Dear Makerere University students,

When you forget your password on the student’s portal (AIMS STUDENT PORTAL - student.mak.ac.ug),

kindly follow the guidelines below to recover your password without having to contact DICTS for extra help.

  1. Access the AIMS student portal via students.mak.ac.ug and all you have to click is the “Forgot Password” and try to recover your password as you follow through with the prompts.
