The online registration is simply a platform that enables graduands enter vital details and pay to participate in the Congregation Ceremony as well as pick up certificates for their degrees. Prospective Graduands may use the platform to check their graduation status as well. It is strongly recommended that all graduands register online, whether they intend to participate, or simply pick up their certificates later. 

You are required to check your academic records in good time to ensure that all grades appear, you have satisfied all the requirements of your programme and are therefore eleigible to graduate. You can review the requirements in your College's student handbook and compare to your online academic transcript in this regard. If in doubt about your eligibility, contact your College Academic Office for guidance.

There are several reasons why your name may be absent from the list after online registration opens. You need to contact the Academic Officer of your College immediately for investigation of the issue and guidance to resolve it. Graduation list will be posted online by the registration start date.  If you check online before then, you will not find your name.

To check eligibity to graduate before the start of online registration, kindly see your College Academic Officer or relevant Departmental Academic Advisor.
