The Directorate of Sandwich Degree Programme, Lagos State University (LASU), has officially announced the schedule for its Orientation and Matriculation Ceremonies for newly admitted Sandwich students for the 2025 Modular Year.

These important academic events are designed to formally welcome new students into the university system while equipping them with the necessary knowledge and guidance to succeed in their academic journey. The ceremonies will take place on the same day and at the same venue, creating a well-structured program that combines both orientation and formal induction into the university.

Orientation Ceremony

The Orientation Ceremony is scheduled to hold in the morning session and will serve as an introduction to the university’s academic environment. During this session, students will be familiarized with the structure, policies, and expectations of the institution.

Date: Friday, 10th April 2026
Venue: Buba Marwa Auditorium, LASU Main Campus, Ojo
Time: 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

This session will feature presentations from key university officials, including representatives from the Directorate of Sandwich Programme and other academic units. Students will receive vital information on course registration, academic guidelines, examination procedures, and student support services. The orientation is also an opportunity for students to ask questions and gain clarity on any aspect of their academic programme.

Matriculation Ceremony

Following the orientation, the Matriculation Ceremony will take place in the afternoon. This is a formal event that signifies the official admission of students into the university. During the ceremony, students will take the matriculation oath, pledging to abide by the rules and regulations of the institution.

The matriculation ceremony is a significant milestone in every student’s academic journey, as it marks the beginning of their official status as bonafide students of the university. Academic gowns are typically worn during this ceremony, and students are expected to conduct themselves in an orderly and respectful manner throughout the proceedings.

Importance of the Ceremonies

Both the orientation and matriculation ceremonies play a crucial role in shaping the experience of newly admitted students. The orientation provides the foundational knowledge needed to navigate university life effectively, while the matriculation formally integrates students into the academic community.

Students will also have the opportunity to connect with fellow classmates, interact with faculty members, and begin building relationships that will support their academic and personal growth throughout their time at the university.

Attendance and Participation

All newly admitted Sandwich students are strongly encouraged to attend and actively participate in both the orientation and matriculation ceremonies. Attendance is not only important for receiving essential academic information but also for fulfilling institutional requirements associated with their admission.

Students are advised to arrive early, adhere to all guidelines provided by the university, and maintain proper decorum during the events. Participation in these ceremonies reflects a student’s readiness to embrace the responsibilities and opportunities that come with being a member of the university community.
The university community warmly welcomes all newly admitted Sandwich students and wishes them a successful and fulfilling academic journey. As proudly echoed in the institution’s slogan: We are LASU, We are Great!
