This study examined the influence of online registration on students of University of Uyo, Uyo. In order to realize the objective of the work, four research questions with corresponding hypotheses were formulated. A total of 101 students in the Department of Educational Foundations, Guidance and Counselling were used from a population of 134 to take part in the study through a purposive sampling technique. A questionnaire was used for data collection; and data generated were analysed using the Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. All the hypotheses were rejected. The implication was that online registration has a strong positive relationship with face-to-face interaction of students with faculty members, students’ acquisition of ICT knowledge, additional cost, and the reduction of time. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended among others that all students of the University of Uyo should be well equipped, and that students’ results should also be posted on the net.
