Who May Join, and in What Capacity
Eligibility, categories and registration.

Have been part of a graduating class with a recognised designation.
Currently and continuously maintain good and regular standing as a Seventh-day Adventist.
Formally register as a member of the Association. On registration, each member assumes the role of a partial sponsor of the Association.
Others Recognised as Alumni
The Constitution also recognizes as alumni: those who studied at MOUAU for at least one semester and are Seventh-day Adventists or embraced the Adventist faith after graduation; recipients of honorary degrees from MOUAU who adhere to the Adventist faith; and faculty members, staff and employees of MOUAU who identify as Seventh-day Adventists.
The Three Categories
Senior Members
The pioneering individuals of ASF MOUAU from its inception showed unwavering commitment to the Fellowship and, after graduation, actively contributed to its advancement — together with those instrumental in establishing and pioneering the Alumni Association itself. Senior Members must be at least ten years from graduation at the time of conferment. The status is perpetual and is a privileged position based on historical contribution. The Executive Committee determines eligibility, and the honour is conferred at a planned Homecoming. Senior Members are regularly invited to Executive Committee meetings.
Executive Committee Members
Members currently serving in elected positions. Expanded Executive Committee meetings may be convened, to which Senior Members and other notable and significant members of the Association may be invited.
Members
All other individuals affiliated with the Association who are duly registered and in good and regular standing.
Registration
- A one-time registration fee of ₦5,000.00, subject to review by the Executive Committee as circumstances require.
- Monthly dues, designated Association Dues, currently ₦500.00, in an amount determined by the Executive Committee and approved by the general house annually.
- Graduating classes facilitate the registration of their graduands during the final-year send-forth programme, at a subsidized fee determined by the Executive Committee.
Rights and Responsibilities
Members duly registered and in good regular standing have the right to participate in the Association's activities and to access its resources, and every member has a vote at general meetings. Members are responsible for upholding the values of the Association and supporting its mission. The Association affirms a commitment to non-discrimination on the basis of race, gender or ethnic background.
