The management of Caleb University has officially released the revised academic calendar for the Second Semester of the 2025/2026 academic session, following approval by the Vice-Chancellor, Olalekan Asikhia.

According to the announcement, the First Semester will officially end on Saturday, March 28, 2026, while the Second Semester will begin shortly after, based on level-specific schedules.
The revised calendar is designed to ensure smooth academic operations, proper planning, and adequate preparation for lectures, examinations, and other academic engagements throughout the semester.
100 Level Students
For newly admitted students in the 100 level, the semester will commence later than other levels to allow proper onboarding and adjustment into the university environment.
- Resumption: Tuesday, April 29, 2026
- Examinations Begin: Monday, August 3, 2026

This timeline gives fresh students enough time to settle in, attend lectures, and fully adapt to the academic structure of Caleb University.
