Authorities of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) have released the proposed academic calendar for the first and second semester, 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 academic sessions for undergraduate and postgraduate students.


I am also happy to inform you all that the University Senate on December 30, 2020,unanimously approved a revised Calendar for the remaining of 2019/2020 Academic Year, and also revised 2020/2021 calendar.

The Senate fixed a tentative date for resumption of classes with the hope that Coronavirus pandemic would easen and the Federal Government would direct the reopening of the University.

Due to Coronavirus pandemic, the 2019/2020 academic session which started normally had to be abandoned for lockdown and eventual ASUU strike.

This calendar provides an opportunity to complete the academic year and also catch up on the 2020/2021 Academic Year.

UNIABUJA Academic Calendar Schedule 2019/2020 & 2020/2021 [PROPOSED]
