Is it compulsory at Covenant University to wear corporate shirts and trousers?

Yes, the answer is yes. Covenant University requires students to wear corporate clothes to class and Chapel services, but they are permitted to wear casual clothing at other times. Jeans are not permitted on campus. The same is true for clothing that does not adequately cover the body.

3. On Communication

Phones are prohibited at Covenant University, but this does not preclude the use of other devices.

9. On Mentorship & Networking

Is it possible for me to establish connections at Covenant University?

Covenant University offers students the opportunity to interact with industry professionals through seminars and town and gown events, where a professional in your field of study will come to talk to you about what is going on in your profession and how you may go ahead as a student. Covenant University also hosts events for corporations to meet and connect with students, to hire them possibly; an example is the career fair.

10. On Exeats

Can I leave the campus if I want to?

You cannot leave the campus without an exeat as a student, just like the way a corps member cannot leave the NYSC orientation camp without an exeat. An exeat is similar to a permission slip that is only granted if you have legitimate reasons to leave school. All you have to do is to make an application and you’re granted an exeat upon review.
