OAU academic calendar for harmattan semster 2024/2025 & 2025/2026 concurrent sessions

The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Academic Calendar for the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 concurrent academic session outlines all academic activities for students throughout the Harmattan and Rain semesters. It provides official dates for resumption, registration, lectures, examinations, breaks, and major university events.

The Harmattan Semester begins in October with fresh students resuming first, followed by returning students. Activities during this semester include orientation, ICT training, course registration, lectures, mid-semester examinations, matriculation, and the main Harmattan semester examinations, which end in early March. The semester also includes holidays such as the Christmas break and concludes with a short semester break.

The Rain Semester starts toward the end of March, with all students resuming and lectures beginning shortly after. This semester covers course registration, lectures, mid-semester examinations, students’ week, and final examinations, which end in July. Post-examination activities include conference marking, SIWES/Teaching Practice, departmental and faculty board meetings, and the consideration of results by Senate.

Overall, the calendar serves as an official guide for planning academic, administrative, and personal activities. It ensures that students and staff are well-informed about the structure, duration, and flow of the academic session from resumption to the end of the school year.
