UNIPORT Warns Students Against Phone Use and Wild Celebrations During Exams

The University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) has issued an important notice to students regarding conduct during and after examinations. The warning addresses phone usage in exam halls and post-exam celebrations.

No Phones in Exam Halls

The university has made it absolutely clear: mobile phones are completely banned from examination halls, whether switched on or off. Students found with phones in the exam venue will face disciplinary action for examination malpractice.

This isn't a new rule, but the university is reinforcing it ahead of the examination period. Don't risk your academic career by bringing your phone into the hall.

Warning to Final Year Students

UNIPORT management has specifically warned final year students against engaging in "wild, uncultured and undisciplined celebrations" after their final examinations. Such behavior will not be tolerated.

Sign-Out Requirements

Final year students must complete a formal defense before officially signing out of the university. Leaving without completing this requirement is considered non-compliance and will attract disciplinary measures.

Consequences for Violations

Students who violate any of these rules will be referred to the Student's Disciplinary Committee and may face:

• Exam malpractice charges for phone violations
• Disciplinary action for inappropriate celebrations
• Penalties for incomplete sign-out procedures

Best Wishes

Despite the stern warnings, the university management wishes all students success in their examinations. The rules exist to maintain academic integrity and campus order.

Stay focused, follow the rules, and give your exams your best effort.
