FUTA Academic Calendar 2025/2026, full timetable for students

FUTA Academic Calendar, quick overview

The Federal University of Technology, Akure, has rolled out the official academic calendar for the 2025/2026 session. This is the guidebook of dates every undergraduate must note down, from registration to exams and all the breaks in between. Miss a date and you may find yourself playing catch-up, so better to mark them early.

I drifted for a moment before coming back to the details, the calendar is packed, but not too hard to follow.

FUTA Academic Calendar, first semester

The first semester kicks off in November 2025 and runs through March 2026. Here is how the weeks unfold:

• Monday, 17th November 2025 – Registration portal opens
• Sunday, 23rd November 2025 – Online registration begins for undergraduates
• Monday, 24th November 2025 – Arrival of both freshers and returning students
• Monday, 24th November 2025 – Physical registration starts
• Monday, 24th November 2025 – Lectures begin for returning students
• Monday, 24th – Friday, 28th November 2025 – Orientation for new students
• Monday, 4th – Monday, 23rd December 2025 – Late registration period
• Tuesday, 23rd December 2025 – Christmas break begins

First semester summary

• 12 weeks of lectures

A fair balance, though the festive season sits right in the middle, so students may need to switch gears quickly after the break.

Final thoughts

The FUTA calendar is quite packed but predictable, nothing too surprising. For students, the best bet is to keep a personal copy nearby, maybe pinned to the wall or saved on your phone. Exams come faster than one expects and deadlines wait for no one. Better to stay a step ahead.
