In approving the Calendar, Senate noted the prevailing circumstances occasioned by the second
wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to comply with the protocols established for the
control of the spread of the pandemic.
It, therefore, agreed that the 2020/2021 First Semester
lectures will be delivered online. In this regard, students will not be accommodated on campus.
Senate also approved the cancellation of the 2019/2020 session. The next session is, therefore,
renamed 2020/2021 Academic Session. Consequently, students who have been admitted for the
2019/2020 session will now be regarded as the 2020/2021 intakes.
