The University wishes to inform the parents/guardians and students that resumption of academic activities is at no cost to the students.

However, the University urges parents and guardians to provide appropriate support to enable their wards to participate optimally in the online classes.

The University is already appealing to public-spirited alumni and friends of the Institution to assist some identified indigent students who may need internet-enabled devices for their lectures.

Parents/guardians and students are hereby informed that the University of Lagos shall bear the full cost of data for all student through a specialised Toll-Free Data arrangement during the 3- week examination period.

As part of the University’s drive for inclusive education, adequate provisions have been put in place for the fifty-two (52) visually impaired students and other physically-challenged registered students throughout the lecture and examination period.

The University e-library system shall be fully functional to allow staff and students to use the institution’s Open Access Resources throughout this period.

The University enjoins students who are yet to complete their 2019/2020 first semester course registrations online to seize the window period provided to complete their registrations.
