Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) has announced its Christmas and New Year break schedule for the 2025/2026 academic session. The university Senate approved the closure to allow staff and students to observe the festive period with their families.

- Resumption Date: Friday, January 2, 2026
Academic Considerations
To ensure students can travel safely before the holiday rush, all instructors are required to finish their courses by Thursday, December 18, 2025. This early conclusion of lectures helps prevent road accidents during the holiday exodus and gives students adequate time to make travel arrangements.
Purpose of the Break
The institutional shutdown allows both staff and students to celebrate the Christmas and New Year festivities with their families. The break supports work-life balance and recognizes the importance of holiday observance within the university community.
Important Notice
Students should ensure they complete all outstanding academic obligations before leaving campus and plan to return by the January 2 resumption date to avoid missing any activities at the start of the new year.
