The Senate of Bayero University, Kano (BUK), has extended the registration deadline by six weeks for students who sat for the First Semester examinations without completing their fee payments.
This decision was reached during the university’s 418th Senate meeting on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, following a recommendation by the Vice Chancellor.
In a statement issued on Friday, Lamara Garba, the Deputy Registrar and Head of Public Affairs, said the extension, effective from Thursday, November 28, 2024, will give affected students additional time to finalise their registration.
Garba warned that students who fail to pay within the extended period will be required to suspend their studies for the 2023/2024 academic session.
He also disclosed that the Senate has approved a suspension of studies for students who were unable to register or sit for the First Semester exams due to unforeseen circumstances.
“This decision highlights the university’s commitment to supporting students facing financial challenges,” Garba stated.
