Resumption Date
Academic activities for the second semester resume on Monday, July 21, 2025.
Critical Requirements for Campus Access
ABSU has made it clear that "only bonafide students who have paid their fees and registered their courses will be allowed access to facilities in the University."
This means you cannot access university facilities if you haven't:
- Paid your school fees in full
- Completed course registration for the semester
Attendance Policy: 75% Minimum Required
The university enforces a strict attendance requirement: students must maintain at least 75% attendance at lectures to qualify for semester examinations.
What This Means
- Missing more than 25% of lectures disqualifies you from exams
- Attendance is tracked throughout the semester
- Late resumption reduces your attendance percentage
- No exceptions - this is a Senate policy
Message to Parents, Guardians, and Sponsors
ABSU specifically addressed stakeholders, asking parents, guardians, and sponsors to ensure students comply with these Senate policies:
- Ensure fees are paid before or immediately upon resumption
- Encourage students to register courses promptly
