He also addressed a key concern of what would happen to the old email address. After feedback was shared by staff, it was agreed that;
I. The standard nomenclature will be firstname.surname@mak.ac.ug and that if users have the same names, the one who verifies second, the system will auto-tag name initials.
II. It was agreed, the current university email address say (aopio@dicts.mak.ac.ug, aopio@chs.mak.ac.ug) will be retained for a period of two(2) years. This will allow for your contacts to be
