Thanks for the info…
It was really helpful
I’m happy you found the post helpful.
Thank you. But am surprised and Wondering how 1st semester would just be a month. How’s that possible?
The pleasure is mine. Meanwhile, the semester is longer than that. What you saw was summary. What’s there now is the full academic schedule.
How come other calendars are different from this?
This is UNICAL approved academic calendar.
Thanks for the info….I got a PDF file containing the adjusted academic calendar I taught it was fake but thanks I just confirmed it here ….
I’m happy you found this post helpful. The pleasure is mine.
Thank you! Maxwell for the update .. Pls how authentic is this academic calendar? Because most students are ignorant about the adjustment.
That’s because the university recently adjusted the academic calendar.
