LASU Part-Time Student Orientation & Matriculation Schedule - April 2024

The Lagos State University (LASU) is on the cusp of welcoming its new cohort of part-time students with two pivotal events that mark the beginning of their academic journey. Both the orientation programme and the matriculation exercise are designed to integrate students into the university’s lively community, ensuring they have all the information and support needed to kickstart their studies.

Orientation: The Start of Your LASU Journey

Date: Wednesday, 3rd April 2024
Venue: Buba Marwa Auditorium, Main Campus, Ojo, Lagos
Time: 10:00 a.m. prompt

The orientation programme is the first official introduction to life at LASU for part-time students. Scheduled for the 3rd of April 2024, at the Buba Marwa Auditorium, this event is more than just a formality. It’s an essential part of your academic journey, designed to acquaint you with the university’s resources, facilities, and the myriad of opportunities that await. Attendance is not just recommended; it’s crucial. You’ll learn about LASU’s academic expectations, support services, and how to navigate the challenges of part-time studies. Doors open at 10:00 a.m., but you’re expected to be seated by 9:00 a.m., showing your commitment and eagerness to embark on this new phase of your life.

Matriculation: Becoming a Part of LASU

Date: Friday, 5th April 2024
Venue: Buba Marwa Auditorium, main campus, Ojo, Lagos
Time: 10:00 a.m. prompt

Just two days after the orientation, the Matriculation Ceremony on the 5th of April stands as a significant milestone. It’s the moment when you, as a newly admitted part-time student, will officially become a member of the LASU family. Held at the same prestigious venue, the Buba Marwa Auditorium, this ceremony is not only a tradition but a rite of passage. It symbolises your formal entry into higher education and the university’s commitment to supporting your academic and personal development. Like the orientation, the matriculation exercise begins at 10:00 a.m., with attendees expected to be seated an hour earlier.

Why These Events Matter

Participating in the orientation and matriculation exercises is more than fulfilling a requirement; it’s about laying the groundwork for a successful and enriching university experience. These events offer you the chance to:

• Understand the University’s Values: LASU prides itself on excellence, innovation, and community service. The orientation will introduce these core values and how they translate into your daily life as a student.
• Meet Your Peers: Starting university, even on a part-time basis, is a significant transition. These events provide a platform to connect with fellow students, forming friendships and support networks that will last throughout your time at LASU and beyond.
• Familiarise Yourself with Campus Life: Navigating a university campus can be daunting. The orientation gives you a head start, helping you locate important buildings, understand campus resources, and learn about student services and extracurricular activities.

In Closing

The start of your journey at the Lagos State University is a momentous occasion, and the orientation and matriculation exercises are your first steps into this new chapter. Be prompt, be prepared, and be open to the wealth of knowledge and experiences that await. This is not just about attending two events; it’s about embracing the opportunities that your part-time studies at LASU will offer. Welcome to a beginning brimming with possibilities!
