The students at Busitema University will have a very important opportunity to review their choice of academic pathways in the upcoming programme and subject change period. This window, which opens on Monday, 12th August 2024, and closes on Friday, 23rd August 2024, will offer students an opportunity to readjust their academic journey to suit their interests, career paths, or academic performance.
How the Process Works
Online Application:
- Dates: Change of Programme or subject is done any time between 12th August and 23rd August 2024.
- Platform: All applications shall be conducted through the university’s online student portal for ease of application.
- Application Fee: The application fee for a change of programme or subject is UGX 20,000 plus whatever bank charge may apply. This is a mandatory payment for the application process.
- Payment Method: Students will generate a PRN from the portal. This is to be used for the payment of application forms to any participating bank or designated payments center.
Things to Note
Eligibility:
- Prospective Students must only apply if they have met the cut-off points for their desired programmes or subjects. This will enable students to be adequately prepared for the demands of their chosen field of study.
Selection:
- Also, a change of program or subject is not guaranteed and will be subject to meeting the required academic criteria for the intended course. Therefore, students are encouraged to review their options carefully and consult an academic advisor if a need arises.
Why This Matters
A change of program/major may be one of the defining moments in a student’s academic career. It may involve pursuing studies more closely aligned with their career aspirations, moving into a field more personally interesting, or shifting to a program in which a student is more likely to succeed—whatever it is, this process should be designed to help students get the most out of their university experience.
Busitema University understands the need for this flexibility and is, therefore, committed to supporting students through this transition. The university shall introduce an online process so that all students, irrespective of location, will be placed on an equal footing regarding opportunities that come their way.

In case of any inquiries or problems that may arise during the process, students are advised to contact the Academic Registrar’s office. The staff stands ready to provide guidance and ensure that all applications are processed smoothly.
