IAUE Resumption Date 2026/2027 Academic Session | Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rumuolumeni Resumption Date
Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE), Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt, is currently working through its 2026/2027 admission cycle, and students are already asking about the resumption date. Here’s what’s confirmed so far, along with the pattern the university has followed in its most recent sessions.
Note: IAUE’s Senate typically approves resumption dates a few months ahead, so treat any figure not sourced from the official university website with caution dates can shift due to admission timelines, screening exercises, or state-level directives.
Where Things Stand for 2026/2027
IAUE’s 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry registration portal opened Monday, May 18, 2026, and closed Sunday, June 14, 2026, for candidates who scored 150 and above in UTME. The screening exercise itself is being run in a hybrid format, combining O’level/A’level verification, data screening, ranking, and biometric validation at the Rumuolumeni campus, with exact screening dates to be announced separately. A full Senate-approved academic calendar specifying the exact resumption date for 2026/2027 had not been published as of the latest update — this typically follows once screening, admission list release, and registration are further along.
Resumption Pattern From the Most Recent Session (For Reference)
For the 2025/2026 session, IAUE’s Senate approved that academic activities would begin on Monday, November 10, 2025. Following that:
- Course registration for returning students closed Friday, November 28, 2025
- Fee payment deadline for returning students (first instalment) was set for before January 16, 2026
- Fresh students were required to pay acceptance fees and full tuition ahead of matriculation
What to Expect for 2026/2027
Given that Post-UTME screening for 2026/2027 is still being finalized, resumption for new/fresh students is expected to follow after:
- Screening exercise completion and admission list release
- Acceptance fee payment
- Matriculation and registration
Returning students usually resume on a date set independently by Senate, often tied to when the prior session’s academic activities and result processing wrap up.

A Word of Caution
IAUE has explicitly warned candidates against paying anyone for admission slots, stressing that admission remains free, and has urged applicants to disregard unverified resumption or admission claims circulating on social media. Always confirm dates directly through the university’s official website rather than third-party education blogs.
