Following consultations with relevant stakeholders, the University of The Gambia wishes to announce that attendance to its 13th
Convocation ceremony, slated for the 27th of
February, 2021 at the QCITY complex in Bijilo, will be restricted to the following:
graduands, University staff members, dignitaries and media houses.
It is a tradition that parents and
well-wishers alike, of the graduands, are invited to grace the convocation
ceremonies. However, this decision is necessitated by the recent surge in
Coronavirus cases in The Gambia and beyond. This year’s ceremony will be held
under strict health protocols. These protocols will be published in due course.
Below are important details about the
convocation for both the prospective graduands and members of staff.
