Makerere University has issued vital information targeting prospective students on portal activation and the procedure for program changes at any academic level. The announcement from the Office of the Minister of Academic Affairs explains the process that a student is expected to undertake in accessing their student portals for updating the program selections they made from the outset.
Portal Activation
Upon the successful creation of the student account, students will be in a position to activate the student portal account fully by following these steps below:
- Log on to the portal by simply clicking the link https://myportal.mak.ac.ug.
- Open the myUnik portal.
- Check “Reset my password”.
- You will be asked for your student number to request a token.
- A token is sent to the phone and email used during application.
- Enter the token and your chosen password.
- Advance and sign in with your student number as username and the new password you have chosen.
Note: These are purely Private Sponsorship instructions; Government will be handled by the individual College Registrars.
Program Changing
Students changing programs will start their process on 29th July 2024 to 9th August 2024. Below is the process for change:
- A student pays a non-refundable application fee of UGX 6000 at any bank. The payment reference number required for this payment shall be generated by the student portal.
- Upon logging in:
- A student should click on “MENU” found on the top left side.
- Then select “SERVICE” and click on “APPLY FOR SERVICE”.
- Click on “CHANGE OF PROGRAMME”.
- Fill out all the compulsory fields and proceed to submit an application.
- Generate a reference number for payment.
This process aids in students’ proper transition from one program to another in the event of any changes in programs and ensures that all financial obligations are cleared before effecting the changes.
These are thus important sequences of events as Makerere University gears up for the new academic year in order to make routine administration operate correctly. New students are hence advised to act on them promptly to get started on a smooth university ride.
