First thing first, congratulations on your admission into UNN. Welcome to the Den a place to restore the dignity of man.

Bikonu, remember to invite me to your matriculation ceremony. I would not want to miss it for anything.

In this post, I have also included necessary information about payment procedures.

Note: Do not make any payment like school fees or acceptance fee online using your ATM card.

All payments must be at the bank using your generated Remita RRR number.

You will submit the teller receipt during your final year clearance. That is the reason why you must not make payments online.

If you have any question, do let me know in the comment box. I would respond to you as soon as possible.

The first section of this post covers clearance procedures for Medical students. First year clearance for College of Medicine students is a little bit different. It is because their Faculties is not in Nsukka campus.
