Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Resumption Date for 2024/2025 Academic Session

The Senate of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, has finally drawn the curtain on speculation and fixed the dates for the 2024/2025 academic session. The decision was taken at its sitting on Thursday, 18 September 2025, laying out a timetable that stretches from arrival days to the end of the Harmattan semester. For students, both new and old, this is the sign to dust off books, repack bags, and prepare for another lap on campus.

The Harmattan semester is mapped out to run through March 2026. It carries 13 weeks of lectures, followed by a revision week, then exams and short breaks. Once that ends, the Rain semester will open on Monday, 30 March 2026.

Final Word

OAU has put the pieces in place for a structured year ahead. For freshers, it is the start of an adventure. For returning students, another chance to continue the race.
