late-return penalties or replacement costs.

3. Signing the Register

The most critical administrative act of the day occurs after the ceremony: the signing of the Matriculation Register. This document serves as the permanent record of your admission. Failure to sign this register means your admission remains unofficial, regardless of your attendance at the ceremony.

Information for Parents and Guests

The University is honored to share this milestone with the families of our new students. To ensure your comfort:

• Parking: Follow the instructions of the campus security personnel to designated parking zones near the Convocation Arena.

• Photography: While we encourage capturing these memories, please do not obstruct the official university photographers or the movement of the academic procession.

• Orderliness: Guests are requested to remain seated throughout the ceremony to maintain the solemnity of the academic proceedings.
