The Senate, at its 8th Regular Meeting held on Thursday, 17th July, 2025, expressed serious concern over the poor rate of student resumption for the 2nd Semester of the 2024/2025 Academic Session. It was noted with dismay that many students have deliberately failed to return to campus, even though academic activities commenced over three weeks ago.

As a consequence of this unacceptable disregard for the University's academic calendar, the Senate has taken the following decisions:

1) Cancellation of Mid-Semester Break:

The one-week mid-semester break initially scheduled to hold from Monday, 28th July to Sunday, 3rd August, 2025, has been canceled. This decision is intended to serve as a deterrent and to reinforce strict compliance with the University's academic calendar henceforth.

2) 75% Mandatory Class Attendance:

All students are hereby reminded that only those who attain a minimum of 75% attendance in all registered courses will be eligible to sit for examinations, effective from the 1 semester 2025/2026 academic session. There will be no exceptions to this rule.

Students are strongly advised to take these directives seriously and comply fully
