KAMPALA – Makerere University has on June 12, requested the new students in the 2019/2020 academic year – to print their own provisional admission letters.
The University will only issue them the official admission letter after they have cleared their all the dues that include tuition and functional fees.
According to Mr. Charles Ssentongo the University’s Deputy Registrar in-Charge of admission, says that this move will help the academic institution to cut on printing costs.
