MAKERERE University has not yet admitted private students, four weeks to the opening of the academic year.
The admissions board will soon sit to admit students for the diploma scheme, while the direct entrants from A’Level will be admitted next week, an official of the academic registrar’s office said.
The university’s academic timetable, however, indicates that students should have been admitted by the end of June so that they have six weeks to prepare.
A reliable source said the process delayed because the National Council for Higher Education had not yet approved some of the courses which were advertised last month.
The academic registrar, Olal Odur, last month said the university had introduced 12 new degree programmes.
They include bachelors of science in accounting, travel and tourism management, real estate and business management, transport and logistics management, science in marketing, science in computer engineering, and science in software engineering and information systems.
“We are on schedule. All students will be admitted by the end of next week. There should be no cause for alarm,†he stated.
