Kyambogo University has threatened to cancel the end of semester examination results of 1000 students accused of forging examination cards.

According to Prof Eli Katunguka, the Kyambogo University Vice Chancellor, at least 20 percent of the students in the university didn’t complete their tuition and functional fees as required for one to sit end of semester exams.

Kyambogo university has a total enrollment of 23,000 on the main campus and another 45, 000 students affiliated institutions like Primary Teachers Colleges and National Teachers Colleges.

According to Prof. Katunguka, the problem of none payment of tuition is recurrent at the university.

The problem of forging examination cards is not unique to Kyambogo University. Recently, Makerere University deployed police and sniffer dogs to stop tuition defaulters from accessing the examination halls.

At Kampala University, students were required to present their National Identification Cards instead of the University Identification Cards on top of Examination permits. Only students with sound excuses were allowed to access the examination halls without presenting their national identity cards.

However, Prof. Katunguka says it is hard to conduct a thorough check of students at the university as they enter the examination halls because of the high number.
