The Technical University of Kenya (TUK) has announced the resumption date for all students following the conclusion of the recent staff strike that had disrupted academic activities.
In a memo dated Monday, November 10, by the Academic Registrar, Moses Wakoli, the university confirmed that normal learning will resume on Wednesday, November 12.
"Following the end of the industrial action by the University Academic Staff Union (UASU) and the Kenya University Staff Union (KUSU) on Monday 10th November, 2025, the University hereby notifies all students that they are required to resume classes effective Wednesday, 12th November 2025, starting at 7:00 a.m," the memo read.
The university has also released a new schedule to guide learning for the rest of the academic year which has been published on its website.

Additionally, the university has reminded students to meet all administrative obligations before attending classes and examinations.
"All students are required to clear any outstanding fee balances and complete their registration to be eligible for class attendance and examinations," the memo further read.
According to the university, the academic calendar has been slightly adjusted to make up for the time lost during the strike period.
"End-of-semester examinations will commence after twelve (12) weeks of teaching. The 13th week, previously designated for revision, has been removed from the academic calendar," the memo stated.
The Academic Registrar further clarified that the changes have received full approval from the institution’s top academic organ.
"The revised academic calendar, approved by the University Senate, is binding on all diploma and undergraduate students as well as staff. Any alterations must receive prior written approval from the Senate," the memo read.
Finally, for students currently engaged in external programs, the university said they should report back to school next year.
"Students currently participating in industry-based learning will resume classes at the commencement of the Second Semester on February 23, 2026," the memo concluded.
This comes days after the University of Nairobi announced the resumption of academic activities for the 2025/2026 academic year, setting Monday, November 10, 2025, as the official date for students to return to class.
In a notice released on Friday, November 7, the University Senate informed all students who were in session in September 2025 that learning will resume next week, urging them to report promptly.
"The University of Nairobi Senate wishes to inform ALL students who were in session IN SEPTEMBER 2025 that resumption of studies for the 2025/2026 Academic Year is Monday, 10th November 2025. Kindly purpose to resume your studies promptly," read the notice signed by the Academic Registrar.
However, the institution issued a stern warning regarding fee payments, stating that all outstanding balances must be cleared by the resumption date.
"All students are informed that all fee balances are payable at the resumption date," the notice emphasized.
The university further warned that students who fail to settle their fee arrears will be barred from participating in academic activities.
"No student shall be allowed into lectures, examinations, or participate in activities which have not been fully paid for in accordance with Statute XXX," the Academic Registrar stated.
