The management of Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State, has reminded students and lecturers of the institution's policy requiring a minimum of 75% attendance at scheduled lectures. The Polytechnic has also confirmed that a quiz will hold on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, as scheduled.

The notice was contained in an internal memorandum issued by the Office of the Registrar on Monday, October 12, 2026, with reference number FPO/RG/273/VOL.II/125.

According to the memo, the reminder is directed at the entire Polytechnic community, and management has resolved to enforce the attendance policy strictly.

FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC OKO 75% LECTURE ATTENDANCE POLICY

Under the institution's policy, students are required to attend at least 75% of all scheduled lectures for each course they register for.

Students who fail to meet this attendance requirement will be barred from sitting for examinations in the affected courses.

The policy also applies to lecturers, who are expected to attend their scheduled classes and deliver lectures according to the approved timetable.

The management emphasised that both students and academic staff must comply with the institution's rules to promote discipline and ensure effective teaching and learning.

DISCIPLINARY ACTION FOR NON-COMPLIANCE

The Polytechnic management has warned that any lecturer or student found violating the attendance policy will face appropriate disciplinary action.

According to the memo, sanctions will be imposed in line with the institution's existing regulations and the Public Service Rules.

Students are therefore advised to attend their lectures regularly, while lecturers are expected to fulfil their teaching responsibilities as scheduled.

FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC OKO QUIZ DATE

The Registrar also reminded students that the scheduled quiz will take place on Tuesday, October 13, 2026.

Lecturers have been directed to ensure the orderly conduct of the exercise.

Students are advised to prepare adequately for the quiz and confirm any course-specific instructions with their lecturers.

ADVICE TO STUDENTS AND LECTURERS

Students should take the 75% attendance requirement seriously and avoid unnecessary absences from lectures. Maintaining the required attendance level is important because failure to meet the threshold may prevent a student from taking the examination for the affected course.

Lecturers should equally ensure that scheduled lectures hold as planned and that the quiz is conducted in an orderly manner.
