The University Management has officially scheduled the 2025/2026 Matriculation Ceremony for Friday, 6th February 2026. This formal induction is the final step in the admission process, but eligibility is strictly tied to the completion of all registration formalities. A critical administrative deadline has been set for the production of the official Matriculation Register, which will take place on Tuesday, 3rd February 2026. This register serves as the permanent record of all validly admitted students for the session.
Critical Deadline for Registration
To be included in the ceremony and the official university records, all freshmen must complete their verification and screening processes on or before Monday, 2nd February 2026. This deadline is absolute because the system will automatically pull the names for the register the following morning. Any student who has not successfully generated a formal Matriculation Number by the close of business on Monday will be excluded from the exercise. This exclusion means the individual will not be recognized as a bona fide student for the current academic year.
Administrative Directives
The University has issued a clear directive to all Deans, Heads of Departments (HODs), and faculty officers to ensure that this information is disseminated widely and immediately. These officers are responsible for guiding students through the final stages of their screening to ensure no qualified candidate is left out due to administrative delays. Students are encouraged to visit their respective faculty offices over the next 24 to 48 hours to resolve any pending issues with their documentation or portal status.
Implications of Non-Compliance
The implication of missing this deadline is severe. Participation in the matriculation ceremony is a prerequisite for long-term studentship. Students who fail to generate their numbers and appear in the register will find themselves unable to access certain portal features, including course registration for examinations. The university maintains that the responsibility for ensuring a "cleared" status lies with the individual student, and immediate compliance is required to avoid the automatic forfeiture of admission.
Final Preparation Steps
Affected candidates should immediately log into their student portals to verify that their screening status reads "Cleared" and that a matriculation number has been assigned. If the number is still pending despite the completion of all steps, students should proceed to the ICT center or the Admissions Office with their screening documents for manual verification before the Monday deadline. This proactive approach is the only way to guarantee participation in the upcoming Friday ceremony.
