INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE AND RETURNING STUDENTS

In Preparation for Resumption Babcock University, as an institution, has its identity and uniqueness. Parts of what have contributed to its uniqueness are the appearance and comportment of our students.
We appreciate all our students who uphold the standards of the institution. This is to remind you, as an individual student, that as we resume for the new session, you should avoid those ways of life that can deface our identity and erode the foundation of our uniqueness as an institution. Your embracing the institution’s standard makes you to be unique every time, everywhere and in every situation. As such, refresh your memory with what is contained in the Babcock University Students Handbook, so that you will not forget what is required of you as a student. Here are some of the things you should take note of:

  • Bizarre hair-styles are not allowed.
  • Indecent dressing is discountenanced, hence, skirts and skirts suits must be long enough to cover your knees. Cotton materials are, therefore, strongly recommended rather than jumping or clinging or body hugging materials.
  • Cooking in any form in the halls of residence is disallowed.
  • Loitering and association with opposite sex at wrong place, wrong time and inappropriate manner will not be treated lightly.

Its our prayer that the Almighty God will build you up to be what He intends you to be in order to do what He intends you to do so that you will not have your life messed up. I pray that you will not be a disappointment to God, to yourself, as a person, to your family and to the society at large. It is my prayer that God will empower you to say yes to virtues, say no to vices and carry out every transforming instruction that God sends your way in Jesus name.
