The LASU Resumption Date 2026/2027 is now confirmed, following the release and subsequent revision of Lagos State University’s 2025/2026 academic calendar by Vice-Chancellor Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, on behalf of the University Senate. LASU’s main campus is located in Ojo, Lagos State.

Current Status of the 2026/2027 Session

LASU’s approved 2025/2026 academic calendar originally set the 2026/2027 session to commence Monday, 6th October 2026. However, following a one-week extension of the 2025/2026 second-semester calendar — approved by the Vice-Chancellor to allow completion of outstanding academic activities — the sessional break was revised to run from Monday, 27th July to Friday, 23rd October 2026, pushing the start of the 2026/2027 academic session to Monday, 26th October 2026.

How the 2025/2026 Session Wound Down

Under the revised second-semester calendar, resumption, registration and lectures for both new and returning students ran from Monday, 2nd March to Friday, 29th May 2026 (13 weeks), with second-semester examinations from 1st to 26th June 2026, and grading/uploading of results from 29th June to 10th July 2026. This followed a first semester that saw new-student registration from 15th September to 3rd October 2025, and resumption, registration and lectures for returning students, alongside commencement of lectures for both new and returning students, from 6th October to 19th December 2025.

How to Stay Updated on the Official Date

Students and parents are advised to rely on LASU’s official website, www.lasu.edu.ng, and its news portal, which publishes Senate-approved academic calendars and any subsequent revisions or extensions directly from the Vice-Chancellor’s office.

Guidance for New Students

Newly admitted students for the 2026/2027 session should expect a process similar to recent sessions: registering online within the announced window, uploading O’Level results (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) and JAMB details to the portal, and completing physical registration and clearance ahead of the commencement of lectures on 26th October 2026, pending any further calendar updates from Senate.

Guidance for Returning Students

Returning students typically resume alongside new students under LASU’s calendar structure, with registration and the commencement of lectures running concurrently, as was the case for the 2025/2026 session.

Factors That Could Affect the Resumption Date

LASU’s own recent history shows that even an already-approved calendar can be revised — the 2025/2026 second semester was extended by one week to allow completion of outstanding academic activities, which in turn pushed back the 2026/2027 start date from 6th to 26th October 2026. Other factors that could affect resumption timing include ASUU industrial action and broader academic calendar directives from Lagos State’s education authorities. Students should watch for any further official revision before finalising travel or accommodation plans.
