UNIUYO Announces Second Semester Exam Dates: August 11 Start for Two Sessions

University of Uyo has confirmed that second semester examinations for both 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 academic sessions will commence on Monday, August 11, 2025, as previously scheduled.

Exam Schedule Details

Start Date: Monday, August 11, 2025

Academic Sessions Affected:

• 2023/2024 session (Years 1 and 2)
• 2024/2025 session (Years 1 and 2)

Target Audience: All students and staff in Years 1 and 2 of both sessions

Why Two Sessions Run Concurrently

Nigerian universities occasionally run concurrent academic sessions due to:

• Previous academic disruptions (strikes, pandemics, infrastructure issues)
• Calendar adjustments to normalize academic timelines
• Efforts to catch up students who experienced delays
• Transition periods when implementing new academic calendars

Running exams for both sessions simultaneously helps the university manage its academic calendar more efficiently and reduces overall session duration for affected students.
