Re: PAYMENT FOR LAPTOP BEFORE COURSE REGISTRATION

We are not unaware of the delays some students, especially those in first and second year, are having with registering their courses as the university portal demands they pay for laptop before doing so.
You will recall that early this semester we informed you that laptop is now optional and only got those who apply on their own for it. This remains the truth. However, in the heat of the many complaints we got as regards the issue stated above, we made enquiries with the director of ICT/Innovations Unit and he assured us that it is an error and promised to correct it immediately.
On this note we want to plead with as many as made no choice of a laptop during their clearance and registration to nne patient while this error is corrected.
On the other hand, before you raise further alarm against a demand for payment of laptop fee, answer the following questions:
1. Did you pay the first instalment for laptop last session and are yet to pay that of this session?
2. Did you at any time during your registration give a positive response when asked by the portal if you want a laptop?
If your answer to any or both of these is a NO, then relax and wait for the error to be corrected. Otherwise, you have some personal issues to settle.
For those in the first category, you know what is demanded of you. For those in the second, your response shows you want to buy the university laptop and thus, you are required to make payment either in part or in full for it before you can proceeds with your course registration.

We apologize for whatever inconveniences these may or have caused. Please remember that course registration ends in less than two weeks after which late registration with start. It is therefore necessary you make hay while the sun shines.
