Students of Makerere University who did not complete their examinations before President Yoweri Museveni closed institutions of learning across the country in June will resume their exams next week online.
A statement from the university Academic Registrar, Alfred Masikye Namoah, says the University Senate and Council have approved the alternative modes of assessment for the completion of semester one exams.
Prior to closure of schools for the second time in June, only finalist and postgraduate students at the university had completed their end of semester exams.
Masikye said the university scheduled the exams to run from September 13 to 30 online since the government has not yet reopened schools for all learners.
According to Masikye, colleges and schools have published detailed examination schedules and timetables
Alternative Assessment Modes
In the meantime,the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof Barnabas Nawangwe, told local media that Senate approved 14 alternative modes of assessment which must all be done online.
Some of them include group assignments, individual take home assignments, tests or questions with options, among others.
According to Prof Nawangwe, colleges and schools are free to choose any mode to assess their learners from the approved alternatives.
The university however, reminded students who had not completed payment of relevant fees to contact their respective college bursars to be guided on the new payment procedures.
According to the Makerere tuition policy, all students are supposed to have completed tuition fees before writing tests and examinations.
