Rector Charges Students On Use Of e-Library
In a bid to enhance learning activities, students of the Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic (CEAPOLY), have been urged to make effective use of the institution’s library including the electronic library (e-library).
Rector of the institution, Dr Samuel B Kalagbor made the call during his address at the 30th Matriculation Ceremony of the institution, recently.
Kalagbor who noted that the institution was committed to ensuring wholistic excellence in its students’ performance stressed the need for partnership with the management by adjusting to innovative education in line with the realities of today.
Kalagbor revealed that virtual learning and examination facilities have been put in place which he said have assisted the Polytechnic to have uninterrupted lectures and examinations during the 2020/2021 academic session and moreso, during the Covid-19 lockdown.
He charged the students to keep up with the online registration process to facilitate the entire processes as well as the issuance of matriculation numbers and identity cards for fresh students.
Kalagbor said: “In order to strengthen the academic curricular and administrative processes to meet the needs of our students, management had improved on the provision of on-line service, thus all payments by students, sale of admission forms, registration and result management are carried out online. Students are encouraged to register their courses online to facilitate issuance of matriculation numbers and identity cards”.
The Rector further stated that the institution has zero tolerance for social vices, maintaining that management would not hesitate to mete appropriate punishment to culprits with the Examination Malpractice Committee and Students Disciplinary Committee in full swing.
“The institution has zero tolerance for vices ranging from secret cult and related activities, sexual harrasment, indecent dressing, drug abuse, gambling, examination malpractice/misconduct on the part of students and staff. There is the Examination Malpractice Committee and the Students Disciplinary Committee which regulate the activities of students and staff and make appropriate recommendation for consideration and approval”, he said.
Kalagbor continued: “there is ban on sale of ‘handouts’ and unapproved books. Students are, therefore, encouraged to buy books at the approved rates by Academic Board. Students must report any form of victimiaation, harassment or extortion and imposition of books or sale of unapproved books or prices to management for action”.
