The academic calendar helps students plan properly by showing when to resume, register, attend lectures, write exams, and go on break. It also allows parents to prepare financially and helps students make early arrangements for hostel accommodation and other academic needs.

The calendar was approved by the University Senate at a special meeting held on July 17, 2025, signed by the Registrar and Secretary to Senate, Dr Titus Adeniyi, and made public on July 25, 2025.
