Each campus hosted its own colourful ceremony attended by university officials and the new students eager to begin their academic journey.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Vice Chancellor, Professor Paul Waako, led the admission ceremonies, personally traversing all the campuses to preside over the sessions. Before the official admission, the Academic Registrar, Dr. Lillian Gimunguni, guided the new students through the Students’ Oath, committing them to uphold the institution’s values of discipline, honesty, and respect.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In his address, Professor Waako extended a warm welcome to the incoming students and commended them for choosing Busitema University as their academic home. “Thank you for making Busitema your university of choice,” he said. “The University will nurture you into responsible citizens of this country while ensuring that you excel academically.”</p> <p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/image.png" data-entity-uuid="cbf07eda-ca20-4adc-9cf8-e818b6223173" data-entity-type="file" width="940" height="627" loading="lazy" /><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;"><em><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;" lang="en-UG" xml:lang="en-UG" xml:lang="en-UG"><strong>Professor Paul Waako delivering an address to the students</strong></span></em></p><p></p> <p>He encouraged students to embrace peace, integrity, and decency, both within and beyond the campus environment. “Be agents of peace, stability, and integrity in society,” the Vice Chancellor emphasised. “Distinguish decent from indecent and always choose the right path.”</p> <p>Highlighting the importance of focus and discipline, Professor Waako advised students to set clear academic targets and remain committed to achieving them. He reminded them that class attendance remains a key academic requirement, with all learning sessions being compulsory and an 80 percent attendance threshold in place.</p> <p>The Vice Chancellor also reiterated Busitema University’s ongoing transition to Competency-Based Education (CBE), which places students at the centre of the learning process. He encouraged them to take charge of their education, interact with different teaching methods, and develop lifelong learning skills. “Competency-Based Education means you take responsibility for your own learning,” he said. “Interact with your lecturers, use available learning resources, and always be curious.”</p> <p>Professor Waako urged students to take advantage of the university library and its extensive digital resources, as well as to visit the Busitema University website regularly for academic guidelines and policy updates.</p> <p>He also emphasised the need for self-control and responsible behaviour, warning students against actions that could compromise their academic progress or personal reputation. “Discipline is key,” he said firmly. “Remain focused and determined. Exercise self-control to avoid getting into trouble.”</p> <p>Reflecting on the university’s multi-campus structure, the Vice Chancellor encouraged the students to use it as an opportunity to interact, share experiences, and build friendships across diverse cultures.“The multi-campus nature of Busitema University promotes socialisation and broadens your worldview. Use this opportunity to learn from one another,” he added.</p> <p>As the ceremonies concluded across all campuses, the atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm and anticipation. The 2025 cohort now embarks on a new academic chapter, ready to learn, grow, and contribute positively to both the university and the nation.</p><p></p><p></p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field--tags"> <h3 class="field__label field--tags__label">Tags</h3> <ul class="links field__items field--tags__items"> <li class="field--tags__item"><a href="/tags/admission" hreflang="en">Admission</a></li> </ul> </div> <section data-drupal-selector="comments" class="comments"> <h2 class="comments__title">Comments</h2> </section> <div class="primary-image field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/images/article/2025/20251020_114615.jpg" width="858" height="572" alt="" title="Group photo with the 2025 Bachelor of Anesthesia freshers at the Faculty of Health Sciences " loading="lazy" /> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-display-website field--type-list-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Display Website</div> <div class="field__item">General</div> </div> Fri, 10 Oct 2025 11:43:17 +0000 ivan 379 at https://news.busitema.ac.ug https://news.busitema.ac.ug/be-agents-peace-integrity-and-excellence-vc-urges-busitema-university-welcomes-2025-freshers#comments Busitema University Releases 2025/2026 Provisional Admission List! https://news.busitema.ac.ug/busitema-university-releases-20252026-provisional-admission-list <span>Busitema University Releases 2025/2026 Provisional Admission List!</span> <span><span>moses</span></span> <span>May 31, 2025</span> <div class="field field--name-field-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/all-campus-news" hreflang="und">All Campus News</a></div> </div> <div class="clearfix field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The 2025/2026 Provisional Admissional list for Busitema University is OUT!.
