The Management of Osun State University (UNIOSUN), through the Directorate of Academic Affairs, has formally ratified the commencement date for the Harmattan Semester Examinations for the 2025/2026 Academic Session. As detailed in a circular signed by the Registrar and Secretary to the Senate, Mrs. Atinuke A. Oguntunde, the examination period is scheduled to begin on Monday, 23rd February, 2026.
This announcement serves as a critical directive for all students across the university's multi-campus system, emphasizing that academic assessment is strictly contingent upon administrative and financial compliance.
Mandatory Eligibility Criteria
To maintain the integrity of the examination process and ensure institutional sustainability, the University Senate has reinforced two primary requirements for all students:
- The 50% Financial Threshold
In accordance with the university’s fee payment structure, all students must have paid at least 50% of their total tuition fees for the current session. This payment is a prerequisite for the generation of examination clearance. - Full Academic Registration
Beyond financial obligations, students are required to have completed all registration formalities on the university portal. This includes:
Course enrollment and validation by Departmental Level Advisers.
Final submission of the registration profile for the Harmattan Semester.
Examination Entry and Verification Protocols
The university has introduced a rigorous verification mechanism to manage entry into examination halls. Students should take note of the following operational measures:
Utilization of Tutorial Lists: Entry into examination venues will be regulated using official tutorial lists. These lists serve as the primary verification tool to ensure that only students who are duly registered and financially cleared are permitted to sit for their papers.
Access Denial: The management has explicitly stated that students who have not met the fee and registration requirements will be denied access to the examination halls.
Urgent Directive to Students
The circular, which has been disseminated to the Acting Dean of Student Affairs, all academic and non-academic staff, and posted across all university notice boards, carries a high level of urgency.
"Students who have yet to make necessary payment and complete their registration are therefore urged to do so without any further delay to avoid being denied access to the examination halls."
Recommended Action Steps:
Immediate Portal Review: Log in to the student portal to verify that your payment status reflects at least 50% and that your course registration status is "Completed."
Bursary Reconciliation: In cases where payments have been made but are not yet reflecting on the portal, students are advised to visit the Bursary Department with their evidence of payment for immediate reconciliation.
Identity Verification: Ensure you have your university ID card and a printed copy of your examination slip ready before the 23rd of February.
Administrative Oversight
By enforcing these measures, UNIOSUN aims to ensure a seamless and organized examination process across all its campuses. The University remains committed to academic excellence while maintaining clear administrative standards for its student body.
