Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado-Ekiti, has published guidelines to help graduands understand the procedures for paying convocation-related charges, collecting academic gowns and obtaining their certificates.
The notice is important to graduates who need to complete their outstanding university obligations before collecting their academic certificates.
Understanding the payment process and required documents can help graduands avoid mistakes, unnecessary delays, and extra costs.
The university’s official website provides instructions for paying certificate, transcript and other related charges through its designated payment system.
Graduands are advised to enter their details correctly and keep their payment receipts for future reference.
EKSU held its 30th convocation ceremonies from 7 to 11 April 2026 for graduates of the 2024/2025 academic session.
The deadlines associated with that ceremony have passed.
Graduands should therefore confirm any new convocation announcement, applicable fees and payment deadlines directly with the university rather than relying on an old notice.
This article explains the EKSU convocation payment procedure, certificate collection requirements, academic gown arrangements, and answers common graduand questions.
EKSU Notice to Graduands on Convocation Fee Payment
Contents
The convocation notice outlines the financial and administrative steps graduates may need to complete before collecting their certificates or participating in convocation activities.
Graduands should first confirm their names on the appropriate graduation list and check whether their university clearance is complete.
The university’s instructions distinguish between payments for certificates, transcripts, academic gowns and other related services.
Graduates should select the correct payment item for their particular needs.
For the latest instructions, visit the official EKSU website or the EKSU student portal.
Important: Do not assume that an amount, deadline or payment item published for an earlier convocation applies to a later ceremony.
Confirm the current requirements before making any payment.
How to Pay EKSU Convocation or Certificate Fees
EKSU publishes an official procedure for certificate, transcript and other related payments through its website and Remita payment system.
Follow the steps below when making an applicable payment.
Step 1: Visit the Official EKSU Website
Open the university’s official website at https://eksu.edu.ng/.
Navigate to the Resources section and select Certificates/Transcripts.
Choose the appropriate payment option for the service you require.
You can also visit the EKSU student portal to access the available certificate and transcript services.
Step 2: Enter Your Matriculation Number
Provide your matriculation number in the field requested by the payment system.
Check the number carefully before proceeding.
Incorrect information may affect the processing of your payment or make it difficult to identify your student record.
Step 3: Provide Your Academic Information
Complete the required fields, which may include:
- Faculty.
- Department and course.
- Programme type, such as regular, part-time, sandwich or postgraduate study.
- Your name as it appears on your Notification of Result.
- Contact telephone number.
- Active email address.
Ensure that the information corresponds with your university records.
Step 4: Select the Correct Payment Item
Choose the payment item that matches the service you need.
Depending on the portal’s available options, these may include certificate, transcript, alumni-related charges, academic gown or other approved services.
Pay particular attention to the graduation year when selecting an academic gown payment item, as the university’s published instructions indicate that this can determine the appropriate selection.
Do not choose an item simply because its name appears similar to the service you require.
Step 5: Generate Your Payment Details
Complete the required verification, including the reCAPTCHA check where displayed, and submit your information.
The system will generate the applicable payment details through Remita.
Review the payment information before proceeding to ensure that the selected service and personal details are correct.
Step 6: Complete Payment
Follow the payment instructions provided by Remita.
The official EKSU guide identifies card payment and payment at a participating bank branch using the generated Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) as available methods.
Use the options presented by the official system and retain the transaction details.
Step 7: Save Your Payment Receipt
After payment, save and print the receipt where possible.
EKSU advises students to provide correct email addresses because payment receipts may be sent to the address supplied during the transaction.
Keep your receipt safe, as you may need it when collecting certificates or requesting transcripts in the future.
For the full procedure, consult the university’s official Examinations and Transcripts payment guide.
EKSU Academic Gown Collection and Return
Academic gowns are part of the formal arrangements for many university convocation ceremonies.
EKSU’s previous convocation notices instructed graduands to collect academic robes through their Faculty Officers or the relevant secretaries of faculties, colleges and programmes.
For the 30th convocation in April 2026, gown collection was scheduled to begin on 7 April 2026, with a return deadline of 17 April 2026.
These dates relate to the completed 2026 ceremony and must not be treated as deadlines for a future convocation.
Graduands preparing for a subsequent ceremony should confirm:
- The date gowns will be available.
- The approved payment amount and payment method.
- The office responsible for issuing the gown.
- The deadline for returning the gown.
- The penalty applicable to damaged, lost or late-returned gowns.
The university’s previous notice stated that damage or loss of an academic robe would attract a penalty fee.
Graduands should confirm the current conditions before collecting their gowns.
Requirements for EKSU Certificate Collection
Graduands who have completed the required clearance and paid the applicable charges may qualify to collect their certificates according to the university’s current arrangements.
The published requirements for certificate collection during the April 2026 convocation included the following documents:
1. Original Statement of Result or Notification of Result
This document helps establish the graduate’s academic record and programme completion.
2. Student Identity Card or Departmental Letter of Identification
Graduands were instructed to provide their student identity card or a departmental letter of identification.
3. Two Recent Passport Photographs
The previous notice included two recent passport photographs among the certificate collection requirements.
4. Evidence of Payment
Graduands should retain evidence of payment for the prescribed charges relevant to their collection.
5. Evidence of University Clearance
Students should confirm that their clearance has been completed and obtain any required evidence.
These documents reflect the published requirements for the previous ceremony.
Graduands should confirm the list applicable to their own collection date, as the university may revise its instructions.
Can EKSU Graduands Collect Their Certificates After Convocation?
Graduands who miss a convocation ceremony or cannot collect their certificates on the scheduled date should contact the university to establish the available collection procedure.
Do not assume that a certificate will automatically be available at a particular office without confirmation.
Visit the official EKSU website and check the certificates and transcripts section for the applicable instructions.
You may also contact the appropriate university office to confirm the documents, fees and collection arrangements required.
Graduates who need a transcript rather than an original certificate should select the transcript service, as the two documents serve different purposes and may involve different procedures.
Important Warnings for EKSU Graduands
EKSU’s published payment guidance warns students against using unauthorised third parties for university payments.
To protect your money and personal information:
- Use the official university website and authorised payment channels.
- Do not share your portal password, ATM card details, or banking OTP with anyone else.
- Confirm the payment item before submitting a transaction.
- Keep your RRR and payment receipt.
- Avoid making payments based on unverified social media messages.
- Confirm current deadlines before travelling to the university.
- Contact EKSU if a payment is successful but does not appear on the portal.
Following these precautions can help prevent payment errors and reduce the risk of fraud.
