Important Notice: Requirements and Steps for Collection of Matriculation Gown at Ebonyi State University
As the matriculation ceremony approaches, newly admitted students of Ebonyi State University (EBSU) are advised to take note of the official requirements and procedures for the collection of matriculation gowns.
This information is crucial for all freshers to ensure a smooth and stress-free matriculation process.
Approved Requirements for Collection of Matriculation Gown
Students are required to present any one of the following documents as evidence of admission:
- School Fees Payment Receipt (Remita or Original Receipt)
- Acceptance Fee Payment Receipt
- EBSU Admission Letter
- JAMB Admission Letter
- Faculty or Departmental Dues Receipt
Important Clarification
The truth is that any of the listed documents can serve as a valid means for collecting the matriculation gown.
Students are not strictly required to have paid school fees before collecting the gown. This is because some admitted students may still be in the process of paying their acceptance or school fees.
What truly matters is proof of admission into the university. This is why the JAMB Admission Letter remains one of the key and most important requirements for gown collection.
Special Note for Some Faculties
For certain faculties, students may be required to present:
- Faculty Dues Receipt
- Departmental Dues Receipt
Students are encouraged to pay these dues either:
- Through their Faculty President (where applicable), or
- Directly at the EBSU Microfinance Bank located at CAS.
Ensure you confirm the exact requirement applicable to your faculty before proceeding.
Steps to Follow for Gown Collection
To avoid confusion, carefully follow these steps:
- Prepare your document — This can be your School Fees Receipt, Acceptance Fee Receipt, EBSU Admission Letter, or JAMB Admission Letter.
- Visit your Faculty Officer or Faculty President for proper direction.
- You will then be directed to your department for the actual collection of the matriculation gown.
- During collection, you are required to drop the document used as evidence with your department.
- After the matriculation ceremony, you are expected to return the gown within five (5) days.
- Failure to return the gown within the stipulated period will attract a fine.
Final Advice to Fresh Students
Ensure all necessary dues are settled where required, keep your documents safe, and follow instructions from your faculty and department carefully to avoid last-minute issues.
Matriculation marks the beginning of your academic journey in the university. Do not allow small oversights to disrupt this important milestone.
Congratulations to all freshers!
Happy Matriculation and welcome officially to EBSU. 💙🙌
