Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has released schedule for its upcoming academic cycle, confirming that admissions for the Autumn 2026 semester will open from 1 July 2026, while Spring 2026 semester examinations will begin on 1 September 2026.
The university has also informed students that admit cards and roll number slips will be uploaded by 15 August 2026 ahead of the examination phase.
In its latest update, AIOU advised recently enrolled students to apply for their next semester before the exams of their current semester begin, signaling an overlap between the admission and examination schedule that students will need to manage carefully.
Students seeking clarification or help regarding admissions, exam documents, or semester progression have been asked to contact their nearest regional campus for guidance.
The broader academic calendar shows that Autumn 2026 admissions will run through early September for both Open and Distance Learning and face-to-face programs, with separate timelines for study periods, exams, and result announcements.
