UPDATE ON PAYMENT OF ACCEPTANCE AND OTHER FEES!!!

Below is an update from the university portal on payment on Acceptance
and other Fees by new students. Below this official announcement is my
candid advice and opinion based on experience both as a student and a
manager of electronic information of the Student Union. I will
therefore advise you read carefully to the end even if you already
know that the payment has been reactivated. Enjoy!!!

"The payment of acceptance fees for the freshmen is now activated!
Consequently all new students can go ahead and pay their acceptance
and fees.
Below is the process for the new students to get on with their new
academic experience:

1. Print out your name from the admission list published on the Website.
2. Verify your account on the portal unn.edu.ng
3. Change your password.
4. Complete and submit your profile on the portal.
5. Generate payment invoice for acceptance fee
6. Proceed to the bank to pay the acceptance fee
7. Proceed back to the portal and print your acceptance fee receipt
and acceptance letter
8. Generate payment invoice for other fees – (school fees,
accommodation fees, laptop fees (for first years), etc.)
9. Proceed to the bank to pay the fees at the bank
10. Proceed back to the portal and print your receipts
11. Proceed to Ekpo Ref for clearance by Admissions Office/Faculty
officer with all relevant receipts and Certificates
12. Get assigned with Matriculation number by the Faculty Officer
13. Do your Biometric capturing also at Ekpo Ref.
14. Collect your Laptop from ICT Hardware Team
15. Log on to your profile and register your Courses online
16. Get your Student Identity card from ICT at Obieri Computing Centre
17. Keep copies of all your printouts from the website and the portal
for future references!
Enjoy your stay"

NOW MY ADVICE:
1. On step 5:
I know most of you have generated invoice already before now after
updating your profile. I want to plead with you to go back to the
portal to generate a new invoice for this purpose. Some who have this
old invoice affirmed that it bore 2014/2015 Academic Session instead
of 2015/2016. Please do well to regenerate your invoice and crosscheck
carefully the information on it.
Also, ensure that the invoice number is entered correctly at the bank
when you go to make payment.
2. On steps 6 and 7, 9 and 10:
There is nothing like the usual "confirmation order number" on the
instruction above. Usually, it is the confirmation order number that
you log in with on the portal to enable you print your acceptance fee
receipt and your admission letter. Thus, I am not yet sure how this
will play out. I know a number of persons who have waited for this
news will be in a hurry to try out the process. Please be generous
enough to share your experience with us when you do so that others may
be well guided.
3. On step 8:
There is a strong indication by this that the payment for laptops by
first years has been separated from the school fees schedules. Hence,
the instruction says " Generate payment invoice for other fees –
(school fees, accommodation fees, laptop fees (for first years),
etc.)". This may mean that you will have to generate a separate
invoice each for school fees, laptop fees, accommodation fees (this is
not unusual), etc.
I am sure you will want to know what the "etc." stands for. Sincerely
I do not have an answer to that yet but I promise to keep you informed
as it unfolds.
4. On step 11 to 16:
These are things you will have to do when you come to the university
for your clearance. Every step before these may be done in or outside
the university campus. Thus, it is important you start reporting to
campus as soon as you can. Through his press briefing released this
morning, the Pesident of the Student Union Government, Comr. Orji
Peter Ekene, reaffirmed the validity of the 29th OCTOBER resumption
date. I therefore need not dwell on it. However, I regret whatever
inconveniences you might have experienced while the confusion lasted.
We promised to give you our best and we are doing our best to ensure
that.

ON PAYMENT OF SCHOOL AND OTHER FEES BY RETURNING STUDENTS:
The university is working hard to stabilize things concerning the
SCHOOL FEES SCHEDULES and subsequent instructions on payment by
returning students. As soon as we get valid wind of this from a very
reliable source, we will inform you. Thus, I have no say concerning
the much touted "School Fees Schedule for the 2015/2016 Academic
Session" on social media. One thing the President of the Union has
assured us through his press briefing last night is that "your school
fees remain as it is, as any form of RUMOR about increment remains
nothing but a rumor."
