It is now becoming a tactics in private universities to maintain certain level of students population through minimum lecture attendance requirement. Student that failed the minimum requirements of 75% will spend extra year.
For instance, how can you achieve 75% attendance if you missed I of 3 lectures; 2 of 9 lectures,; 3 of 7 lectures etc.
Parents and students need to be sure of private universities in which the desperation of Nigerian Educational System forced them to send their children for study.
The rate at which students of private universities now get extra academic year and pay additional tuition for none attendance should be looked into by NUC.
I know we feel the problem of private universities is none of the public problem.
Just imagine in a corrupt country like ours, children from poor homes will NEVER get admitted into public university if there are no private ones. Because cost of securing admission will be high .
Government should please look into this matter.

O boy....See eye opener oo. I don't know this type of thing happens there oo. Strategy to extort money from students, Nigerians and wickedness

I think, since they exist a mop up quiz they should also be a mop up attendance for such students. Though I am a strong advocate of students attending lectures, students should also be given a second chance to better their performance.

Stay blessed

what are you talking about. Attendance to lectures isn't optional. It is mandatory, which implies that there must be a cogent reason for missing a lecture. The rules are there on the student handbook. If one feels he can't abide, why accept the admission given in the first instance.

How can you miss 2 of 9 lectures and claim to be a student?

This is not applicable to only private universities but also some federal universities.

If you did not attend up to 65% of lectures in Unilag, the lecturer has the right to bar you from taking his/her exam.

So stop talking gibberish!

omor.
studied medicine and surgery, & in each full session i don't think i ever attended more than 20 classes.
did most of my reading in my lodge with all my text-books.
attending classes is over-rated.
plus i always pick the particular classes to attend depending on how difficult that particular course is.
for example while studying for M.B.B.S, i never missed Biochemistry classes because that was one of the courses that wasn't really self explanatory.
