UNIABUJA Academic Calendar
My Dear University Community,
I am happy to announce that SBC met on October 18th to review and recommend a proposed 3-year academic Calendar, and I have therefore approved, on behalf of the University Senate, the following Academic Calendar, which comes into effect immediately, and please find a copy also attached for easy download.
The 3-years calendar will be available on the University Main Website. This calendar is built on the UofA’s aspirations for a stable and sacrosanct Academic Calendar which allows enough time for lectures and for sufficient mid-session break for academic staff.
I look forward to seeing you all in the new academic year! Please don’t ever hesitate to contact me if there is any way I can be helpful to you in your academic endeavors.
Abdul-Rasheed

* During Summer or Long Vacation Session, academic departments may offer a rerun of courses in which many students have recorded a fail grade, and where students have indicated a significant interest in retaking during the Long Vacation Session. Lecturers who teach such courses are paid separately from their regular salaries as students are charged a fair cost per credit hour in order to register. Only classes that make a University determined a viable number of registered students are offered otherwise a class that does not make such a number is cancelled, except where a lecturer offers in writing to teach it as a tutored study, which attracts less remuneration to the lecturer.
