40th Matriculation Ceremony, 2013/2014 Session 

1.     General Information

The 40th Matriculation Ceremony of the University of Nigeria will hold on Saturday, March 08,  2014 to admit freshmen formally to full membership of the University. All freshmen are expected to solemnly and publicly make a declaration of loyalty to the University of Nigeria on that day.

 The ceremony will take place in the various faculties at both the Nsukka and Enugu campuses of the University at 10.00a.m.

Full participation in the ceremony is mandatory for all freshmen. It is also mandatory that every matriculated student who is fully cleared will sign the Matriculation Register. Any freshman who fails to participate in the ceremony loses the chance of being formally admitted into the University community.

5.    Conduct at the Matriculation Venues
The Matriculation Ceremony is expected to be of relatively short duration. Matriculating students are therefore, expected to remain in their places all through the ceremony.
They are also advised not to bring any cameras, as taking photographs in the course of proceedings will disrupt the ceremony. Accredited photographers will be in service at various faculty venues.
