Walking into an examination hall without your printed biometric verification and clearance slip can create unnecessary last minute stress, so getting this sorted a few days before your UNIZIK exams begin is well worth the small effort it takes.

What you need before printing
Before attempting to print your slip, ensure your course registration, biometric capture, and any required fee payments for the semester are fully completed and reflected on the portal, since an incomplete step can prevent the slip from generating correctly.
Steps to print your clearance slip
Follow this process a few days ahead of your exams rather than waiting until the last moment, when any unexpected issue leaves little time to fix it.
- Log into your UNIZIK student portal using your registration details.
- Navigate to the examination or biometric clearance section, usually found within your academic records area.
- Confirm your biometric capture status shows as complete before attempting to generate the slip.
- Select the print option, or download the slip as a PDF if a printer is not immediately available.
- Print at least one extra physical copy in case the original gets damaged or misplaced.
If the slip won’t generate
This often points back to an incomplete biometric capture, registration, or outstanding fee. Check all three areas carefully before assuming there is a technical fault with the portal itself that requires outside intervention.
Avoiding a last minute scramble
Build a habit of checking your clearance slip status as soon as your exam timetable is released, rather than waiting until the night before your first paper when there is little time left to fix any gap.
Conclusion
Printing your UNIZIK clearance slip a few days ahead of time, rather than on the morning of your first exam, protects you from an avoidable scramble if generation fails. Confirm your biometric capture, registration, and fees are all settled first, since that resolves the majority of slip generation issues on its own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about this guide
1Can I use a phone screenshot instead of a printed slip?
Most examination halls require a physical printed copy, so avoid relying solely on a digital screenshot unless explicitly permitted.
2What if my biometric capture shows as incomplete?
Visit the designated biometric capture centre on campus as soon as possible to complete this step before your exam date.
3Is there a recommended deadline for printing my slip?
Print well before your first exam date rather than waiting until the morning of, in case any technical issues arise.
4Where can I print if I don’t have access to a printer?
Most campuses have printing services through business centres or the school’s own ICT facilities for a small fee.
5Where do I log in to generate the slip in the first place?
Use UNIZIK’s official student portal at https://unizik.edu.ng, which is the single authoritative source for generating your biometric and exam clearance documents.
6Can I regenerate the slip if I need another copy later?
Yes, the portal typically allows you to regenerate and reprint the slip as many times as needed throughout the exam period.
7What if my biometric details appear mismatched on the slip?
Visit the biometric capture centre promptly to have this corrected, since a mismatch can create complications during identity verification in the exam hall.
8Should I keep a digital copy saved in addition to the printed one?
Yes, keeping both a printed and a saved digital copy gives you a reliable backup if the physical copy is misplaced or damaged on exam morning.
9Can I complete biometric capture at a different campus location?
This depends on your department’s arrangement, so confirm the designated capture centre with your department before assuming any campus location will work.
10Is there a specific time of day when the capture centre is less busy?
Early mornings tend to be quieter than midday, so visiting shortly after the centre opens can help you avoid the longest queues.
