STUDENTS’ UNION GOVERNMENT
The University identifies the need for students to organize themselves into a central association known as Student’ Union Government (SUG).
The SUG in the University has three (3) arms- The Executive (Exco), Students’ Representative Council (SRC), and Students’ Judicial Council (SJC). These arms are headed by the President, Speaker and Chief Judge respectively. One of the most important obligations of Student Affairs department is to conduct elections into the various elective offices of the Students Union Government (SUG).

GENERAL AND ACADEMIC REGULATIONS (GAR)
The GAR deal with issues of academic attendance and progress in the University. It defines the general academic conducts of students from cradle to graduation.

STUDENTS DISCIPLINARY REGULATIONS
Nnamdi Azikiwe University is a community of scholars and students dedicated to research, academic excellence, the pursuit and cultivation of knowledge, in all fields of learning and human endeavor. In support of this mission, any student conduct, on or off campus, that threatens or violates this commitment may become a matter for action within the University’s system of student discipline.

The University believes that students must take full responsibility for their own conduct; and that students must also of necessity be guided as to the acceptable conduct expected of them as students. Under certain circumstances, students must also take responsibility for the conduct of a group, or individual members of the group of which they are part. The group may be informal, such as study group, or formal such as a student organization.

The goal of student disciplinary system is to ensure a fair and orderly proceeding on questions of student misconduct. A disciplinary proceeding enjoys neither the advantage nor the limitations inherent in an adversarial proceeding of a court of law. The Students’ Disciplinary Regulation indicates the kind of behavior which are not acceptable, and the action which may be taken as a result by the University. The Students Disciplinary Regulations (SDR) is separate from General and Academic Regulations (GAR) which deal with issues of academic attendance and progress in the University.

PROTECTION OF RIGHT OF STUDENTS
The Students Affairs is committed to sensitization of the students to these regulations and advocating for them as and when necessary. The Department has zero tolerance to intimidation of staff against students or students against each other.
