The University of Ibadan has extended the 2024/2025 academic calendar to 13 weeks following disruptions caused by the recent ASUU strike, which began on October 13 and ended on October 23, 2025. The updated academic calendar was released on November 3, 2025, adding two weeks to the original 11-week calendar. This adjustment ensures that teaching, revision, and continuous assessment are completed without compromising academic standards.

According to the updated calendar, academic lectures will run from Monday, August 25, to Friday, November 21, 2025. Following this, GES examinations are scheduled from November 24 to 28, while faculty examinations will take place in phases across different faculties.

The Faculties of Education, Pharmacy, Technology, Law, Agriculture, Renewable Natural Resources, Clinical Sciences, Dentistry, Basic Medical Sciences, Public Health, Environmental Design and Management, Basic Clinical Sciences, and Nursing will hold their exams from December 1 to 12. Thereafter, the Faculties of Arts, Science, Social Sciences, Economics, Management Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine will conduct their examinations from December 15 to 31.

Following these examinations, the processing of results will take place from January 5 to 16, 2026, with Faculty Board of Examiners meetings scheduled from January 19 to 30. Finally, the Senate meetings for the consideration of final and non-final year results will be held from Monday, February 16, to Wednesday, February 18, 2026.
