Federal University of Technology, Babura (FUTB) Matriculation Ceremony 2025
The Federal University of Technology, Babura (FUTB) has officially set the date for its matriculation ceremony for the 2024/2025 academic session. It’s a major milestone for every newly admitted student — and it’s happening on Tuesday, April 29, 2025.
This ceremony is exclusively for all fresh 100-Level and Direct Entry students who just got admitted into the university.
Let’s walk through the key things you need to do, the deadlines you must not miss, and the rules you’ll need to follow — so you don’t run into any avoidable problems.
Pay the Matriculation Fee First
Before you can collect the matriculation gown (which you must wear for the ceremony), there’s a small but important step:
- Matric Fee: ₦1,000
- Where to Pay: Cash Office, Bursary Department
- When to Start Paying: From Tuesday, April 22, 2025
- Note: The fee is non-refundable, so once it’s paid, it’s final.
Gown Collection Timeline
Once you’ve sorted the payment, you’re eligible to collect your gown.
- Collection Starts: Tuesday, April 22, 2025
- Last Day to Collect: Monday, April 28, 2025
- Where to Collect: Academic Office
Make sure you collect your gown within this period. No late pickups allowed.
Complete and Return These Forms
There are two forms every student must fill out and return after the matriculation:
- Matriculation Oath Form
- Release of Academic Gown Form
Both forms, along with your gown, must be submitted to the Academic Office after the ceremony.
Don’t misplace them — they’re part of your student record.
Attendance Is Mandatory
Let’s be clear — you must attend the matriculation. It’s not optional, and there are no exceptions.
All newly admitted students are expected to be seated and ready on the scheduled date. If you miss it, you could face serious academic consequences later.
Gown Return Deadline & Penalty Rules
After the ceremony, there’s a tight deadline for returning your gown:
- Return Dates: From Tuesday, April 29 to Monday, May 5, 2025
If you delay the return beyond this date, you’ll be charged a late return fee. And if the gown gets damaged or goes missing, you’ll have to cover the full replacement cost.
So, keep the gown safe, return it on time, and avoid extra charges.
