Each year they're collecting money for ID cards, as for me I didn't receive any ID from Year 1&2 until Three year.
Starting year one I worked tirelessly to get my ID going to campus as early as 7am but to no avail

There are students from the Diploma sector coming to the degree programme year 2, the batch transfer has not been sent and there is no acceptance letter yet for them to be ensure that they are qualified to be in degree year 2 programme.

Some of us transgressing from DIPS are yet to be batched so how are we going to pay our fees.
Another issue to be looked into is our supplies we have paid for it in full yet the university store managers keep telling us different stories since last year. Recently before our matriculation we asked the same question and we were told we will not have it again but sadly enough we paid for these things in full some where even sent out of the exams for a coin left behind so please 😒 convey this info and what can be the precedence decision
