Matriculation

To become a matriculated student of the University of Ibadan, a student must have satisfied the minimum educational requirements for admission to the University. On Matriculation day, every fresh student, formally, signs a declaration to mark his/her provisional admission to the University, and to signify that he/she shall observe  the statutes and regulations of the University as well as obey the directive of the constituted authority of the University. All matriculants are required to be formally dressed (that is, be in complete suit, as well as a costume gown for the matriculation ceremony. According to Senate regulations, no  student,  unless  he/she is matriculated, is allowed to remain in the University after half of the term in which he/she is registered has elapsed.

Use of Matriculation  Numbers

Student records are computerized in the University Computing Centre. For this purpose, each student is assigned a matriculation number upon registration. No official student paper or  document  may be regarded as complete or valid unless it carries the correct matriculation number. Student are strongly advised to know, and to always be definite about their matriculation numbers, as well as use the numbers on all official transactions, including  examination answer scripts and payment of fees.

Once a student has been given a matriculation number, he/she must retain it even if he/she changes his/her faculty or programme of  study. All new students are formally admitted to  the  University  at the Matriculation. At this ceremony, new students must take the Matriculation Oath and sign the register of matriculated students of the University. Nobody may claim to be a student of this University until he/she duly completed all matriculation formalities.

Identity Card

Each registered student of the University, upon payment of a prescribed fee, is issued an official Student Identity  Card  valid for  one session only, or as may be indicated on the card. All persons, while on University property, may be required, for reasonable cause, to identify themselves upon request by any authorized University officials acting in the performance of their duties. Some University facilities e.g. Kenneth Dike Library, are open only  to  students  who are able to show valid identity cards, as well as Library registration card. Students are strongly advised, therefore, to always carry their identity cards with them and to be ready to produce them, on demand.
