Kampala University Central Marking Exercise Nears Completion Ahead Of December In-Service Session

Kampala University is nearing completion of a centralised examination-marking exercise aimed at ensuring that results for students under its In-Service Programme are ready before the December 2026 holiday study session begins.

The exercise commenced on 20 September 2026 at Mutundwe Campus, following Management’s guidance of calling upon all lecturers teaching on the Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya in-service programmes to converge for coordinated marking.

By bringing lecturers together at a central venue, the University seeks to complete marking in time and support the timely processing of students’ results as it has been the norm always. The exercise is progressing smoothly, with the team now preparing to wind up its work.

Timely release of results is particularly important for in-service students, who balance academic commitments with employment, family responsibilities and other obligations. Having their results available before the next session will enable them to assess their academic progress and prepare accordingly for the December study period.

The exercise is being closely supervised by the offices of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, the Academic Registrar and Quality Assurance. Their oversight supports adherence to academic standards, consistency in assessment and the timely completion of the marking process.

Centralised marking also provides an opportunity for lecturers to coordinate their work and address assessment matters within a shared academic environment. This approach supports the University’s efforts to maintain credible results while meeting its service delivery commitments to students.

The initiative reflects Kampala University’s emphasis on efficiency and timely delivery of academic services. It demonstrates the importance Management attaches to ensuring that students receive the information they need to plan their studies and continue their programmes with confidence.

As the marking team concludes the exercise, attention remains focused on completing the necessary academic processes ahead of the December 2026 session. The coordinated efforts of lecturers and the supervising offices underline the University’s commitment to responsible assessment and effective support for its in-service learners across Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya.
