LASU to Scrap Part-time Programmes

Ronke Kehinde/

Ahead of its plans to discontinue all part-time studies by September, the management of Lagos State University, Ojo, has commenced the process of graduating all students engaged in the programme.

In its place, the school plans to establish a distance learning and research institute.

Public Relations Officer of LASU, Mr. Ademola Adekoya, said, in a statement, on Friday, that the university had “processed and graduated over 70 percent of the External System students (part-time students), at both the Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels”.

He also disclosed that the institution has “embarked on the processing of the results of all other categories of students, who may have legitimately completed their course of studies, but are yet to graduate owing to one reason or the other”.

The statement further read: “The university is, therefore, calling on all students of the Lagos State University External System who are yet to graduate to link up with the Directorate of the External System either in person or visit the designated website: http://studentservices.lasu.ng/lasues_makeup/ for registration. The deadline for online registration for the examination is Friday June 16th 2017.”

It added that the External System has concluded arrangements to conduct make-up examinations for all courses yet to be passed by students or students with outstanding/missing results.

The examinations, according to the statement, have been slated to take place on July 8 and 9, for 100, 200 and 300 levels students, while 400 and 500 levels students will write their own examinations on July 15 and 16, at the Main Campus, Ojo.
