How to Prepare for the ADUSTECH 2025/2026 Academic Session
With the academic calendar now in hand, the next step is to prepare effectively for the demands of the session. Here are essential steps every ADUSTECH student should take:
Register on Time: Freshers and returning students must complete their course registration within the stipulated windows. Late registration may attract penalties or affect academic standing.
Clear Outstanding Fees: School fees, accommodation fees, and any other institutional charges should be settled before the registration deadline. Always retain your receipts as proof of payment.
Obtain Course Materials Early: Identify required textbooks, past question papers, and lecture notes for your courses before lectures begin. Getting ahead of the reading list puts you in a better position academically.
Mark the Continuous Assessment Dates: Both continuous assessments carry high weight in your final score. Block out those dates and begin preparation well in advance rather than leaving revision to the last minute.
Plan for SIWES or SWEP: If your programme requires industrial training, begin sourcing placement opportunities early. Your department's SIWES coordinator can provide a list of approved organisations.
