The management of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has officially released a circular announcing the long-awaited resumption date for the 2025/2026 academic session. According to the memo issued from the Office of the Registrar and signed by Mr. Mufutau A. Ibrahim, all undergraduate students of the university are to resume on Monday, 6th October, 2025.
This announcement follows careful planning and internal consultations within the university’s management team. The circular, referenced FUOYE/REG/CIR/18/Vol.3/101 and dated 18th September, 2025, is addressed to every student of the institution. It serves as an official reminder for both new and returning students to prepare adequately for the commencement of a fresh academic year.
Importance of the Announcement
For many students, the release of the official resumption date marks the beginning of a new academic journey. After several weeks of anticipation, the confirmation of 6th October 2025 provides clarity and allows students to plan their travel, accommodation, and finances well in advance.
Parents, guardians, and sponsors can also use this notice to finalize arrangements for tuition payments, hostel bookings, and other logistics. By setting the date nearly three weeks ahead of time, the university ensures that every stakeholder—students, staff, and service providers—has ample opportunity to prepare.
What Students Should Do Before Resumption
-
Registration and Documentation:
Students are advised to gather all necessary documents such as admission letters, course registration forms, and any outstanding fees or receipts. Ensuring that these papers are in order will help avoid delays once the session begins. -
Health and Safety Preparations:
FUOYE emphasizes a safe and healthy learning environment. Returning students should take note of any health requirements, including routine medical checks if needed, and new students should be ready for medical clearance at the university health centre. -
Accommodation Arrangements:
Whether you are staying in the university’s halls of residence or off-campus, now is the time to secure accommodation. The earlier you confirm your housing, the smoother your transition will be when lectures begin. -
Financial Planning:
Tuition, departmental fees, and other charges should be settled before or immediately after arrival. Early payment helps students avoid last-minute queues and penalties.
Key Dates to Remember
-
Monday, 6th October 2025: Official resumption and start of first-semester registration.
-
Two-week registration window: Students should complete all registration activities within the time frame that will be announced by the academic office.

Ibrahim, expressed the university’s commitment to a smooth start of the academic year and urged students to “take note of this and comply accordingly.” His signature on the memo underlines the authenticity of the announcement and assures students that the date is final, barring unforeseen circumstances.
