acmis student portal, the new Academic Management Information System (ACMIS) was locally developed through government support by teams from the Directorate for ICT Support (DICTS) and College of Computing and Information Sciences (CoCIS), Makerere University, DICTS-Kyambogo University and some external participants. ACMIS replaces the AIMS system, whose support from government ended on 30th June 2021.
The ACMIS system, was adopted by all Vice Chancellors of Public Universities through the Vice Chancellors forum and will be directly managed by the ACMIS consortium of Public Universities.
It has been brought to our attention that many of you are being misinformed that the ACMIS system can only work or be accessed from DICTS! This is not correct! Any legitimate Makerere user, can access the ACMIS system from any location globally as long as they have good internet connectivity.
How to Activate Your Mak Student’s Portal (ACMIS)

- Inputting student records into ACMIS for students whose data was never captured on AIMS or ACMIS.
