The senate, announcing the reopening, had, however given the students some conditions to comply with.

One of the conditions given to them was to visit the university’s website and download the undertaking and indemnity form.

The students were also asked to submit the forms at the various departments and obtain clearance.

According to the statement, students will only be allowed to participate in the 2015/2016 first semester examination as well as gain access into their respective halls of residence on completion of the process.
