UNICAL students week runs from Monday 31st May – Sunday 6th, June, 2021.
The theme of the 2021 UNICAL students week is; “Religion and Ethnicity: The Cause of National Insecurity and Disunity.” The event is organized by Office of the Vice President, Students Union Government, University of Calabar.
The student week is one week students of the University of Calabar look forward to each second semester. For some, they want to participate in the activities.
While for many others, they just want to travel home and re-enforce. Moreover, the student week usually come at the middle of second semester where the reserves of most students have depleted.
And for most students, its a time to recover or cover grounds in their studies. After all, a week of no lectures give you enough room to put in the hours into studies.
Le me repeat that in italics: the students week is lecture free.
By the way, we recently wrote a blog showing you the full list of accredited courses in UNICAL for 2021/2022. And just in case you want to know second semester exam date or when next session is starting, here is the full UNICAL academic calendar for 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 session.
