The Academic Staff Association requires all Fourah Bay College students who have not register to do so effective the 26th May 2023.
“This serves to remind and encourage all students (freshmen and continuing alike) who have not registered during the first semester of the 2022/2023 academic year to do so effective now at the Students Section of the Registry, Chemistry Building,” a notice from the university reads.
The Students and Academic Affairs Section is responsible for advising, organizing and coordinating students’ affairs on campus.
They warned students to “Please note that failing to register for the sessions has serious administrative measures on your studentship” and that “The process of registration requires the provision of a student’s sessional result (transcripts) and evidence of payment of fees (receipt).”
Fourah Bay College have several processes that every student should go through to complete their registration. Many students see these processes as slow and time consuming. For that reason, many students fail to complete their registration on time.
However, an encouragement to students to complete their registration is a big step towards creating a student administration relationship.
In the end of the notice the Students and Academic Affairs Section encouraged those recommended applicants from Diplomas and Certificate courses who are challenged at accessing their offer letters, students with registration number issues, students who are yet to receive their sessional results/transcripts, students who failed to matriculate over the past years to report these issues at the students’ section immediately.
The major and key factor that disturb students to register on time is the area of the payment. There are many students who are waiting on students grant in aid scholarships and it is yet to be published.
I am suggesting that the administrative should allow students to register even without payment slips in order to capture the university data. The university will never have the exact database of students if they are not allowed to register without payment. There is no way a student will graduate without his or her complete payment of fees from level one to final. Today you removed the clause of the fees, you will see a huge turn-out of students to register.
