FUNAAB Resumption Date 2025/2026 Academic Session

Are you planning your return to campus or getting ready to resume as a fresher? Knowing the exact FUNAAB resumption dates helps you stay organised, from travel plans to hostel application and registration.

According to the approved FUNAAB academic calendar for the 2025/2026 session, the university has clearly outlined when both the first and second semesters will begin, alongside registration and lecture timelines. These dates apply to new and returning students across all faculties.

FUNAAB First Semester Resumption

The first semester officially marks the start of the academic session. Returning early helps you avoid late registration penalties and gives you better access to hostel spaces and course registration.

FUNAAB Second Semester Resumption and Timeline

The second semester follows immediately after the school approved break. Activities resume fully once students return to campus.

Physical Clearance for Freshers

If you are resuming at FUNAAB for the first time, physical clearance is a compulsory step you must complete after accepting your admission.

This process usually takes place shortly after resumption and serves as a way for the school to confirm that all the information you submitted online is accurate.

During this exercise, university officials will physically verify your documents to ensure you meet all the requirements for your specific department.

Documents You Must Bring Along

You are expected to come with the originals and at least four photocopies of each of the following documents. It is often helpful to keep these in a clear file folder to stay organised:

• Admission Letters: Both the JAMB Admission Letter (Institution copy) and the FUNAAB Admission Letter.

• O-Level Results: Original certificates or statement of results from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB.

• Birth Certificate: A legal birth certificate or an official Age Declaration.

• Payment Receipts: These include receipts for your acceptance fee, school fees, and any other approved university charges.

• JAMB Result Slip: Your original result slip with your passport photograph.

• State of Origin Certificate: An official letter or certificate from your Local Government Area (LGA) to confirm your state of origin.

• Passport Photographs: At least 8 to 12 recent passport sized photos with a plain background.

What Happens if You Skip Clearance?

It is important to take this exercise seriously. Failure to complete your physical clearance will prevent you from registering for courses, obtaining a matriculation number, or accessing vital student services.

Without a successful clearance, you are not yet considered a full student of the university, which could lead to the loss of your admission.
