By Jimmy Jackson
The University of Cross River State at its meeting held on Thursday, April 3, 2025, with security agencies, other government officials and the students representatives in relation to the enforcement of the ‘No Fee, No Examinations’ policy.
In a press release signed by the registrar, Mr Victor Ene, dated April 3, 2025, states that Students who fail to pay their fees will not be allowed to participate in the scheduled examinations.
“However, on completion of payment of their fees before the end of the First Semester Examination and or commencement of the Second Semester 2024/2025 Academic Session, they shall be eligible for supplementary examinations without additional charges.” The statement added.
Meanwhile, Prof. Francisca Bassey, the Acting Vice Chancellor of University has carried out an on-the-spot appraisal of the ongoing 2024/2025 First Semester examination, in the Calabar campus of the University.
Prof. Bassey, express dismay with the low fee-payment status of the students, recalling that 95% of the final year students have not paid their fees.
She warned that any Lecturer or Supervisor who did not comply with the directive of Management to strictly use the authorized list of fee-compliant students in the administration of their examination will be appropriately sanctioned, emphasizing that “due process must be followed.” The Ag VC maintained that all blank spaces found on the students’ answer scripts must be crossed out with red pen by examiners.
The VC appealed for cooperation from all, for the betterment of UNICROSS Community and the state at large, while wishing the students a happy New Month and success in their examination.
