ONLINE RESULT CHECKING

This is to inform the university community of the administration's readiness to effect the uploading of results online from the 2015/2016 academic session. You will recall that the university administration tried implementing this last academic session but due to some hitches, it was not completed. However, modalities have been put in place to ensure a greater success of the project from this semester. It is thus important that online registration of courses be taken serious by all students of the university as the lists generated from online course registration by lecturers will be used both for admittance into examination halls and for subsequent computing of results.

Also, it is most likely that from this semester, results will no longer be pasted on notice boards as has been the case till date.

Please ensure you register your courses online as well as manually before it's too late. I am not yet sure of a deadline for online registration of course but will let you know as soon as I get a hint on that. Meanwhile, it will not be wise to wait any longer as exams are fast approaching and all online registrations must be completed before then.

HAPPY MATRICULATION TO ALL NEW LIONS AND LIONESSES.

Re: REVISED TIMETABLE OF EVENTS FOR THE 2015/2016 ACADEMIC SESSION 11

Haven made a post on this topic before now (details of the previous
post here: http://www.unnmaxinfo.blogspot.co.ke/2015/12/re-revised-time-table-of-events-for.html?m=1),
I am sending this again to address a controversy that just arose from
the latest post on the university website as regards the topic above.
Please note that the revised timetable is still for post-graduate
students and not undergraduates. The only change in the revised
timetable is on the date for convocation. By the new timetable,
convocation will now hold between Monday, 15th and Sunday, 21st 2016.
While matriculation remains Saturday, February 6th, 2016. Also, there
will be a convocation debate in the course of the convocation week.
Details of the debate available here:
http://www.unnmaxinfo.blogspot.co.ke/2016/01/convocation-debate.html?m=1.
While I wish you Happy Matriculation or Happy Convocation, I hope you
will remember to invite me to celebrate with you.

The essence of this debate competition can not be overemphasized as
this would help our students grow and develop their oratory and
communication skills so as to meet up with the world standard and also
compete favourably with scholars from around the globe.

After much deliberations by the convocation debate subcommittee, the
topic: "UNIVERSITY EDUCATION SHOULD BE SKILL BASED RATHER THAN
COGNITIVE DRIVEN" has been chosen. Debaters are meant to speak for or

as to be chosen to debate on this. Requirements include;
1. NAME
2. ADDRESS
3. FACULTY

(A LITTLE BACKGROUND OF
ONESELF)

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE ONGOING NASU STRIKE

You may have observed that members of Non-Academic Staff Union have
been on strike and administrative offices in the university have been
under locks and keys since Monday, 18th January, 2016. However, you
may not know the following facts about the ongoing strike. Sit back,
relax and read carefully as I take you through the chilling facts.
1. The strike is embarked upon by the UNN Chapter of the Union. This
means that only UNN is affected by the ongoing strike. A non-academic
staff interviewed on the issue said it is due to issues its members
have tabled before the university administration for a very long time
without any favourable response. The members of the Union embarked on
the strike to press home their demands which is captioned in a
five-point heading which includes documentation, salary increase among
others.
2. Due to the strike, offices like the Student Affairs Department,
Departmental General Offices, etc. have not been open since the said
date.
3. This is just a warning strike. According to the staff, members of
the Union decided to embark on the warning strike to give room for
other bodies and associations who may want to come into the situation
in the interest of the students and the university community. He also
said that the strike is the cause of water scarcity which is gradually
spreading its effect on campus.
4. Things may get worse. If no good response is got from the
university authority, members of the Union plan to stop the
circulation of water and supply of power within the university
community. According to our source this will be the beginning of many
other steps which will be taken in their efforts to ground academic
and non-academic activities within the university community.
5. The warning strike will last for seven days after which, if nothing
is done about their demands by the university administration, they
will shut down the school completely.

THE NEED FOR ACTION
The Union, therefore calls on all unions and associations which have
the interest of the students at heart to wade into the matter as a
full-blown strike will definitely interrupt academic and non-academic
activities within the university community.
