CIRCULAR TO ALL NON-TEACHING STAFF
The Appointments and Promotions (Non-Teaching) Committee, at its 2nd Statutory Meeting held on Thursday, February 6, 2020, observed with concern the spate of applications from members of the non-teaching staff who wants to proceed on further studies on full-time study mode immediately after graduation with first or second degrees in 2019. The Committee considered the matter and decided that:
- Members of staff on full-time employment cannot undertake full-time studies.
- They can only do so under a part-time mode of study.
- Any member of staff who desires to take up full-time studentship can either resign his/her appointment or wait until the relevant Departments mount part-time programmes.
- The Postgraduate School should withdraw the admission offered to staff on full-time mode.
- Any member of staff who undertakes any programme of study utilizing the official time of the University and benefitting from other favours within the University must remain at his/her duty post for a period of at least one (1) year before applying for further studies again.
- Any member of staff given permission to undertake a part-time programme must remain in the service of the University for one year for every year of study.
- Members of staff should request permission for further studies and obtain approval before enrolling for such programmes.
- Possession of additional qualification does not result in automatic upgrading or promotion.
Kindly note the above for immediate strict compliance.
Thank you.
