The Management of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), in a landmark decision, has approved a formal Amnesty Programme for overstayed students. This initiative is specifically designed to provide a final window for students who have exceeded their maximum residency period to regularize their status and complete their degree requirements.
This amnesty covers the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 academic sessions respectively.
I. PORTAL REACTIVATION AND REGISTRATION
To benefit from this amnesty, affected students must undergo a mandatory administrative reactivation of their academic records.
- Action Required: All concerned students are advised to report to the ICT Unit (Nsukka or Enugu Campus, as applicable) for the manual reactivation of their portal accounts.
- Purpose: Reactivation is essential to enable the portal to accept payments for outstanding tuition and allow for the registration of remaining courses.
- Next Steps: Once the portal is live, students should proceed to generate necessary invoices, make payments, and finalize their course registration online.
II. COMPLIANCE AND GUIDELINES
The University Management emphasizes that this is a time-bound opportunity. Students are urged to take note of the following:
- Strict Adherence: Failure to utilize this amnesty window within the stipulated sessions may result in the permanent forfeiture of studentship.
- Documentation: When visiting the ICT Unit, carry relevant academic documents, including your Admission Letter and evidence of your last registered session, to facilitate a smooth reactivation process.
- Tuition & Fees: All applicable fees for the overstayed period must be settled as directed by the portal upon reactivation.
III. ADMINISTRATIVE ADVISORY
This amnesty is a compassionate concession by the University Senate to ensure that students who faced challenges during their residency can finally graduate. Students are encouraged to prioritize this exercise to avoid last-minute technical congestion at the ICT centers.
Please be guided accordingly and circulate this notice to all affected persons.
CONCLUSION: A SECOND CHANCE AT EXCELLENCE
The University of Nigeria remains committed to the academic success and welfare of its students. This amnesty represents a significant step in ensuring that no student is left behind due to residency constraints.
