Management of Osun State University (UNIOSUN) led by the Vice-chancellor, Professor Labode Popoola has recently postponed the continuous assessment test for the 2019/2020 harmattan semester scheduled to hold from Wednesday, 10th June due to the hard time that the pandemic has caused people especially our primary stakeholders.

Speaking on the postponement, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Labode Popoola said the management has received series of letters and emails from stakeholders expressing the hardship that the pandemic has really caused them and which has caused the delay in the registration of the students. In view of this, as a student-friendly University, “we hereby postpone the online continuous assessment earlier scheduled to commence on Wednesday, 10th June 2020. The new date for the commencement of the continuous assessment is now Wednesday, 17th June 2020”.

“We believe that the one-week postponement will give students another opportunity to quickly complete their registrations online and prepare for the online continuous assessment.”

“We understand that students are currently going through some financial hard times in purchasing data and connecting with their lecturers. In view of this, the management of UNIOSUN has kick-started plans to provide data for all registered students and gadgets for interested students of the University to be able to access standard educational activities virtually. It is a sacrifice that everyone needs to make and I will advise you to make it so as to graduate at the right time. Our lecturers too are equally sacrificing a whole lot for you to be able to finish in record time” Professor Popoola added.
