Abia State University [ABSU] Vice Chancellor Gives Reasons on the Decision of Two Weeks 50 Percent School Fees Payment and Registration of Courses.

It is no longer news that the Senate of Abia State University gave Students, two weeks to pay 50 percent of their school fees and register their courses, ahead of the first semester Examination. Within this period, academic activities will be suspended, and students are expected to use the window of opportunity to ensure they register their courses.

Since this announcement, there have been different opinions expressed by students, parents, and others, on the propriety or otherwise of such directive, especially in view of the present economic situation in the County.

Some of the opinions were either for lack of proper understanding of the new focus of this administration led by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor E. Uche Ikonne, to ensure every registration and admission process in the University is done online, or probably, for lack of appreciation of the challenges of running a University in these times.

Now, the summary of what the University Management is saying is as follows:

– As a student of ABSU you must register your courses.

– To register your courses, you are expected to pay just 50% of your total fees this semester. If you do not register your courses on line, you will not be able to access your results.

– The reconciliation of results is done as you register your courses and access your results each semester, easing off the challenges that go with manual result reconciliation.

– If you take exams, without registration of your courses, you are building up troubles for yourself, which could keep you from joining your colleagues to graduate and go for service at the duration of your study.

These are measures introduced by the present administration to tackle some of the challenges ABSU students encountered in previous years, whereby a student will complete his course of study, and it will take another one or two years to reconcile the results, after payment of fees arrears. The student suffers at the end of it all.

But presently, course registration is done on line, fees payment on line, and at the pressing of the button, all your results will show, and when transcript are needed, it is also delivered without delay.

This E- registration introduced by the administration among other innovations contributed to the improved ranking of the University to 3rd position among State Universities in the Country, and 45th among the over 200 Universities in the Country.

It is true, things are hard. The same applies everywhere, even in running a University. More so, it is harder, when change is introduced in times like this.
