Every student admitted to Makerere University will go through the registration process. The process is in two categories namely college-based registration and self-registration.
College-based Registration:
The first type of registration is done by the respective college registrar and is a manual process. At this stage, the student’s details such as date of birth, and nationality are verified manually. The dates for this process are always communicated at the college level.
Self-registration and Enrolment
Students must enroll for each academic semester, this is done by an individual through the student portal.
After enrolling for a semester, a student then registers for the different course units to do in the particular semester. This is also done by the individual through their student portal account.
Self registration has different categories depending upon the candidate’s status. I can be as;
- Continuing student: – This option is for the students under normal progress.
- Doing retakes after final year: – This option caters for students whose program period is done but for some reason still have retakes to do. Say one is admitted to a four-year course and has not completed it within the four years. They will select this option during their registration process.
- Finalist: – A finalist is a student in the last year of their program period. It could be the third year for a three-year program, and the fourth year for a four-year program.
- Fresher: – A fresher is a newly admitted student registering for their first semester at campus.
- Stay put: – The stay put option is for students who have had low academic performance as defined by their respective programs, and have been advised not to proceed to the next academic year.
