Kyambogo University students are having concerns on the numbers of retakes that are registered especially from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
According to the information shared, students were introduced to a new portal that isn’t essential to them.
The portal doesn’t doesn’t display information for different students like marks and giving retakes to students inevitably.
Furthermore, the course units and modules are also said it disappear prior to students being added to the system.
According to Akiiki Iryne, a Kyambogo University Bachelor of Arts and Social Sciences finalist confirmed that the university portal is accessable by anyone and can easily be hacked.
“There is a considerable number of issues with the new portal. The portal does not reflect the actual marks. If one had a 60 now he is likely to be having a retake. Retakes are too many on our portals as if that is not enough students do not have their full marks. Some course units have disappeared completely and yet students were added course units they didn’t do”, emphasized Iryne.
“For instance a student who does sociology and social administration in the arts and social science course is not supposed to have economic political science or psychology but students have such course units in a mixture of one course. Above it all the portal is too open so long as one knows your registration number that’s all hence it become easy for hackers to do what they can.” she added.
Another student finalist from Kyambogo University who chose to stay anonymous said she had the same issue as she couldn’t access her portal and marks had vanished. She also added that she cleared all her fees but the university was demanding her to pay that exact amount.
“My portal at first before it was messed up with results issues it was showing that my current academic year was 3 sem 1 and it was appearing twice, that was my first problem and it was showing that they are demanding me functional fees yet I had paid.” A Kyambogo University student pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences revealed.
“The portal is now blocked. Before it was blocked I had accessed it and my marks were messed up I even took screenshots. They gave me wrong marks in some two papers then I was also given two papers that I do not offer and one is a retake. In research designs I had 76 but was given 73.” The student added.
Many graduands from the mentioned faculty are complaining after course units were deleted from their portals yet graduation preparations are in final phase for other faculties.
