UNIZIK Announces Penalty for Late Course Registration

Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) has issued an advisory to its students regarding timely payment of school fees and course registration for the upcoming semester. The University administration has also imposed a significant penalty for late course registration, highlighting its commitment to ensure a smooth academic process.

Importance of Prompt Payment

Students are being strongly advised to promptly pay their school fees to enable them to register for their courses without any delay. Timely course registration is essential to secure a place in preferred courses and to ensure a smooth flow of the academic calendar.

Deadline for Course Registration

The University administration has announced that course registration will close on the 10th of July, 2023, for all students. This deadline has been set to give the University adequate time to process the registrations and to prepare the academic schedule for the forthcoming semester.

Warning against Procrastination

Students are being urged not to wait until the last minute to complete their course registration. Delayed action may result in various issues such as online traffic on the university’s registration portal, which may further disrupt the process. Early registration is therefore key to avoid such potential challenges.

Penalty for Late Registration

To further enforce the importance of timely course registration, the University administration has introduced a significant penalty. Any student who fails to complete their course registration by the deadline will be required to pay a fine of #25,000. This measure is expected to encourage students to adhere to the deadline and ensure a smooth registration process.

ICT Support

The University has also ensured that help is available for students who encounter any issues with the payment applications. Students can reach out to the ICT officers or chat with them through the link distributed to them. The ICT team is on standby to assist students in resolving any technical issues promptly.

Course Registration Is Mandatory for Exams

In a noteworthy reminder, the University has clarified that students will not be allowed to sit for an exam for any course they have not registered. This emphasizes the importance of course registration in the academic process and the repercussions of non-compliance.

Conclusion

UNIZIK’s approach to the upcoming registration process is clear-cut: students must act promptly and responsibly to avoid the consequences of late registration. The University is thus reiterating its commitment to maintaining an orderly academic process and ensuring its students have the best chance to succeed.
