UNIPORT Issues Strict Exam Guidelines for Second Semester of 2024/2025 Session

The University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) has released a memorandum to all students, outlining strict guidelines for the upcoming 2025 examination session.

Issued by Prof. C.C. Wokocha, Dean of Student Affairs, on September 1, 2025, the notice aims to ensure a fair and disciplined examination process.

The university wishes all students success in their exams but has imposed clear rules to maintain integrity. Students are prohibited from bringing phones—whether switched on or off—into the exam hall, with violators facing the Student Disciplinary Committee for exam malpractice. Final-year students are also warned against wild, uncultured, and undisciplined celebrations after their final papers, and signing out without defense is not recognized as a valid process.

Key Guidelines

- Phones, whether switched on or off, are not allowed in the exam hall

- Students caught with phones will face the Student Disciplinary Committee

The memorandum, marked with reference UPH/SA/DEN/040, has been circulated to key university officials, including the Vice Chancellor, DVC Admin, DVC Academic, Registrar, Deans of Faculties, Heads of Departments, Quality Assurance, and the Chief Security Officer. Students are urged to comply to avoid penalties.
