The university’s Committee of Provosts, Deans, and Directors had on Monday made some recommendations that were subjected to the approval of the Senate.The Senate, after its sitting approved the committee’s recommendations.

It also cancelled the 2019/2020 academic session and renamed it 2020/2021 academic session.

“At its special meeting held on Monday, 11 January, 2021, the Committee of Provosts, Deans and Directors recommended the proposed academic calendar for 2019/2021 session to Senate for approval.

“It decided that the 2019/2020 academic session be cancelled and the new session now renamed 2020/2021 academic session. The proposed calendar for 2019/2020 be accordingly changed to 2020/2021.

“The university should notify JAMB not to list it in its brochure for 2021/2022 session as candidates who have already registered for UI 2020/2021 Post-UTME would be taken for that session (2021/2022),” the Senate wrote in a statement released after its meeting.

According to the Senate, the decision not to admit undergraduates for the 2021/2022 session, however, exempts postgraduate students and direct entry students from affiliated institutions.It also excludes those seeking admission into the distance learning programme in its centres (DLC).

“However, affiliated institutions, distance learning centre and postgraduate college would be allowed to admit students for the 202O/2021 session,” the Senate added.

it further said that the first semester of 2020/2021 academic season will be held virtually.

The Senate’s announcement comes after JAMB opened its portal to intending applicants seeking admission into universities for the 2021/2022 academic year.

The university’s academic calendar had earlier been disrupted due to the prolonged strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which started in March last year and ended in December 2020.

It is understood that the resumption of academic activities for those already admitted for the renamed 2019/2020 academic session has been scheduled for February 22, 2021.
