First year students that were admitted at both Makerere University and Makerere University Business School might not be satisfied with the programmes awarded.
The Academic Registrar’s office has thus released guidelines on how to adjust from one course or subject to another.
Change of Programme
- Students who wish to change programmes first of all register according to the registration time-table for the programmes and subjects (where applicable) to which originally have been admitted.
- Each student who may wish to change his/her programme/subject is required to pay an application fee of Shs.6,000/= plus the bank charges to banks used by Uganda Revenue Authority.
Change of Subjects
- Students in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Natural Sciences or the College of Education and External Studies may wish to change their subjects.
- Change of Subject will be done online on payment of Shs.6,000/= to banks used by Uganda Revenue Authority.
Students should be aware that changing one subject may result in a change of College. Before students apply to change their programmes, Colleges and Subjects, they are encouraged to seek advice on the cut-off point(s) for programmes, requirements for specific subjects and possible subject combinations.
It is important to note that students transferring to another subject or College without proper authority will be liable to discontinuation from the University.
A student who has been permitted to change his/her programme or subject(s) is issued with a letter stating so, and on receipt of such a letter that student should complete the ACCEPTANCE part and return a copy of each to the Undergraduate Admissions and Records Office, the former College/School and the new College/School.
The change of programme/subjects will be done online from Monday 21st August, 2023 to Thursday 31st August, 2023.
N.B: It is advisable that only those students who meet the cut-off points for the desired programmes may apply.
