The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has announced a revision to its 2025/2026 Academic Calendar, specifically affecting the Orientation and Matriculation ceremonies for newly admitted students.
In a circular issued on Monday, 15th December 2025, the Registrar, Mr. Ademola A. Bobola, noted that while the academic session commenced as scheduled on 10th November 2025, a significant number of new students have yet to complete their clearance processes.
To accommodate these students and in consideration of the festive season, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Edoba B. Omoregie, SAN, on behalf of the Senate, approved the rescheduling of the events.
The new dates are:
- Orientation Programme: Monday, 26th January 2026
- Matriculation Programme: Wednesday, 28th January 2026
The ceremonies were originally slated for 17th and 19th December 2025. The University has directed all Deans, Directors, staff, students, parents, guardians, and stakeholders to take note of the changes for compliance.
Academic activities, including lectures, will continue as scheduled across all departments.
