OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR

3rd January, 2022

Dear Students,

RE: JANUARY INTAKE FIRST YEARS REPORTING ON 14TH JANUARY, 2022

On behalf of Uganda Martyrs University (UMU), I take the opportunity to thank you for choosing
UMU to carry out your University education. I further congratulate you for persevering amidst the
challenges of the new normal.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that your reporting date is 14th February, 2022. All other
dates communicated to you are therefore cancelled. I regret the inconvenience this may cause to
you.

As you may be aware, the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) granted UMU
permission to roll-out the Emergency Open, Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) for all our
programmes as the NEW NORMAL mode of delivery. Therefore, the University is using
MOODLE as a Learning Management System (LMS). And on this note, UMU will continue
reaching out to you through a blended mode of teaching and learning. That is to say, for some
lectures you will have face-to-face teaching session and for others, you will be using online teaching
platforms which will be made clear to you during the orientation period.

Thus, in order for you to access UMU’s Online Teaching and Learning, you will be required to
have at least a SMART PHONE and/or a LAPTOP. You will also be required to have access to
Internet or have data that can enable you to access online teaching and learning. For this reason,
you are requested to come prepared to adopt this New Normal mode of delivery as already
mentioned above.

In the Presidential Directives and Guidelines given at the close of last year (2021) it was made clear
that in view of opening up all schools, all teachers and support staff were to be vaccinated. This
also included students aged 18 years and above in Post-Secondary Institutions. It is in this regard
that ALL students are to ensure that they meet all the required SOPs. More importantly, ALL
students must be vaccinated before they are permitted to access all University Premises. For this
reason you are requested to come along with your Covid-19 Vaccination Client Card or Certificate
which will be presented for verification on the reporting day.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT DATES:

1) You are expected to report at your respective Campuses to commence the First Semester of
the 2021/2022 Academic Year on Monday 14th January, 2022. You will be taken through
the orientation weeks up to Friday 4th March, 2022.
2) All FRESHERS at the Main Campus MUST stay in the University Hostels. The Hostel Fees
vary from 450,000/= (Double - meaning two students share a room) to 900,000/= (Single).
Also, the University provides meals at 840,000/= to cater for breakfast, lunch and supper.
Medical Insurance is 60,000/= per Semester. Other UMU Campuses that do not have
University Hostels, students may have to make arrangements through the Campus

 Administration to private service providers.
3) You will continue with the Semester 1 Teaching and Learning until Thursday 14th April
2022 when you will break off for Easter Holidays. You will report back on Monday 18th
April 2022 and resume classes on Tuesday 19th April, 2022 and end on Friday 1st July
2022. Reading Week will begin on Monday 4th July 2022 and end on Friday 8th July 2022.
4) Fees payment of 100% will be obligatory for sitting the examinations.
5) Semester One Examinations will start on Monday 11th July, 2022 and end on Friday 22nd
July, 2022. Hence, First Semester will close on that very day.
6) Once you have received your University email account, you are all advised to continuously
check it or at least make it active so that you do not miss out any official information sent by
the University. This is even more important now that we are continuing to engage you
through Online Teaching and Learning platforms. Once again, the email accounts I am
talking about are the UMU Students’ Emails which will be given to you during the
orientation.
7) As we continue to live and operate in the season of COVID-19, please stay safe by wearing
a mask, avoiding crowds by social distancing, washing hands with soap and sanitizing
all the time.

While wishing you well and hoping you will keep safe as you strive to continue with your studies,
I remain

Sincerely yours,

TIRAGANA Audes
