KSUK Academic Calendar 2025/2026 Academic Session

Below is the approved academic calendar for the 2025/2026 academic session.

First Semester Academic Calendar

The first semester spans approximately 15 weeks of academic activities before examinations commence. Students are expected to complete registration within the designated period to avoid penalties and ensure they are eligible to participate in lectures and examinations.

KSUK Second Semester Academic Calendar 2025/2026

The second semester begins immediately after the first semester break.

The second semester focuses mainly on lectures and examinations without a long mid semester break, making it essential for students to maintain consistent attendance and stay up to date with coursework.

Why the Academic Calendar Matters

It might seem like a simple document, but the academic calendar is one of the most important planning tools a student has during their time at KSUK. It affects travel plans, accommodation arrangements, part time work schedules, and even family visits.

Missing a registration deadline because of an unclear calendar can lead to unnecessary stress, additional fees, or in worse cases, a missed semester.

For parents and guardians, the calendar also offers a way to plan finances around fee payment periods and to know when their wards will be home for breaks such as the Christmas and New Year holiday or the inter semester break in March.

Lecturers and administrative staff also rely on the calendar to plan their own schedules, from setting examination timetables to marking scripts within the stipulated window before faculty and Senate consideration of results.
