NCHE Shuts Down Seven Unaccredited Learning Centers Operated by Team University

Seven unaccredited learning centers operated by Team University have been shut down by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE).

The centers were located in Mbale, Iganga, Rugungiri, Hoima, Ntungamo, Fort Portal, and Lira. NCHE had met with university officials in April and instructed them to close down the unaccredited branches.

The university's main campus in Nakawa division, Kampala, which is accredited, is still operational.

In response, Team University's Academic Registrar, Dr. James Ssegawa Kiguddu, has confirmed the closure of the facilities, warning that anyone who operates them does so illegally and will face legal consequences.

All distance learning students are to be integrated into open distance learning through the office of the academic registrar, and all examinations will be held at the main campus.
