FUAMB Releases 2025/2026 Academic Calendar: What Every Student Needs to Know
The Federal University of Agriculture, Mubi (FUAMB) has officially released its approved academic calendar for the 2025/2026 session, giving students and staff a clear roadmap for registration, lectures, examinations, holidays and results processing.
The calendar, approved by the Vice-Chancellor on behalf of the University Senate, covers every key academic activity for the first semester — from when students return to campus to when results are finally considered by Senate.
If you are a new or returning FUAMB student, these dates are not optional — they shape your entire academic year.
