Getting Ready Before Resumption
Having original and photocopied O-level results, JAMB documents, a birth certificate, and passport photographs ready in advance means registration day moves faster once it finally arrives.
Keeping proof of any fee payment accessible matters, since registration desks commonly ask for it before issuing a matriculation number, course registration slip, or hostel allocation.
Fresh students in particular should confirm their acceptance fee has gone through and keep the receipt somewhere easy to find, rather than assuming the payment is automatically on record.
