EDITORIAL: Now That Matriculation Is Over — It’s Time to Get Serious with Academics.
With the matriculation ceremony of the University of Port Harcourt now concluded, and all registrations, orientations, and formalities behind us, a new chapter officially begins for students — especially the freshers. This phase is no longer about getting admitted, finding lecture halls, or settling into campus life. It is about focus, discipline, and academic excellence.
Examinations may still seem far away, but the truth is: exam preparation starts from the very first lecture. Every class attended, every note taken, every assignment submitted, and every tutorial participated in contributes to how prepared a student will be when exams finally arrive. Waiting until a few weeks to exams before becoming serious often leads to stress, panic, and poor performance.
For freshers, this is a crucial foundation stage. Your first-year GPA sets the tone for your entire academic journey. Starting strong gives you confidence, motivation, and flexibility. A good GPA opens doors — from scholarships and academic recognition to leadership opportunities and postgraduate prospects. On the other hand, a weak start can be difficult to recover from and may affect your academic standing throughout your stay in the university.
Now is the time to develop good study habits:
* Attend lectures consistently.
* Review your notes daily.
* Ask questions when confused.
* Form productive study groups.
* Stay organized and manage your time wisely.
Beyond reading, students must also learn to balance academics with social life. While making friends, exploring campus, and participating in activities are important, academics should remain the top priority. Uniport offers a vibrant environment, but success comes to those who can combine enjoyment with responsibility.
As the semester progresses, let every student adopt a mindset of excellence. Preparation, consistency, and discipline are the keys. Whether you are a fresher or a returning student, remember: your future is being shaped daily by the choices you make now.
Start strong. Stay focused. Aim high. Your GPA — and your future — will thank you.
