FUTA Academic Calendar 2025/2026, full timetable for students
FUTA has released the academic calendar for 2025/2026. The schedule covers lecture dates, breaks, exams, and key activities for all students. Kindly read the full details below.
FUTA Academic Calendar, quick overview
The Federal University of Technology, Akure, has rolled out the official academic calendar for the 2025/2026 session. This is the guidebook of dates every undergraduate must note down, from registration to exams, and all the breaks in between. Miss a date, and you may find yourself playing catch-up, so better to mark them early.
I drifted for a moment before coming back to the details, the calendar is packed, but not too hard to follow.
FUTA Academic Calendar, first semester
The first semester kicks off in November 2025 and runs through March 2026. Here is how the weeks unfold:

First semester summary

Final thoughts
The FUTA calendar is quite packed but predictable, nothing too surprising. For students, the best bet is to keep a personal copy nearby, maybe pinned to the wall or saved on your phone. Exams come faster than one expects, and deadlines wait for no one. Better to stay a step ahead.
