These are students admitted into the 2024/2025 Academic Session.
The Polytechnic made it clear that attendance at the documentation point is compulsory for both groups. Completing this process is a condition for being recognized as a fully registered student.
Any student who fails to complete the final documentation will be treated as “not fully registered.”
