Eligibility to Participate

Students are advised that participation in the ceremony is strictly limited to those who have:

2. Completed registration in their respective Departments.

Only students who meet both criteria will be permitted to take part in the matriculation ceremony.

Distribution of Academic Gowns

Heads of Departments are requested to collect Academic Gowns from the Central Stores for distribution to matriculating students. The gowns will be available for collection from Tuesday, 17th March to Wednesday, 19th March, 2026.

All students eligible to participate in the matriculation ceremony should note that the cost of the academic gown has already been paid. Students are therefore expected to collect their gowns as directed to ensure proper attire during the ceremony.

Matriculation Registers

Following the ceremony, all matriculants are required to sign the Matriculation Registers at the Offices of their respective Deans of Schools. This is an official record of induction into the Polytechnic and must be completed by all participating students.

Important Reminders

• Students must ensure that fees are fully paid and registration completed before the ceremony.

• Heads of Departments are responsible for coordinating the distribution of gowns and ensuring that all matriculants comply with the official dress code.

• Matriculants are expected to conduct themselves with decorum and respect for the traditions and regulations of Akwa Poly throughout the ceremony.

The Management appreciates the cooperation of all staff and students in making this important academic milestone a success and looks forward to a memorable 31st Matriculation Ceremony for the 2025/2026 academic session.
