His Majesty King Letsie III and NUL Chancellor will officiate at the 49th Convocation for the Award of Certificates, Diplomas and Conferment of Degrees of the National University of Lesotho (NUL) on Tuesday, 8th October, 2024.
This week-long Graduation Ceremony will run from the 8th to 12th October, 2024. The split activities of the ceremony will be held both at the Roma campus and the Institute of Extra-Mural Studies (IEMS) Maseru campus on various days.
In this new mode, the Graduation Ceremony will be staggered over five (5) days split according to Faculties. The first day will be dedicated to the Official Opening of the Convocation by the NUL Chancellor, His Majesty King Letsie III. This will be followed by official speeches. Afterwards, Faculty-specific ceremonies will begin with the Faculty of Law and Faculty of Education on the first day. Other Faculties and IEMS will follow on the subsequent days as shown in the schedule below.
It is the third year that the University holds a staggered ceremony. The aim is to give graduands a chance to enjoy the ceremony in smaller manageable groups rather than a large group, all at once, as has been the case in the past. This enables NUL to attend to the graduands with the dignity and respect they deserve on their special days.
The theme of the graduation ceremony this year is in line with the University’s vision NUL: Recalibrating Quality, Relevance and Visibility.
For logistical purposes, graduands will be expected to bring a maximum of two (2) guests each to the ceremony due to limited space. All logistical arrangements for the graduation ceremonies will follow the established University procedure.
There will be live online streaming of the events via social media channels (NUL Facebook page and NUL YouTube channel) during all the 5 days.
