Portal

The University Management wishes to inform that as well as the manual process admission into any of our programmes is also available on-line. This can be made possible through the University website and portal onwww.cuab.edu.ng or ft.cuab.online.
An upgrade of the website is about to commence but our technical team will be doing their utmost to ensure that this does not unduly affect the functions currently available on the current site. Any issues in usage of the portal should be referred to our ICT team on 08062292357 (Mrs. Abikan) or 07066357686 (Mr. Akinmoladun).

Medical Test

The University is at liberty to conduct random pregnancy or drug tests on students across all levels. Any drug that is not prescribed by the University Doctor will not be dispensed to any student on campus.

Smoking and Alcohol Consumption

All forms of smoking, alcoholic consumption or intake of any other harmful substances are prohibited as contained in the Students’ Information Handbook. Any student caught in these acts would compulsorily undergo a drug test after which he shall be summoned by the Student’s Disciplinary Committee and eventually may lead to expulsion from the University, if found guilty of the offence.

Smart Phones

The University prohibition on the use of smart phone on campus still stands except for academic and personal welfare purposes. In the same vein, parents are requested to warn their wards against taking phones into the lecture or examination hall as reported cases of stolen phones may not receive the University authority’s attention other than stiff penalty.

Dress Code

Compliance with the University dress code is a MUST. All students must dress decently and corporately at all times. Persistent failure to adhere strictly may lead to suspension.

Male and Female Students

Male Students MUST tuck-in their shirts and put on covered shoes or sandals, but not slippers. Well-tailored native attire with cap is also permitted. In like manner, female students MUST put on skirts, long enough to reach the ankle, with blouses that cover the elbow, and not tight-fitted or sleeveless. In addition, their hairs must be covered at all times.
However, Management has noted with dismay, the rate at which students now turn Jalabia/Abaya as their dress codes on campus instead of approved English/Native Attire as contained in serial numbers 7. Henceforth, as from 2023/2024 Session, no student is expected to be seen wearing Jalabiya or Abaya on campus except on Fridays. Failure to abide by this directive will attract stiff penalty from the Management.

Identity Card

The wearing of Identity Card remains part of the dress code. Any student found without his/her I.D. Card may attract indefinite suspension.

Student with Children

In case of a child birth shortly or during the course of study, especially with students that have evidence of marriage, adequate arrangements should be made for the care of the child to avoid disruption of academic programme. However, parents are to advise their wards to abstain from all forms of immoral relationships to avoid loosing their studentship.

Hostel Allocation

Allocation of hostel rooms hinge on prevailing University policy of first come, first served basis. Priority may be given to students with health or special needs. In all cases, reservation and allocation must be backed by availability of bed spaces form and 70% of school fees payment.

Please note that all students are to come with two pieces of bed sheets, One Extension Box and 25 litres of yellow keg for reservation of water.

Student will be required to pay an additional N5,000.00 for one portal registration sessionally.

Late Registration
