Where Current Makerere University Students Find Registration, Examinations, and Housing Information

Current students can find registration, examinations, and housing information through the "Content Discovery" tool on the Makerere University homepage (mak.ac.ug). Select "Continuing Student" from the dropdown to see registration, fees, and course options, or pick a specific topic such as "Examinations," "Student Housing," or "Learning Online" to jump straight to that resource. The same tool also offers a "Registration" option under the general listings, so you can reach it without knowing the exact page address.

How the Content Discovery Tool Works

The homepage presents a short instruction — "Use the choices below to gain immediate access to the resources you require" — followed by a dropdown and a "Select Option" button. The dropdown is organized around who you are and what you need:

• By audience: Prospective Student, Continuing Student, Staff, Visitor, Alumni, International Students
• By topic: Admission to Makerere, Courses and Programs, Examinations, Fees & Payment structure, Graduation, Registration, Research Opportunities, Scholarships, Student Housing, Student Life, Learning Online, Life at Campus, Getting in Touch, Giving to Makerere

To use it:

1. Open mak.ac.ug.
2. Find the Content Discovery section on the homepage.
3. Choose "Continuing Student" (for registration, fees, and program details) or the specific topic you need.
4. Select the option and follow the resulting link.

The page notes this is "not a comprehensive list" but is "based on the most requested for information from Makerere University." If your topic isn't listed, the page provides a "Let us know" link to request it.

Registration and Fees

Choose Continuing Student to reach the resources aimed at students already enrolled — the page lists "Continuing Student" alongside "Cut-off Points" and "Fees & Payment structure" as related options. Registration also appears as a standalone topic in the dropdown, which is the most direct route if you only need registration steps. For payment amounts and structures, use Fees & Payment structure rather than relying on the audience menu alone.

Examinations

Examinations is a dedicated option in the Content Discovery dropdown. Selecting it takes you to the examinations resource directly, without needing to browse through the academic or student-life sections.

Housing and Campus Life

Housing and day-to-day student information are split across several options:

If you are unsure which applies, start with Student Housing for accommodation and Student Life for everything else on campus.

Online Learning Resources

Enrolled students studying remotely or supplementing in-person classes should select Learning Online or Online Learning — both appear in the dropdown. These lead to the university's online learning resources rather than general course listings.

If You Can't Find What You Need

The Content Discovery section is explicitly a shortcut list, not a full site index. When your topic isn't there:

• Use the "Let us know" link on the homepage to flag the missing resource.
• Check the news and events sections, which carry current notices — for example, the site lists an open short course on decision modelling for economic evaluation and upcoming events such as the MURBS Annual General Meeting, both relevant to continuing students.
• The homepage also links to Visit, Join, and Give actions, which are aimed at visitors and prospective students rather than current students.

One caution: the homepage's "Subscribe" link goes to a newsletter sign-up form, not to student services. Don't use it as a route to registration or housing information.
