Ekiti State University has moved against long-standing fee debt on its student portal. The notice below sets out what happens to students who have gone more than a year without clearing their payable fees, and what those students are expected to do next.
The step is administrative rather than disciplinary at first, but the policy behind it carries real weight. Registration is what keeps a studentship alive at EKSU, and a deactivated ledger blocks the very registration that the policy requires.
All students of Ekiti State University (EKSU) are hereby informed that the management of Ekiti State University (EKSU) has observed that many students of the university are still owing school fees for more than two academic sessions.
Consequent to the above, students who owe more than one-year payable fees/charges are hereby informed that in line with the University Policy, they will have their student account ledger deactivated with effect from Monday, October 18, 2021.
For the avoidance of doubt, the University Policy states that any student who fails to register for more than two consecutive semesters without obtaining approval from the appropriate University authority forfeits his/her studentship.
However, all deactivated students with verifiable evidence of payment should approach their Faculty Accountants to update their financial records, following which they will be reactivated on the university portal.
Affected students are, by the content of this notice, advised to do the needful without further delay.
Thank you.
Bode Olofinmuagun,
Head, Directorate of Information & Corporate Affairs.
What a Deactivated EKSU Ledger Means for Your Studentship
If your EKSU account has been deactivated, the route back is documentary. Faculty Accountants are the office named in the notice, and they work from verifiable evidence of payment, so gather your receipts and bank confirmations before going rather than after.
The risk that matters here is not the frozen account but the registration count behind it. Missing more than two consecutive semesters without approval from the appropriate university authority forfeits studentship outright, which is far harder to recover from than a blocked ledger.
Students unsure of their own standing should confirm it with their Faculty Accountant rather than assume the record is correct. Payments made years back do sometimes sit unmatched, and only the accountant can see what the ledger actually shows.
