FUTES-IYIN WELCOMES RETURNING STUDENTS AS 2026/2027 ACADEMIC SESSION BEGINS

The Federal University of Technology and Environmental Sciences, Iyin-Ekiti, has scheduled Monday, October 12, for the resumption of returning students for the 2026/2027 academic session. The university’s announcement marks the beginning of another academic period for returning undergraduates as the institution continues to establish its academic calendar and administrative processes. In a circular issued by the Office of the Registrar, the university informed returning 200-level students that registration would run from October 12 to October 23, 2026. The institution also announced a late-registration window from October 26 to October 30, with a penalty applicable to students who register during that period. The circular stated that the total fee payable by each returning student covered by the notice was ₦226,500. Students were directed to make payments through their respective university portals. The university’s proposed academic calendar indicates that lectures for returning students are scheduled to begin on October 19. The management has also communicated plans for the resumption of fresh students, who are scheduled to begin their session on November 2, 2026. Students are encouraged to review the relevant circulars carefully and confirm the requirements applicable to their levels and programmes. They should also use the institution’s official portal when completing registration and making payments, rather than relying on unofficial agents or personal bank accounts. The start of the academic session is an important period for students, lecturers and administrative staff as they prepare for teaching, registration and other academic activities. For returning students, meeting registration deadlines can help prevent avoidable administrative complications and ensure a smoother transition into the new session. The university’s calendar and official announcements should remain the primary sources of information if there are subsequent changes to the dates or fees.
