UI DLC Academic Calendar/ Interactive Sessions for 2020/2021 session has been announced through the distance learning students email on Friday April 16th.
According the the information passed by the director, on behalf of the Director and UIDLC Management, I wish to commend you for your relentless support for the Centre, in spite of the unexpected turn of events in 2020, which led to the cancellation of the 2019/2020 Academic Session, in order to bridge the gap created by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Your understanding and patience has been unprecedented, and is well appreciated.
Consequent upon the ease of physical restrictions, the 2020/2021 Academic Calendar had to be reviewed by the Centre in a dogged bid to stabilize its academic operations and round off the 2020/2021 session by December, 2021.
