AFIT Resumption Date 2025/2026 Academic Session
All undergraduate students got a clear and official notice that the 2025/2026 school year had started. All undergraduate students at the Air Force Institute of Technology were to return on Monday, September 15, 2025, for the start of the 2025/2026 academic year.
This date marked the official return to campus and the start of all instructional activities, including assigning students to hostels, orienting new students, and checking in with returning students.
Resumption at AFIT is not simply about returning to campus. It signals the opening of the entire academic machinery, from the registrar's office to faculty departments, and sets the tone for the months ahead.
Students are expected to arrive punctually and fully prepared, as late resumption can affect registration timelines and attendance records from the very first week of lectures.
AFIT Admission Activities for the Academic Session
While continuing students were busy with coursework, AFIT was also processing applications for the next cohort. For the 2025/2026 school year, a screening test was administered to applicants for the Direct Entry Degree Programme, Pre-HND, or HND.
In January 2026, the school also released an HND Supplementary Admission List for the 2025/2026 Academic Session. This indicated that the school was still processing and admitting students throughout the session.
AFIT's calendar lists admissions and academic activities occurring simultaneously, underscoring the importance of monitoring official channels. The official AFIT website at afit.edu.ng has information about admission lists, screening schedules, and fee payment deadlines.
If you rely on unknown sources, you might miss deadlines or get wrong information. Students who have been accepted should check the portal regularly and respond promptly to all messages regarding their admission.
