ADMINISTRATION: CLASS OF ’09 TO GRADUATE IN DECEMBER NOT AUGUST

By Mohammed Doyo and Remington Galo
The University administration has finally cleared the air over the groups that will be graduating later this month. Fourth years students who cleared school on 12th July 2013 will not be part of the forthcoming 29th graduation set to happen on 30th August.

“The upcoming graduation will involve students, drawn from all the University’s campuses, who failed to graduate in previous years because of various reasons” clarified Ms. Harriet Ramogi, an administrator in the office of DVC Academics, Research and Extension.

“Every year, students fail to graduate due to fee issues, missing marks, clearance issues among other factors. The 29th graduation will thus have a smaller number of graduates compared to past graduations”, She added.

The fourth years (Class of 2009) are set to graduate in December.

“The class of ’09 will most likely graduate in December after we are done with marking exams and compiling them” said Dr. Menjo, the Principal Administrative Officer in charge of Examinations.

“It is unrealistic to expect fourth years who cleared their final exams on mid July to graduate after one month” added the Officer.

This clarification follows information that was earlier posted in the university’s website that 29th graduation is set to take place on 30th August this year. However, the university had not specified the campus or the groups that were set to graduate
