FUWUKARI Reschedules Matriculation Ceremony to June 21, 2025
Federal University, Wukari (FUWUKARI) has announced a change in the date for its 2024/2025 Matriculation Ceremony. The event, originally scheduled for May 31, has been moved to June 21, 2025.

Original Date: Saturday, May 31, 2025

Time: To be confirmed (check official channels)
Venue: Prof. Geoffrey Okogbaa Lecture Theatre
Critical Requirement for New Students
FUWUKARI has established an important prerequisite for participation in the matriculation ceremony:
All newly admitted students must complete their course registration before June 21, 2025.
This means:
- You cannot participate in matriculation if you haven't registered for courses
- Course registration must be fully completed, not just initiated
- Payment of registration fees must be confirmed before the ceremony
- This is a hard deadline—no exceptions will be made on ceremony day
What Is Matriculation?
Matriculation is the formal ceremony where newly admitted students officially become members of the university community. During the ceremony:
- Students take the matriculation oath pledging to uphold university rules
- You receive your matriculation number (your official student ID)
- The Vice-Chancellor formally admits you as a bonafide student
- You're welcomed into the university's academic and social community
Matriculation is not optional—it's a mandatory requirement for all new students.
Why the Reschedule?
While FUWUKARI didn't specify the reason for rescheduling, common causes for such changes include:
- Allowing more time for students to complete registration
- Scheduling conflicts with important university events
- Infrastructure or logistical preparations needing more time
- Academic calendar adjustments
The three-week delay (May 31 → June 21) provides additional time for new students to finalize their admission processes.
