So as a University we have set some of the requirements to keep them safe while at the University and during their internship,” Ms Namutebi enlightened.

According to the University Public Relations officer Ms. Kantono Rehema, Nursing students will study for 8 weeks before they sit for end of semester examination then later the National Examinations, while Medical students will study upto end of October and kick off their examinations on 2nd November 2020. Other final year students are expected to report back to campus on 15th of October 2020 following the government’s directive.

To ensure the safety of the students at campus, the University has installed Automatic Hands- Free Dispensers and Instant Hand Sanitizer in all its campuses. Besides that, they have also set tough entry and exit rules to both the staff, students and the community.
