AAU Exam Rules, Ban On Wild Jubilation & Campus Conduct
Ambrose Alli University (AAU) Management has sent warm wishes to all students as they begin the second-semester examinations. At the same time, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Mrs Eunice Ebohserhiemen Omozoje, on behalf of the Governing Council, Senate, staff and students, has restated the long-standing rules on conduct before, during and after exams on campus and outside AAU grounds.
Overview of the AAU exam message
A special bulletin, released on Monday 17 November 2025, reminds the university community that:
- The old Senate policy on exam conduct is still active.
- Wild jubilation during or after examinations is banned.
- Students are expected to keep calm and focus on their papers.
The Management wants a safe and peaceful campus while the second-semester examinations are going on.
AAU policy on jubilation during and after exams
The notice restates a clear ban on wild jubilation of any kind, both inside and outside the campus. The rules list acts that are not allowed. These include:
- Pouring water, sand or drinks on students or staff.
- Motor, bike or bicycle parades to mark the end of exams.
- Use of alcohol, loud shouting, hooting, dancing or any act that may lead to disorder or criminal behaviour.
- Playing of loud music or forming crowds around the Administrative Building for celebration.
The Management explains that such actions can lead to loss of property, injury or a break in public peace around the campus.
Sanctions for breaking exam conduct rules
The bulletin warns that any student or group of students who engage in wild jubilation or any of the acts listed in the notice will face serious sanctions.
The sanctions may include:
- Disciplinary measures from the university.
- Cancellation of examinations for those involved.
This part of the message is meant to guide students to act with care while the second-semester exams are taking place.
Why AAU wants a calm and safe exam period
The Management points out that a calm exam period helps:
- Students to read and write their papers without noise.
- Staff on duty to carry out exam work in order and without distraction.
- Security staff to manage movement in and around the campus.
A quiet campus helps every student to focus on revision, arrive early for each paper and leave the halls without fear of rowdy acts.
Official time to celebrate success
Students are advised to keep their joy for the official graduation events. The Management encourages all students to look ahead to the convocation ceremony as the proper time to celebrate:
- Completed courses.
- Final results and awards.
- Time on campus with friends and family.
That formal event is where praise, photos and public celebration take place in a structured way.
Ban on students driving cars into campus
The bulletin also reminds students that the law that stops students from driving cars into the campus is still in place. The rule covers all students:
- Any student who brings a car into the campus is breaking the law.
- Such a student will face punishment as set out in university regulations.
This measure is to keep traffic under control and reduce the risk of accidents around lecture halls and walkways.
Parents, friends and well-wishers during exams
Parents, friends and other well-wishers are advised to stay away from the campus while the second-semester examinations are going on. The aim is to:
- Reduce movement and noise on campus.
- Allow students to move to and from exam halls with less pressure.
- Help staff and security to manage exam centres with ease.
Support can still be given at home or off campus, such as by giving students quiet space to read and rest.
Final note for students sitting exams at AAU
The second-semester examinations are an important step for every student at AAU, and the Management wants a safe, calm and focused season. By obeying the ban on wild jubilation, keeping off car use inside the campus and asking parents and friends to stay away during exams, students help to keep AAU peaceful while they write their papers and move forward to future convocation ceremonies.
