Armed with these pillars, you will stand the challenges of globalization and develop core values necessary for survival in an uncertain future. During your stay, you need to be familiar with Ndejje University’s vision, mission and philosophy. These are: Vision 9 To be the leading private Christian-based University in Uganda offering quality academic and professional programmes and producing graduates of integrity. Mission 9 To offer excellent, innovative and cost effective university programmes through sound scholarship research and a conducive study environment, preparing God fearing students for their future careers, while promoting Christian principles and values. Philosophy 9 Ndejje University is founded on Christian principles and teachings based on the Bible and the basic doctrines and practices espoused by the Church 2 of Uganda and all these are embodied in the University Motto: “Fear of God Brings Knowledge and Wisdom” 2.0 UNIVERSITY DEVELOPMENT/BRIEF HISTORY Allow me give a brief history of Ndejje University. Ndejje University was established in 1992 as a Christian University of East Africa. Initially it was owned by the Anglican Diocese of Luweero. It was the first privately owned university in Uganda. In 1995 it assumed its current name and status but was licensed in 1998 as an institution of higher learning under the ownership of the Anglican Diocese of Luweero in the Central Region of Uganda. In 2002 the ownership was expanded to include all Anglican Dioceses in the Central Buganda Region. The purpose of the creation of Ndejje University was to restore normalcy and healing after years of war and misrule, and to create development. The University was granted a Charter on 6 August 2009. 3.0 LOCATION As you are now already aware, Ndejje University has three campuses. The Main Campus is at Ndejje, a well-known old and mainly Christian Community that was severely torn by the liberation war from 1981-1985. The second campus is a former Lady Irene Teacher Training College just about 400 meters from the main campus. A beautiful and thick tropical forest with a small stream below separates the two campuses. The Main campus accommodates the library, the administration, sports fields and some other academic facilities. The Lady Irene Campus mainly has staff and students’ accommodation as well as major academic facilities including Faculty of Education, the Computer Laboratory and the University Health Centre. The third campus is where we are now i.e Balintuma. It offers Day, Evening, Weekend and Graduate programmes. This campus has a Library, Computer Laboratory facilities and a Radio studio. Main campus now offers weekend programme in Engineering. 3 4.0 ATTRIBUTES OF NDEJJE UNIVERSITY The administration of this University solemnly pledges to serve you and ensure that you develop your potential fully.

  • Supplementary and Optional Fees Policy
    Foreword Ndejje University Senate is mandated to formulate policies to promote information awareness to parents, students and staff on academic processes. Drawing on the belief that building effective management structures starts with developing consistent policies, the relevant Ndejje University bodies passed policies concerning additional charges to the already existing functional and tuition fees charged either annually or on a semester/session basis. Although supplementary and optional charges have been implemented over the years, there has not been any harmonized and comprehensive handbook on the various charges, a situation that has raised concerns from parents, guardians, sponsors, and students. Therefore compiling this guideline aims at harmonizing policies and fees for ease of administration and clarity of information among Ndejje University stakeholders. For instance, it will be easy for any staff, both academic and administrative to guide the students and parents on the fees. Students will be aware of the charges right from the time of admission. This will help them to make informed decisions before thing is that the student together with their guardians and sponsors can plan theircommitting payment themselves schedules to accordingly. the courses identified in the guide. The important The supplementary and optional fees policy is an essential part of the Strategic Plan that gives the direction for implementation of policies and procedures at Ndejje University. This policy document provides the framework for fees management on the part of students and sponsors’ working environment. It will go a long way to improve further the academic excellence at Ndejje University. The process of developing this policy document has been consultative and participatory, involving stakeholders from students, parents, council members and staff.

    2016 Conference Abstracts Ndejje University 1st International Scientific Conference on Bio-waste recycling in Uganda 26 – 28 September 2016 1. Automated Livestock Tracking and Management System: Makerere University (CEDAT), School of Engineering, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering By J. Nayebare1, A. Niyonzima2, P. Bogere3 Successful farming has always required intense manual labour and acute management skills. Technological advancements of agricultural revolutions reduced the quantity of manual labour required but human direction is still necessary. A main component of these new strategies is livestock monitoring information. Animal tracking provides valuable information including recent location, movement and feeding patterns, and land usage. The collection and storage of this information as well as actions based upon the information are becoming more automated. In this research project, a system prototype for tracking and recording livestock was developed. The prototype requires attaching an animal with an RFID tag assigned a unique ID. Different read locations (e.g. barn, dip, field, and gate) assigned RFID readers that read from the RFID tag. A tag read by a reader determines the tag’s location and, therefore, that of the animal. A programmed microcontroller, with connected readers, processes data from the RFID tag. A Wi-Fi connected microcontroller forwards the data of a tag, location and timestamp to a mobile application and web application in real-time, thereby availing data from all the read stations. 1st International Scientific Conference on Bio-waste recycling in Uganda – 2016 Ndejje University 2.

  • The Privilege to Select. Global Research System, European Academic Library Collections, and Decolonisation
    The Privilege to Select To European social sciences and humanities researchers, substantial parts of potentially relevant literature published in the “Global South” are invisible. This literature is neither indexed in any subject databases nor acquired by European libraries – a gap virtually unacknowledged by the inform ation profession and, consequently, also by researchers worldwide. Uncritical talk about an international research system is omnipresent, and the attribution of the “Global South” as its periphery is not only taken for granted but also serves to stabilise the “Global North’s” privilege. The call for decolonisation is currently gaining momentum in many contexts, especially in heritage institutions. However, NORA SCHMIDT academic libraries exempt themselves from this movement if they continue to interconnect user demand directly with vendor-preselection products. This book develops conceptually and empirically grounded arguments for European academic libraries, researchers, information professionals and research managers, leading to the insight that they can only contribute to global social justice if they radically question their privilege to select and put this privilege on hold. Cooperation in various ways is key to (re)producing and receiving society’s knowledge, and to tackling its complexity with cultural humility. Nora Schmidt Nora Schmidt holds second-cycle degrees in library and information science, sociology and history of art. The Privilege The Privilege to Select to Select is her PhD project at the Department
