Makerere University has further postponed their 71st Graduation Ceremony dates, Campus Bee has learnt. This is the second time the university is postponing the ceremony after initially moving it from March, 2021.
Uganda’s premier university had earlier set March 16th-19th for the graduation, but the university senate decided to postpone it to May 10 -14th because some students’ exam marks were not ready.
However, in an interview with KFM, Vice-Chancellor Prof Barnabas Nawangwe says the graduation will not be held on that date because it clashes with that of the swearing-in ceremony.
He says the graduation has now been pushed to May 17th.
The University is slated to graduate over 12,000 students but Prof Nawangwe says just a few will physically attend the function due to covid-19 while others will attend virtually.
