Federal University Gusau has reiterated its ban on signing out ceremonies and passing out parades for all students. The university emphasized that this prohibition remains in effect.
The university prohibits all forms of signing out activities, commonly known as passing out parades. These are ceremonies where graduating students celebrate their final days on campus, often involving processions, photographs in matching outfits, and campus tours.
FUGUS management emphasizes that "degrees are awarded based on Character and Learning." Students who violate university rules and regulations face appropriate sanctions determined by university management.
Students found organizing or participating in passing out parades will be sanctioned. The specific penalties depend on the university management's decision, but could include:
Graduating Students: Celebrate your achievement through approved university channels. Attend your convocation ceremony officially. Take graduation photos with family and friends off-campus if desired, but avoid organized parades on university grounds.
All Students: Remain law-abiding and comply strictly with university instructions. Focus on your academics and character development rather than activities that could jeopardize your studentship.
You can still mark your graduation meaningfully:
The goal is to celebrate your achievement without violating university regulations. Don't risk your degree or create disciplinary issues at the end of your academic journey.
