Led by the Registrar, the Registry serves as a coordinating force for various departments, aiming for efficiency and optimal performance.
This Office is headed by a Director who is responsible to the Registrar and concerned with the smooth administration of academic programmes in the University. The Office monitors compliance with academic regulations in the University. There are units under the Academic Affairs which help in ensuring academic excellence. These units are:
This is the secretariat to the University Senate.It takes minutes at all meetings and ensures Senate decisions/approvals are implemented promptly. The Unit also serves as secretariat to the Ceremonies Committee which is in charge of arrangements for the Convocation, Congregation as well as Inaugural Lectures.
The Unit is in charge of conduct of all examinations in the University. The Unit also performs other essential functions such as, reproductionof examination questions, supply of examination materials, scheduling and attendance of Faculty Board of Examiners meetings, processing of results for Senate and Vice-Chancellor’s approval, processing of schemes of examination and list of examiners, scheduling of lecture and examinations time-table and implementation of academic misconduct reports after Vice-Chancellor’s approval.
The Unit is responsible for the safekeeping of students’ records and ensuring prompt issuanceof transcript upon request. It is responsible for issuing statements of results for the purpose of NYSC, scholarship approval and other official requests. The need for optimal performance and eradication of e rrors led to the computerisation of records. However, high attention is placed on accuracy of information t hat emanates from the Unit as this is important to avoid jeopardizing the career of ex-students, thus the Unit is headed by administrators of proven track records.
The Office is in charge of admitting eligible candidates in compliance with the National University Commissions standards and quota. The functions of the Admissions Office include; filling vacuum created by the exit of graduating students, attending to general requests on admission issues, conducting post-UTME screening exercise, selection of qualified candidates, screening and registration of admitted candidates, verification of students’ results and confirmation of studentship. With the overwhelming choice of University of Lagos by a good number of UTME applicants and the quality of students the JAMB examination produced, the Management through the Admissions Office introduced the post-UTME screening to help curb the intake of unqualified candidates. This novel idea has since been imitated by other universities.
This Unit prepares Certificates of graduates upon completion of academic requirements and approval of Senate. The Unit also verifies certificates of ex-students upon request from private and public organisations. It is important to note that the Unit has lived up to expectation by ensuring certificates are ready as requested by the regulating body and modalities for collection of the certificates are seamless.
