The 20th of November 2020 marked the end of the undergraduate exams for students who commenced their semester in July 2020. These exams were successfully held in the University from the 3rd of November 2020. Students who sat for these exams are taking courses in Strathmore Law School, Strathmore University Business School, Strathmore Institute of Mathematical Sciences, School of Hospitality and Tourism, School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the School of Computing and Engineering Sciences. In addition, the University made arrangements for students in Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda, who were not able to travel to Kenya, to sit for their exams while in their respective countries.

During this time, there was wonderful collegiality between the Examinations Services Department, administrators and members of faculty, who worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth examination process. Similarly, the majority of students cooperated well with faculty during the exam period. Moreover, the Examinations Services Department and all the Schools in the University have been keen to take the lessons learned during this time so as to make certain that future examinations held in the University, especially during these unprecedented times, go on smoothly.

To everyone who has helped to make these exams a success and a reality for Strathmore, THANK YOU! The SU family greatly appreciates you and your efforts.
