According to the released programme, freshers are required to report to their respective halls or hostels by 5:00 PM on August 19. This ensures that students have ample time to settle into their new accommodation before the official orientation activities commence. It is important for freshers to arrive on time to avoid any inconveniences and to make the most out of their orientation experience.

The official meeting with the University administrative officials will take place on Monday, August 21 at Freedom Square. This meeting serves as an opportunity for new students to familiarize themselves with the University's administrative structure and to receive important information regarding their academic journey. It is crucial for freshers to attend this meeting as it will provide them with valuable insights and resources to navigate their time at Makerere University effectively.



Furthermore, the Office of the Academic Registrar has also outlined the process for students who may wish to change their courses. From August 21 to August 31, freshers will have the opportunity to apply for a change of course online. However, it is important to note that eligibility for another course is contingent upon meeting the cut-off points set by the University. Students who wish to pursue a different course should carefully consider their options and ensure that they meet the necessary requirements.

In order to apply for a change of course, students will be required to pay an application fee of Shs.6000. This fee covers the administrative costs associated with processing the application and ensures that the University can efficiently handle the requests for course changes. It is important for students to adhere to the specified deadline and submit their applications within the designated timeframe.


Overall, the release of the official programme for the orientation of freshers at Makerere University demonstrates the institution's commitment to providing a smooth transition for incoming students. By attending the orientation activities and following the guidelines outlined by the Office of the Academic Registrar, freshers will be well-equipped to start their academic journey at Makerere University and make the most out of their time at the institution.
