To be called a student of a college/university is not just a matter of going through the various registration processes, for it is just a fraction of the whole procedure.



You will hear continuing students say “the school is yet, to recognize you”.


 Yes, the school doesn’t know you as its student, until that recognition is officially acknowledged, in most cases, by the vice chancellor of the school on the day of your matriculation.


Matriculation is that point in time where you have applied and the college/university officially accepts you to be part of its family. This is because you have been confirmed eligible after having gone through all the requisite academic processes, such as; course registration , medical examination, departmental registration, orientation among others.


It is important for you as a newly admitted student to undergo matriculation, a requirement which is the final stage of being pronounced and recognized as a student of that college/university, where for the first time, students have the opportunity to see their Vice Chancellor.


Only matriculated students can attend lectures and enjoy the many advantages that enhance their educational experience and campus life.
More so, only matriculated students’ degree or certificate program requirements won’t change. Once you are admitted, you have a contract with the institution for the program requirements listed in the institution’s catalogue for that academic year. Change in program requirements that are made subsequently will not apply to you, provided that you maintained your matriculation status.
Importantly, only matriculated students are eligible to graduate from a degree or certificate program. Once you are admitted and upon signing a matriculation document or partaking in a matriculation examination, you have a contract with the institution to issue to you the required certificate after successful graduation.
Furthermore, only matriculated students may apply for a financial aid programmes such as the student loan and scholarship programs using the name of the institution. This is because most financial aid programs requires a student to be matriculated (officially recognized as a student).
Eventually, only matriculated students are required to register their courses at the beginning of every semester, upon which they will be examined. You will be able to access your personal profile to monitor your academic progress and you will also be eligible/qualified to access or participate in any academic model or programme organised by the institution.
MATRICULATION IS A TRADITION, HAVE A FEEEEL OF IT………………….
