Makerere University has officially announced that its 76th Graduation Ceremony will be held over four days, from Tuesday, February 24, to Friday, February 27, 2026.
In a statement to the public, the university said the ceremony will mark the formal conferment of degrees and awards to graduands who successfully completed their studies across various academic programmes.
University management noted that detailed information regarding the graduation schedule, including the allocation of colleges to specific days and the standard operating procedures for participants, will be communicated in due course through official channels.
The confirmation of the graduation dates comes as Makerere University aligns its academic activities with the national education calendar issued by the Ministry of Education and Sports, which adjusted institutional reopening dates to ensure safety during the General Elections period.
Makerere University has advised graduands, parents, and guardians to take note of the confirmed dates and await further guidance on clearance procedures, gown collection, and participation requirements.
The 76th Graduation Ceremony is expected to attract thousands of graduands and guests, continuing Makerere’s long-standing tradition as Uganda’s premier institution of higher learning.
