- The prescribed ₦1,000 fee will be paid.
- An acknowledgement slip will be generated after successful payment.
- The acknowledgement slip will be presented at the gown collection centre.

Where will matriculation gowns be collected?
Booked gowns will be collected from:
Directorate of Examinations, Admissions and Records
New Campus
Bayero University Kano
Each student must present the acknowledgement slip at the collection point.

It will be generated after successful payment and must be presented when the gown is collected from the Directorate of Examinations, Admissions and Records.

Bookings and collections will therefore depend on availability, with priority given according to the order in which students complete the process.

The stated collection procedure requires each student to present the acknowledgement slip.
A student should therefore generate the slip after payment and take it to the collection centre.
Does online booking guarantee gown collection?
The notice states that gowns are limited and that collection will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Students should complete both the booking and collection early, since delaying collection may affect availability.

After payment, the student should:
