She called on students to take the course (s) Registration Exercise seriously as that is the only condition that qualifies them as Unical students, adding that, those who fail to register before the commencement of examinations should write formally for suspension of studies.

The Vice-Chancellor informed that no supplementary examination will be given to students for the semester except for those with genuine reasons and accordingly advised those having problems registering for their courses after payment of fees to formally notify the office of the Vice Chancellor in writing.
