If you are a student, parent, or prospective candidate of AKUM, one of the most important pieces of information you need right now is the resumption date for the 2025/2026 academic session.
Whether you are a freshly admitted 100 level student, a returning student planning your semester around lecture dates, or a direct entry student who just confirmed your admission, we have covered everything you need below.
AKUM Resumption Date for New Students
For freshmen admitted through UTME into the 2025/2026 academic session, the resumption and registration period runs from Monday, 12 January 2026, to Friday, 6 February 2026, a window of four weeks.
This is the period within which new 100 level students are expected to arrive on campus, complete payment of their school fees, verify their fees at the Faculty Board Room, register their courses on the AKUM student portal, and submit all required documentation to the faculty officer.
Students should note that the acceptance of admission must have been completed on the student portal well before the resumption date.
Any candidate who was offered provisional admission and failed to accept the offer within the stipulated window risked forfeiting their slot, as unclaimed spaces were reassigned to other qualified candidates.
AKUM Resumption Date for Direct Entry Students
Direct entry students admitted for the 2025/2026 session have a slightly different timeline. Their resumption and registration period begins on Sunday, 8 February 2026, and runs through to Saturday, 7 March 2026.
This window follows immediately after the 100 level registration window, which helps the university manage the registration load in a phased and orderly manner.
Direct entry students are equally required to confirm their admission, pay school fees, complete fee verification at the designated office, register courses on the portal, and finalise documentation with faculty officers, the same five step process that applies to all new students.
AKUM Resumption Date for Returning Students
Returning students at Abdulkadir Kure University, Minna, resume significantly later than new students in the 2025/2026 session. The registration window for returning students runs from Monday, 30 March 2026 to Saturday, 11 April 2026, a duration of two weeks.
It is during this period that continuing students are expected to settle any outstanding school fees, re-register courses and programmes for the new semester, and update their academic records on the student portal.
Students who had outstanding registration fees from the previous session were advised to resolve them before the examinations, with the university previously setting 2 March 2026 as a key date related to outstanding fee obligations.
AKUM Student Registration Guide for 2025/2026 Newly Admitted Students
Getting the academic calendar right is only one part of the puzzle. New students must also complete a multiple step registration process to be officially recognised as registered students of Abdulkadir Kure University for the 2025/2026 session.
The university's registration guide outlines the following steps:
Confirm your admission at the Admissions Office located in the Faculty of Education (FoE) Building.
Pay your school fees online through the AKUM student portal at students.akum.edu.ng.
Take your evidence of payment to Room H6 (the Faculty Board Room) for payment verification and to settle any other charges.
Register your courses on the AKUM student portal and print out your course registration form.
Return to Room H6 to meet the faculty officer for documentation, file submission, and final clearance.
Students are strongly advised to keep printed copies of every document generated throughout this process. Missing paperwork can cause significant delays or complications later in the session.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: No. AKUM has separate resumption dates for different categories of students. Fresh UTME students, direct entry students, and returning students each have their own reporting schedule as outlined in the university's academic calendar.

A: After arriving on campus, you should complete your registration, pay all approved fees, participate in clearance (if you're a new student), register your courses, and prepare for lectures.
Q: Is it advisable to arrive before the official resumption date?
A: Yes. Arriving early gives you enough time to settle into your accommodation, complete registration, locate lecture venues, and avoid unnecessary delays.
Q: What documents should fresh students bring during resumption?
A: Fresh students should come with their JAMB admission letter, AKUM admission letter, UTME result slip, O-level result, birth certificate or declaration of age, passport photographs, and all payment receipts required for clearance.
