What the Matriculation Means
Matriculation is the official point where a newly admitted student becomes a recognised member of the college. It involves taking an oath of good conduct, accepting the institution’s rules, and committing to serious study.
The event also gives students a sense of belonging, as they stand together as an incoming class for the first time. Many parents and guardians attend to celebrate and support their wards.

Why the Ceremony Matters
For each student, matriculation goes beyond wearing academic gowns or taking photos. It is a public commitment to learning, discipline, and responsibility in health-related training.
The College of Health Technology Lafia uses the occasion to introduce its values, standards, and expectations. By being present and taking the matriculation oath, students begin their academic journey on a strong, organised foundation.
This marks the real start of their professional path in the health sector.
