ESUT Resumption Date for 2025/2026 Academic Session Announced: The management of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) has released an official memo regarding the resumption of academic activities for the 2025/2026 academic session.
According to the memo signed by the Registrar, Mr. Ambrose G. Ugwu, academic activities for both fresh and continuing students will begin on Monday, 13th October, 2025.
This announcement means that both new and returning students are expected to prepare fully for the commencement of lectures and academic engagements without delay. The university has also directed lecturers to begin teaching immediately upon resumption and to ensure that Continuous Assessment (CA) exercises are conducted promptly since they form part of the semester’s examinations.
Key Takeaways from the ESUT Resumption Notice
1. Resumption Date: All ESUT students are to return on 13th October, 2025 for the First Semester of the new academic session.
2. Immediate Commencement of Lectures: Lecturers are to begin teaching on resumption day, and students are advised to attend classes regularly from the start.
3. Continuous Assessment (CA): Since CA will be part of the First Semester Examinations, students should not expect any delays before assessments begin.
4. Strict Adherence to Calendar: Academic staff have been instructed to follow the approved 2025/2026 academic calendar, ensuring smooth running of the session.
5. Compliance Monitoring: Deans, Directors, and Heads of Departments are tasked with monitoring and ensuring that all directives are strictly followed.
What This Means for Students
Fresh students: You are advised to resume on time to begin your registration, orientation, and lectures. Missing the first week could affect your preparation for CA and examinations.
Returning students: You should plan to arrive early and settle in before lectures officially kick off. Delaying your resumption may cause you to miss vital academic work.
General advice: Since CA exercises will be conducted “timeously,” students should not wait until the examination period to become serious. Every class and test from the start will count.
