As Makerere University students prepare for the 71st graduation ceremony slated for 17th May, the institution has revealed how much graduands will be paying this year before securing their degrees. According to a statement released by Evarist Bainomugisha, the university bursa, Ugandan/East African graduands will be paying a total of UGX 110,000.
The money will cater for; convocation fees (UGX 10,000), graduation fees (UGX 40,000), certificate fees (UGX 30,000) as well as transcript fees (UGX 30,000). On the other hand, international students will be paying for the same items but at a higher rate. The total graduation fees for international graduands is 481,000, according to the bursa.
The statement further indicates that all PhD graduands will be required to pay an extra UGX 50,000 for the cylinder. Graduands will be required to log in into their students portal in order to pay for the graduation fees.
Following the university’s move to hold a partially virtual graduation ceremony that will see majority of graduands attending the ceremony remotely, the university has not listed graduation gowns on the key requirements. It remains unclear whether graduands will buy gowns from the university or privately.
It should be recalled that Makerere is still on the hunt for another company that will supply graduation gowns following the contract expiry of their previous supplier.
