The Registrar emphasized that the three-week period is crucial for students to ensure they meet all registration requirements before the start of the first semester examinations.

The University has set a strict deadline for registration, with the portal remaining open only until Friday, 20 September 2024.
Saliu made it clear that there would be no further opportunities for fee payment or course registration after this date, stating, “There will be no re-opening of the portal for fee payment or course registration after 20 September 2024.”
Students were also warned that failure to complete their registration by this deadline would result in them being ineligible to sit for their examinations.
“Students who do not register appropriately will not be allowed to write examinations,” the circular asserted.
In compliance with the University’s directives, all students are required to vacate the campus by 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, 31 August 2024.
Also, the halls of residence will remain closed throughout the break, reopening at 12 noon on Friday, 20 September 2024, to allow students to return and prepare for their upcoming exams.
