UNICROSS SUG Clarifies Matriculation Status: Ceremony Not Cancelled
The Students' Union Government (SUG) at the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) has issued a press release addressing student concerns about the matriculation ceremony for newly admitted students.
Key Clarification
The matriculation ceremony has NOT been cancelled. A new date will be announced in due course by the university authorities.
About Registration Numbers
The recent issuance of registration numbers to new students is a standard administrative procedure — not a final confirmation of matriculation. This allows students to:
- Complete course registration
- Access academic documentation
- Use university facilities and systems
Fraud Warning
The SUG issued a strong caution to all students:
"No individual or group is authorized to demand payment in exchange for matriculation numbers or any related academic privileges."
- Do not pay anyone claiming to provide matriculation numbers
- Matriculation is strictly an institutional process
- Report anyone demanding illegal fees to the authorities
NELFUND Reminder
Students are encouraged to apply for NELFUND (Nigerian Education Loan Fund) to support their academic journey. Visit the official NELFUND portal to check eligibility and apply.
What to Do Now
- Complete your course registration using your issued registration number
- Wait for the official matriculation date announcement
- Do not make any unauthorized payments
- Apply for NELFUND if you need financial support
