The University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) has formally announced the approved registration procedure for all newly admitted Year One students for the ongoing academic session.

The directive, issued by the Office of the Registrar, is addressed to fresh students, university staff, the wider UNICROSS community, and the general public. It clearly outlines the compulsory stages of registration and emphasizes that the process must be completed strictly in the order approved by the university.

Stage One: Full Payment And Confirmation Of School Fees

New students are required to pay the full approved school fees for the academic session and print the online payment receipt.

Following payment, each student must present the printed receipt to the Faculty Finance Officer for official confirmation. This confirmation is mandatory and must not be skipped, as it validates the payment.

Upon confirmation of payment, students are to report to their respective Faculty Officers with the following documents:
    •    Confirmed receipts for school fees and acceptance fees
    •    O’Level certificate(s) or statement of result (originals and four photocopies)
