(i) For the 67th Graduation Ceremony, the customised gowns will be sold to graduands at Shs.75,000/= on a first come first serve basis in the Basement Store of  Makerere University Senate Building.

Note: Graduands who will not be able to secure customised University gowns are at liberty to buy other gowns from the open market as has been the practice.

(ii)Beginning with the 68th Graduation Ceremony scheduled to take place in January 2018; all graduands will be required to procure customised University graduation gowns.
