This is to inform all students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) that the school management has officially released the approved academic calendar for the 2025/2026 academic session. The calendar outlines important dates and activities that will guide both new and returning students throughout the academic year.
According to the calendar, the resumption date for all students — both freshers and returning — has been scheduled for Monday, 6th October, 2025. This date marks the official beginning of the new academic session and signals the start of academic and administrative activities across all faculties and departments in the university.
Students are expected to return to campus and complete all necessary registration processes, including course registration, hostel accommodation (if applicable), and clearance procedures for new intakes. Lectures are expected to commence shortly after resumption, so students are advised to prepare accordingly by obtaining their learning materials, organizing their schedules, and making adequate arrangements for their stay on campus.
New students who have recently gained admission into the university are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the school environment, attend the scheduled orientation programs, and take advantage of the support systems available to ease their transition into university life. Returning students, on the other hand, are advised to ensure that all outstanding academic obligations from the previous session are settled before the resumption date.
The management has emphasized the importance of adhering strictly to the academic calendar to avoid unnecessary delays or disruptions in the academic program. All students, parents, and guardians are advised to take note of the resumption date and prepare accordingly for a smooth start to the new academic session.
Further updates regarding registration procedures, lecture timetables, orientation schedules, and other academic activities will be communicated in due course by the appropriate university authorities.
UNIZIK remains committed to delivering quality education and maintaining academic excellence, and students are encouraged to approach the new session with dedication, discipline, and a positive mindset.
