Students of Caleb University who are planning for the 2025/2026 academic session should take note of the institution’s approved resumption schedule. 

Unlike some universities where all students resume on the same day, Caleb University adopted different resumption dates for students at different levels.

Below we have provided a detailed breakdown of the Caleb University resumption date for the 2025/2026 academic session.

Caleb University Second Semester Resumption Dates By Level

Below is a complete breakdown of the second semester resumption dates for the 2025/2026 academic session:

100 Level Students

Fresh students in their first year of study at Caleb University are required to resume for the Second Semester on Tuesday, April 29, 2026. 

This is notably later than other levels, giving 100 Level students more time to settle, process first semester results, and prepare adequately for the demands of the second semester.

All 100 Level students are advised to report on or before the stipulated date with all necessary academic materials, including textbooks, writing supplies, and any digital access credentials required for e-learning platforms or online course portals on campus.

200 Level Students (SIWES)

Students in 200 Level who are participating in the Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) have a much earlier resumption date. 

They are expected back on campus by Tuesday, April 7, 2026, with examinations commencing on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, and campus exit on Sunday, May 10, 2026.

SIWES students must ensure that all required documentation from their industrial training, including logbooks, employer endorsements, and SIWES reports, is fully completed and ready for submission before the resumption date.

200 Level Students (Non SIWES)

For 200 Level students not participating in SIWES, the resumption date is Friday, April 10, 2026. Their examination period begins on Monday, July 20, 2026, and they are expected to exit campus by Saturday, July 25, 2026.

300 Level Students (SIWES)

Similar to their 200 Level counterparts, 300 Level SIWES students resume on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, with examinations starting on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, and campus exit on Sunday, May 10, 2026.

These students are at a critical stage of their SIWES experience, and the university encourages them to ensure all industrial training requirements are concluded before resumption.

300 Level Students (Non SIWES)

Non SIWES students in 300 Level are to resume on Friday, April 10, 2026, with examinations beginning on Monday, July 20, 2026, and campus exit on Saturday, July 25, 2026.

Final Year Students

Final year students have a resumption date of Monday, April 13, 2026. Given that this is the last semester of their undergraduate programme, they are expected to have all outstanding coursework, project submissions, and departmental clearance requirements sorted ahead of resumption. 

Examinations for final year students begin on Monday, July 27, 2026, and campus exit is on Saturday, August 8, 2026.

Why Are Caleb University Resumption Dates Different?

One important thing students should understand is that Caleb University does not necessarily operate a single resumption date for every level. The university may stagger academic activities based on factors such as:

  1. Students' academic levels

  2. SIWES or industrial training schedules

  3. Examination arrangements

  4. Fresh student activities

  5. Departmental academic requirements

  6. Final year academic activities

This explains why, for example, 200 and 300 Level SIWES students had an earlier second semester resumption date of April 7, while 100 Level students resumed on April 29.

Students should therefore avoid relying solely on another student's resumption date. The correct date is the one applicable to their level and programme.
