MATRICULATION AND REGISTRATION PROCEDURES IN THE FACULTY
1. Matriculation
All new students are formally admitted to University at Matriculation. At this ceremony new students must take the Matriculation Oath and sign the register of matriculated students of the University. Nobody may claim to be a student of this University until he has duly completed all matriculation formalities.
2. Registration
All students shall register for their programmes of study in the University at the beginning of each academic year in accordance with the rules made from time to time by the University.
A student shall be deemed not to have registered for his programme of study in one week after the beginning of the session if he has not completed his registration. Only in most unusual circumstances and with the special permission of the Registrar or his representative, will any student be permitted to register after the appointed date. Under no circumstances shall any student other than occasional or postgraduate students, register five weeks after the beginning of the academic year.
The Procedure for registration shall include the following:
Payment of the due fees and other charges;
Careful entry of all information required to be filled in the registration form;
Obtaining thereon the signature of all appropriate University authorities;
Returning the completed Registration Forms to their respective Faculty Officers not later than the closing date appointed for registration;
On–line registration of all courses.
3. Change of Course/Programme of Study
At registration, students must first seek the advice of their Heads of Department regarding the choice/programmes of study in order to avoid frequent and unnecessary changes after registration. Students who have genuine reasons to change courses after the initial registration at the beginning of the session must do so in the prescribed manner not later than two weeks after the last day of registration. For freshmen, no change of course/programmes of study may be permitted five weeks after the beginning of the academic year. However, students may be permitted to add/or delete courses within the first two weeks of the second semester.
A 300-level student will not normally be granted permission to change his/her main programme of study unless his/her academic record justifies such a change.
