Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has given continuing students more time to complete their enrollment for the Autumn 2026 semester. According to an announcement from the university on October 11, 2026, the last date for continuing students to enroll in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) programs has been extended to October 19. The extension applies to students who are already enrolled at the university and are continuing their studies into the Autumn 2026 semester, rather than new applicants. It was granted on the special directions of the Vice Chancellor, according to the university. Students can complete their course registration for the semester through AIOU's CMS Portal. The university has advised students with questions about the enrollment process to reach out through its helpline at 051-111 112 468 or to visit the official website, aiou.edu.pk, for further guidance. AIOU runs some of Pakistan's largest distance-learning programs, and enrollment deadlines of this kind affect a large number of students spread across the country who rely on the open university system to continue their education without attending in-person classes.
