Academic Year Structure

How the GHU Academic Year Works

GHU operates on a trimester system with three intakes per year. Each intake follows the same structured sequence  from orientation through to examinations and results. This means there is no long wait between applying and starting your studies.

Week 0
Application & Registration

Submit your documents to the admissions office at any GHU campus. Pay registration fee and complete enrolment. Receive your student ID and programme confirmation.

Week 1
Orientation Week

Campus tour, faculty introductions, library induction, Student Union welcome, and academic briefing. All new students are expected to attend.

Weeks 2 – 10
Semester 1 — Teaching & Learning

Regular classes, lectures, seminars, lab sessions, and home assignments. Class discussions and debates form a core part of each week. Students lead their own learning both on and off campus.

Semester 1 Examinations

End-of-semester examinations and assessment submissions. Specific examination timetables are issued by each faculty at least two weeks in advance.

Semester 2 — Teaching & Learning

The second semester follows the same structure — lectures, labs, seminars, assignments, and active student-led learning across all faculties and campuses.

Weeks 23 – 24
Semester 2 Examinations

Final semester examinations and major assessment submissions. Faculty examination timetables are published in advance. Results are processed and released within two weeks of completion.

End of Year
Results, Progression & Graduation
