Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) has officially announced a change in the date for its 2025/2026 matriculation ceremony, a key academic event for newly admitted students across the institution.
The update, released by the university management, is directed at the entire university community, with special emphasis on fresh students preparing to formally join the UNIZIK academic family.
What Changed? Here’s the Latest Update
Originally scheduled for Friday, January 23, 2026, the matriculation ceremony has now been rescheduled.
New Date: Friday, February 13, 2026
Time: 10:00 a.m. prompt
Venue: Various faculties across the university
The management explained that the adjustment was necessary and encouraged all concerned parties to take note of the new schedule.
Important Information for New Students
Unlike a single central venue, the matriculation ceremony will take place across different faculties. This means:
- Each faculty will host its own matriculation ceremony
- Newly admitted students must attend the ceremony at their respective faculties
- Students are advised to confirm their faculty venue ahead of time to avoid confusion
Punctuality is also emphasized, as the ceremony is expected to begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.
What UNIZIK Management Said
In its official notice, the university management expressed regret over any inconvenience the change of date might cause. However, it stressed that the most important update is that the matriculation will now hold on Friday, February 13, 2026, as scheduled across faculties.
The university urged all fresh students to make the necessary arrangements to attend, as matriculation formally confirms their status as bona fide students of UNIZIK.
Why This Matters
Matriculation is not just a ceremony—it is a compulsory academic tradition that officially welcomes new students into the university system. Missing it could have academic implications, making it essential for all newly admitted students to be present.
