The Management has officially approved the commencement of the orientation programme for all 100 Level and Direct Entry students for the 2025/2026 academic session. This event serves as the primary gateway for new students to integrate into the university’s academic and social ecosystem. It is designed to provide essential information regarding campus life, academic regulations, and the various support services available to ensure a successful transition into tertiary education.
Schedule and Attendance Protocols
The orientation flag-off is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 3rd February 2026, at the University Auditorium. The formal proceedings will begin at 11:00 a.m., but all concerned students are required to be seated by 10:30 a.m. strictly. This early arrival is necessary to facilitate an orderly reception for the University Management Team and to ensure the programme starts without delay.
Purpose and Significance
The orientation programme is a mandatory component of the formal induction process. During this session, students will be introduced to the principal officers of the university and receive briefings on the code of conduct, grading systems, and security protocols. For Direct Entry students, the programme is equally vital as it highlights the specific administrative pathways required for those joining the university at an advanced level. Attendance is not optional, as the information shared is fundamental to avoiding common pitfalls during the first year of study.
Expectations of Conduct
Management emphasizes that punctuality and decorum are mandatory throughout the event. Proper conduct is expected as a reflection of the university's core values. Students should view this as their first official engagement with the institution’s leadership and come prepared to engage with the presentations provided. This session often serves as the best opportunity for freshers to ask questions directly to the administrators who oversee their academic journey.
Preparation for New Students
Beyond attending the orientation, freshers are advised to have their provisional admission letters and basic identification ready, as some departments may use this gathering to distribute student handbooks or orientation kits. Following the main event at the auditorium, students should look out for schedules for smaller, faculty-based breakout sessions which typically follow the general flag-off.
